I may make another thread for my new crossdraft to show what I’ve designed but i just dont wanna waste anyones time here by not checking all threads before I know if its been done and talked about as a construction.

I agree with Tom and Don. Make a new thread and show us what you built. I would like to see how you made it and the fuel you tried so far.

I’m interested in how you inflated a tube with the gas. I’d expect some “that’s dangerous” comments but I’m curious how it was done. The only thing I have found here similar was Matt’s VersiFire which stored the gas in a gasometer.

Gasometer / Gas Holder

I was thinking about building a gasometer to run my RV fridge and I had the thought why not displace the water instead of a vessel? This way you can take advantage of the water weight to compress the gas bit to get more energy density pr charge. It would still be relatively safe. (I would never ever consider or endorse pressurizing hydrogen or CO in a sealed container ever.) So here is what I am considering building. Using one 16 gallon 14 inch diameter barrel drum and a 55 gallon barrel drum. …
