It is not a success, it is a feat, think of all the gasifiers if they work at the same time, now and in the future, this must represent a good bundle of KW, knowing that under its latutides, the biomass grows quickly, it’s a master stroke. especially without overloading the air with CO2, and an energy within reach of all social strata, again congratulations.

Hi Tom,
Looking at the explaining for purpose of education.
The different steps and what can be done with it.
Explaining how it works, steps involved, size of components , nothing special or nothing you don’t know already.
I also post this at DOW and point them towards the importance of their work.
trying to get them to look at the work thats also been done by others ( here on Dow )
Kinda make them feel proud , doing things and being on the world stage …

This is great stuff Koen.
on another subject, last night I heard on the radio here that Thailand has only 7 deaths due to COVID. DO you think those numbers are actually accurate or do you think they may have some politics involved as well. ?

Hi Billy,
Those numbers are incorrect.
Here you find the official numbers, you can follow up worldwide

So far Thailand has 3162 cases and 58 deaths.
On the fore mentioned website you can click on a lot of information tabs
This is the official page from John Hopkins University, snoop around it might broaden your insights

Koen,
What is the difference in the fuel efficiency between directly cooking over charcoal, versus cooking over the gas from an electric blower forced draft charcoal gasifier?

Looks like he has a variable speed control on the fan maybe it is more important to him to have a variable flame that is more easily controlled than just a charcoal fire.

Hi Steve,
Its a huge safe on costs for charcoal, since you don’t have to fire up a whole pot of charcoal.
Instead you just burn what you need and stop the gasifier…

Koen; One question that sticks in my mind---- is it safe to cook on char-gas in an inclosed room. I don’t think so, but see pictures of people cooking in these small rooms with no light and dirt floors. ( not that the dirt floors mean anything except these folks surely don’t have carbon monoxide or dioxide alarms.) TomC

Hi Tom,
Indeed, it is NOT safe to cook in closed rooms.
But , outside of your view, the places they use this are actually always open or well vented.
Mostly there are no wall’s that fully enclose the places they cook, mostly halfway outside kitchens.

Koen, is that motorcycle a shaft drive or chain drive? And how did you bend your pipe?
Over here, motorcycles are too expensive to play with.
Nice !

Hi Jeff,
I doubt that the motorcycle owner is playing, if you mean wasteful frivolity. Over there everything is too expensive to play with.
Also, I am thankful for your beautiful work that looks seriously playful to me.
