A few questions from a prodigal son

Hi Tom,

I have a few links to the origine of that coil

Gilmore style?

New gismo added after the test ride, a stainless coil on the outside on the reactor, to drip in water and… should be up and running before the exhibition Very tight fit, had to counter force it to open it width enough to fit on the outside of the reactor. water dripping + exhaust gasses will be “super” heated before they enter the reactor… ( i hope ) [image] [image] [image]

And the why to use that:
pay attention to the air intake of the gasifier, the color of the glowing changes when the water steam enters, the engine revs up from the hydrogen formed in the reduction with the glowing carbon.

If you place the nozzle 90 degrees in the “reactor pipe” it will get that pipe red hot on the opposite side, causing the steel to oxidize away rather quickly

This is a clip to demonstrate how far the red glowing zone reaches in this simple build with an horizontal nozzle.
I keep my charcoal small sized, bamboo charcoal, then that hot zone stay’s in limits
