I've never been so inspired in my life to get my shop cleaned out and start building things again. You explained things in a way that made perfect sense and makes this seem very easy and not just early adopter technology for the world's elitists or the wealthy

I've built several wood gasification systems. The last one was of my own design. I had the blower going to a welded black steel manifold. From there the air was fed from the manifold to equidistantly placed jets that fed the burn pot. Below that restriction area was my shaker grate. Mad from a stainless steel colander. The extracted gas went through a three stage filter/cooling system. First the cyclonic vessel to remove heavy particulate. The second being a water exchange vessel to cool tars and extract them. The vapor was sent to a military grade 2 football 2 foot air drop box filled with with dry pine needles to capture any excess moisture, finalize cooling and extract any leftover tars. The flame was a 12 foot long clear flame that immediately ignited a 2x4 when placed in the flame path. It ran for several hours with roughly 10 to 15 pounds of wood pellets in the hopper. When checked at the end of my first run all that was left in the shaker basket was carbon dust and a small amount of biochar. I also built the fema gasifier but was not immediately impressed with it as it produced a much dirtier gas. I'm currently preparing to build my next generation gasifier and love videos from other people who dabble in gasification. Thank you for the video and God bless. Please keep em coming. Now that I'm healing from a recent full lumbar fusion I'll start posting my progress on the latest iteration of the unit I'm building

You have a gift for being straightforward and move along at a good pace. Please keep making the videos as well as giving us updates. Revisit topics and just keep pumping stuff out. We'll let you know haha. Thank you. I've been into gassifiers for about 10 years now but haven't had the stones to actually try it out yet.

All you have to do is times 90 million times 42 to get the total number of gallons. Then all you have to do is multiply that number by the cubic foot of a gallon. Of course, this is somewhat imprecise because not all oil is used to make gasoline. Some portion of oil is used to make plastics, but that is actually a very small percentage. Almost all of it is burned in a combustion engine. Petrochemicals does use a decent amount of oil, but it really isn't that much of a percentage.

if you have a battery bank and wind or solar generation then this is a good back up, or even just make it for a grid connected house and keep it around for power outages, it's easier to store bags of wood pellets than it is jerry cans of gas, which has a short shelf life to boot.

Good job putting this video together. I have been running one of these as a primary power source when we lose the electric grid. The wood gas runs an engine, turns an alternator which charges a 12 VDC battery bank, a 3000 watt inverter converts the DC to 110 VAC. Great fun and a worthwhile endeavor.

This is awesome, great build and thank you for taking the time to share. I completely agree that it's a shame that more people aren't interested in this, or even know it's possible. Other than the hazards, specifically CO and just dealing with fire and burning stuff in general, a ready made packaged system could be a great way to efficiently turn yard waste or shredded paper into energy! In the meantime, I have to follow your lead and build something similar. Very cool stuff.

The civilians were forbidden by the Japanese occupiers from using gasoline, kerosene or diesel fuel for their vehicles including public transportation as the Japanese needed it for their military use. Very common at the time in other countries occupied by the Japanese too. However, I never understood how it worked, now I do! Thanks!!!

sounds like extortion to me. if you dont use the utility they shouldn't charge you.

That's amazing. Chemistry is fun. Environmental impact aside, this technology is super useful to master just in case of something like an economic collapse scenario. Thanks for sharing with the world.

if he would have let the wood decay the slow way, it still would have given off the same amount of gas

Love it, I’ve known about gasified for a long time, but I’ve never tried to make one. Thanks for the informative video

Wow! This is a fantastic and seems like quite the rabbit hole to fall into. Very interesting. Great job explaining also.

Well done. this is great , the build starts tomorrow! Thanks for a great video.

That's fantastic! I hope it goes well!

Needs a coat of paint! “Kidding” Great video, Awesome presentation and narrative!

currently my favorite youtube channel. thank you for your service.

Yes I agree with most of the comments very well explained and top marks for presentation , the world needs more of this calibre of people , thank you very much

This is a really well made video with thorough explanation of all the parts and how it functions. Plus a good sense of humour. Have you experimented with trapping all the output gas by condensation and burning whatever cant be condensed? Can syngas become viable liquid fuel? Or at least making a proper carburettor type chamber for the gasifier to generator interface.

