I don’t know of anyone else doing syngas. If you explain it to people the odd one is interested, but it takes a very particular personality to actually want to see it through. Very few people are decent metal fabricators plus auto tinkerers, plus have the time and space to do such a project, a healthy scrap metal collection and then have access to the biomass supply. I suspect however that as the global oil situation progresses suddenly there will be a lot more motivation, same as the situation in Australia and Europe in WWII. But this situation is moving too fast and with too little background information to adapt. Back in the day syngas was a known fringe technology commercially deployed.

Hi. Yes not much interest around here, but a few who are keen. Mostly people get a glazed over look on their faces and smile at you sympathetically. I have never worried much what others think of what I do. Once my burned finger settles down I will finish my charcoal retort and try out the gasifier. Thank you for the input .
