I sure like using bits and pieces that are just laying around the shop… no additional welding required… as soon as some silicone hardens and Rich finds me a chunk of 1 1/2 hose I can give it a go…

Hey Rich!! Get that piece of hose over here. I want to see this thing work. I have no idea what it is but I think I see a horizontal cyclone and a cooling rack What is in the tanks, few people know.TomC

ran for about an hour but I suspect i’m getting plugging again due to my preheat design… If my engine will run on gasoline after it’s sat and cooled all day… meaning the valves arn’t all tared up… I’ll rebuild the reactor better… here’s hoping

more done to the new gasser… lots more than what the picture shows… just have to put a condensate catchment on it and a lid hinge/handle and I’ll be able to burn it…

Looks interesting, I can only imagine whats going on under there

Condensate catchment and gasser halves are welded together. Just need to fab hinge, latch and handle and I can put fire in it.

cleaned out the cyclone today.,… two different grates and about 2 1/2 hours flaring on it… I suspect the first grate slipped more char than the second.

ran the gasifier on the genset for about an hour today with a 1.5Kw load on it. It was kinda hard getting it running until I realized the choke on the gas carb was on… ran much better with it off. Chips are still far too wet to be using… and because unlike my other gasifier design the wood gas isn’t cooled by the gasifier body and air preheat so the cooler is far hotter than it should be to work well.
I’ll build a couple of things tomorrow that may help if the engine isn’t stuck in the morning once it’s cooled off all night.
we’ll see tomorrow.