Keep on making videos man, this is great

I never heard of this before...this is absolutely amazing!!!

Explaining this in terms of common sense! Love it!

Great video. I would like to see more when you can. It would be interesting to see the total energy you could get out of a batch of wood. Have you tried to put a load on the generator?

Very nice! I think it's worth saying that it'd be a good idea to use a brushless motor for the blower to reduce the risk of the iginiting the gas

I have never heard or seen this process. I did like and subscribe. I loved this video! I'm planning on building one as soon as I get finished with some lingering projects. This is it here great job man!

What a great idea. Never have heard of this before I'm sure the process could be refined even more like you said and sure makes a almost sustainable unlimited amount of electricity available. Course you do have to have an engine fired generator to make it all work really.

We need a step by step tutorial. Thank you for the video.

Incredible mate! Something iv always wanted to try as I'm an engineer, well informed video, you got a new subscriber 👍🙂

Coolest gizmo I've seen in a while. Well-done on the video and details. I'll need to make one (a bit larger) for SHTF prep.

Anybody else get an "inspire clean energy" ad in the middle of this? Lmao

Me and my dad tried to make one of these for a science fair project when i was a kid. mine didn't work nearly as good as yours... And by that i mean mine didn't work

Lol! Well, 🍻 for trying bro but don’t give up! Never give up , stay positive and believe in yourself just like the lil’ 🚂 making its way up the mountain grade! “I think I can . . I think I can” will eventually give way to “I know I can” which will eventually become “I knew I could” as you reach the summit and achieve your goal! 👍🏻 keep going

Hello Sir, I'm very impressed. A few minutes ago i also saw someone who had fabricated a gasifier. I still know the stories from my past away dad about driving cars in WW2. They made gas from " turf " . A plant material that they used for a couple of hundreds years for burning in stoves. It was more for the poor because others could buy coles and antraciet. Due to the heavy use of this thing called Turf they had to dig large canals as close as the could next to each other. A couple of hundred of meters long and then going back for a couple of hundred of meters. Tens of meters width and a few meters deep. After that they did cut in in smaller peaces like a brick so they could burn it in a stove. But the demand was so great that they had to dig out so much of this plantmaterial at the size of a city. But a couple of hundreds of years ago there were big storms. So the barriers between the long digs collapsed. And in one short time gigantic eareas changed forever because it became gigantic lakes. And so was a place created that today is filled with lots and lots of Chinese people who wants to visit it. They call it little Venice.😱 As poor it was back then how rich the area is today. Filty rich. Do you also have a bigger build where bigger logs can be used ? It would be great if i could get some inspiration for building such a build because i also live at the countryside. For what i have seen from your build is that it could easily power up my home and maybe it has enough juice to even push the counter from the electricity meter back down. Just like it does with solar panels ? You stated and also the other person that the gas has to got as dry as possible. And also as cold as possible. Probably because it can hold more gas per x volume ? Would it not be possible to make a (steel) tube that is running through water ? So it is coled down ? And maybe also through a water siphon so it gets a bit cleaner ? I will watch your video a few times more so i can understand the process a little bit better. It is great that you are letting others see what they can do. For letting people starting to let see what they are capable of when they would just start to try building something like you did. It would be very funny if i would do the lawn with a smoking lawnmower.😂 Thanks.🙏

In Sweden (and I guess many other Nordic countries) we converted petrol engine cars to wood gas when there was a petrol shortage (at war times). It is in fact pretty efficient, clean and eco friendly when done right.

Love the amount of forethought you put in this!

Brilliant video. Direct and straight to the point.

In theory the charcoal in the bottom of that would be activated so it’s an activated charcoal maker too.

Activated charcoal can purify water. Very useful in a bug out/homestead situation. Although activated charcoal made from coconut husks is supposed to be less carcinogenic.

@@azteacher26 If I recall correctly the quality of char from gasification is pretty ashy and isnt really usable for much. After gasifying, it's pretty much spent so the energy content and quality isnt near that of charcoal. Industrially speaking, it's pretty much waste and has to be disposed of. I don't know exactly how activated charcoal is made but I'm pretty sure it has to be a certain quality and processed with chemicals to maintain a highly porous structure.

This has been one of the best explanations of this whole process I have seen. Have you tried to quantify how long your generator will run with a certain amount of fuel?
