I built a gasifier years ago..had the same problem. You need to restrict the ingoing air at the FIREBOX once you have a good fire going, then the engine will run. You only need just enough air to keep the fire lit, too much and the gas it produces combusts. he gas you need to get is carbon monoxide and hydrogen....my engine ran really well once i did this

@imjeremy51

Makes sense. The flammable gasses are unburned fuel due to incomplete combustion. If you restrict the oxygen, less oxidization happens in the firebox leaving free radicals in the smoke ready to ignite once oxygen is reintroduced in the engine.

Your method sounds kind of weird and probably wasteful of fuel, a lot harder to control gas mixture to the engine also!

So yeah they probably do get too much "waste products".

@edifyguy

They're starting the fire with charcoal, which has insufficient hydrocarbons (it's mostly just carbon) so the output is mostly carbon dioxide, which is inert. The wood isn't getting involved enough in the short burns they're using. They need to use just wood and no charcoal if this is going to work. The charcoal may as well be dirt for as much help as it is.

edifyguy ...... Straight charcoal have been used in gasifiers for vehicles, it works fine!!! I believe that charcoal is a better fuel than wood for a gasifier, it is also a lot simpler to make a charcoal gasifier than a wood gasifier! Look up how gasification works, It does not work as you think. But you are probably correct that the output of their gasifier is mostly CO2, because the air intake for the gasifier looks huge!

You'll get much more "Wood Gas" from heating the wood, rather than burning it.. You'll need a system similar to a "Double Boiler" cooker.. Light a Fire under the the fire chamber you made, not in it.. You *Cook the Wood* , NOT burn it.. .. Wood will produce much more gas, without burning it..

@lorenzo42p

yea, was thinking that. I think when the engine finally starts, it uses up what flammable gasses are in the pipe then stalls out. once the engine is running it increases the pull on the gas pipe, which lowers the fuel ratio, and burning up more oxygen by the fire in the back.

Actually this design is not that inefficient. When the air rushes in, the fuel at the bottom of the container is burned and the oxygen is getting depleted very quickly. The burning fuel creates very hot gasses that can transfer their energy to the remaining fuel very fast and since there is no oxygen left, a lot of woodgas is produced. And this is the advantage over a design where the heat is transfered over a steel membrane.

They appear to have it setup more like a pyrolysis oven, where the hydrocarbons cooked out of the wood are plumbed back to the heat source to fuel the reaction which is consuming the majority of the wood gas being produced, in effect they are plumbing a lot of exhaust with some unburnt fuel into their engine by the looks of it.

You guys are living the life! Own a garage / build stuff / have fun with friends. Doesn't get much better then that.

WWII, wood-cracking systems are pretty common in Germany. Commercial and civilian vehicles often couldn't get proper petrol, so they cooked wood. Near the end of the war, military vehicles were converting to wood. Great technology!

You need a sealed gas generator with one outlet as the only opening to get strong flammable gas, and you need to basically convert hardwood to charcoal in the generator. That would require an external heat source so try making a sealed gas generator that can be heated via an external wood fire that isn't part of the intake lines. It would probably help to either remove the carb completely or at least make it so that it's WOT at all times, and control the air intake with a separate valve like the one you had on the system Great build and an interesting idea! You never know when you might need this sort of thing to be the only one driving in emergencies

Hi guys! Charcoal is wood that has already had the gas removed. Charcoal is basically just pure carbon- no gas present. Try using pine wood (high resin content) and maybe a little vegetable oil for extra heat and extra flammable gas. Good luck!

It needs to be heated coal not burnt. Wood would be better. You need to have a separate tank underneath your tank to have a fire in to heat it and that heats the other section which produces the gas

Nope, not how it's done. His problem is that he's trying to use some charcoal, and charcoal is not suitable. If he used wood and only wood, his design would work. His design is pretty much the way it's always been done. Wood gasification to fuel cars is actually very well understood, and was widely practiced during World War 2.

right. the fire is burning the gas instead of the the engine burning it. when heated the gasses are evaporated then combusted within the engine.

Yes and no. What happens when you do it with wood is that the bulk of the wood gas (volatiles) is not actually burned in the fire tank, called a gasifier, but passes out the exit and into the engine where it is burned. Charcoal is wood with the volatiles already burned out. The problem with using charcoal is that there is not enough volatiles left for the gas leaving the gasifier to have sufficient fuel value to power the engine. The volatiles in the wood are what primarily powers the engine, and the charcoal left behind from that is what primarily powers the gasifier. Charcoal is simply not a good fuel for this.

Also it took 40 minutes to get going from cold. What could make sense is to make a woodgas "refinery" in your garage a run your car on compressed store woodgas. Then you have room for better filters and cooling, so it would be like driving on LPG.

Highly entertaining. Really great documentary "in action" to watch. Cheers; subscriber from Canada. The car might be able to use an AFR gage "Air fuel ratio" sensor welded into the exhaust pipe to tell you what air/fuel ratio is happening. Then you can change the air draft intake and the gage will tell you right away what Air/Fuel ratio is being pumped in the exhaust pipe.

Their burner is too small. It produces enough burnable waste gas to fill the pipe to the engine, which lets the engine run for 10 seconds or so. But once it's sucked up that gas, it dies again. You'd need something bigger.

"... And shooting videos at night, is usually not a great idea " -- Take notes, 3am channels.

In charcoal all the flammable gases (that can make your engine run) are already burnt out during the charcoal-making process. It will only work with wood.

Nice idea. Done in France and Australia during WW2. Pretty sophisticated designs then. The charcoal it produces is valuable for high quality iron smelting. It has the carbon without the sulphur and other contaminates in coal.

Telling everyone you set your Lada up to run on wood gas might not keep the police from seeing you're really operating mobile vodka still.

"Mooom, Uncle's driving the stove again!"

I respect you not having long time between videos on one project

I know this was months ago but your problem is that you do not need to use charcoal you need to use a green wood. Then, you do not need that wood to be burning. You need to have one chamber below with charcoal or cured wood burning in it, providing heat to the chamber above that the green wood in it. This raises the temperature of the green wood to the point that it does not combust but creates gas. It needs to be just below its combustion temperature. At this point you will have enough wood gas to run the engine. Remember engines need different volumes of gas to run at different speeds so if you're making enough gas for the engine to idle you'll need more gas still to drive down the road.
