The advantage from the diesel engine is that its build for the torque and to withstand the higher compression already. The long stroke is perfect for woodgas and or CNG due the slow burning rate.
I am experimenting for having the woodgas as preferred fuel, the hurdles are emission control and fuel efficiency.
I have many things to learn dough… but that learning process is utmost exiting…
Also, i have to build a small scale system, farmer style, to be presented at the asian gasification convention on 25 november. Most likely, the plastic - charcoal gasifier will be shown as well.
Wow, Thanks so much Thierry… This is a must read, must have for those who use the Charcoal and drive… Also a lot off clear explanations… Must have been written by a Belgian…
I think i have seen some of it when it was just written, during my military education…
Hence, a lot of this info i am using in my developments…
I enjoyed the part of the flame speed / per mix , that was missing in my library
Again, thanks
Its sure worth to translate it…
Who said that education sucks ?
Hello Don,
Download the file. Then go to Translate.Google.com. Click on the “From” and “To” tabs to select first, what language the original PDF is in (From), and what language you want it translated into (To). Then click on the blue “translate a document” 3. Click on “browse“ and then select the PDF file from your computer that you want translated.
When I did that this morning, Google did the text only and didn’t show the diagrams, so open another window with the French document so you can read both at the same time. I put this into my search engine to find the document, “adaptation-optimale-de-groupes-moteurs-combustion-interne-gazog-ne”, without the quotation marks. It is 44 pages long. In Linux, when you download it, it will be under “downloads”. Select “most recent” to find it. In Windoze, you may have to look and look, but it is somewhere…
Koen, the downloaded file (in French) is 1.9 MB, and I can’t seem to save the translated file, but it since it doesn’t show the diagrams, it is only half done.
Thanks Ray, I got the whole thing translated and then copied and pasted including the charts into Word format. I don’t know how to share .doc files here though.
Looks real nice, you teaching the kids with road wheels transit,are you adding a little used cooking oil to make that charco go a bit farther, for cooling. Thanks
Hi Kevin, Not sure what you asked here
These 2 sets went to Nigeria.
On the other sets i have, we can drip anything into the coil to vaporise it.
All will pass trough the nozzle and the hot glowing char to be cracked.
Eventually i can connect the outlet from the coil to the intake from the engine, not tested that yet, but it would produce a useable effect if the fluid is sufficient clean after heating it up.
sure worth to try it… running to my shop, so to speak, for testing this idea…
Koen interesting idea. Connect the coil has intake or the entrance of the gasifier!
Do you think the coil helps to protect the nozzle temperature too high?
Your design with coil seems posed fewer problems in the nozzle?
Thierry
rolling stock , How many electromotive division locomotives still exist ? Could one with 3d printing and new cylinder head insert be converted to wood gas to produce power to fast charge electric cars ?
