Koen…I sure hope this works. This is a really neat build. Keep us informed on your progress.

Hi Gary L,
It works…
The administration of Dan Si Suk enjoying the ride with the Green waste Charcoal driven bike…
ทดสอบขับมอเตอร์ไซค์ที่พลังงานทดแทน ณ อบต.ด่านศรีสุข อ.โพธ์ตาก จ.หนองคาย …สุดยอดดดด…
A link to the fun… video
Hi Koen
Nicely done, you better start preparing plans, and directions.
Thanks Patrick
Hi Patrick,
Yes, the first steps also includes teaching the users what they are dealing with…
imagine, the bike has already 97k on the clock, when the clock stopped counting…
it is less power then gasoline but it ran so smooth…
preparing some endurance test and consumption runs, some mods to do and the fresh paint…
swem with no limits 
Ok, the math on the drip… ( it seems i can give it some more )
steam to air ratio desired 1 to 9 ( 10% )( value per weight )
Engine displacement 0,12 L
Rpm max 4000
Amount air-gas mixture max: 2000 * 0,12 = 240 L/min , efficiency 0,7 = 168L/min
air to gas ratio 50/50
gives 84L/min gas to generate at max ( real values between 30L/min at stationary and 84L/min at max )
Ratio air to charcoal before gas = 0,6
84L/min *0,6 = 50,…L/min at air intake at max
30L/min *0,6 = 18L/min at air intake at stationary rpm
50L/min air = 45Gr by weight * 10% = 4,5 Gr water per minute = 4,5 ML = 90 Drops /min = 1,5 drop/sec
18L/min air = 16Gr by weight * 10% = 1,6 Gr water per minute = 1,6 ML = 32 Drops /min = 0,6 drop/sec or 1 drop every 2 secs
I did start with 1 drop every sec and all worked fine, lets see what next test runs will do
if the coil gets really heated up after a long flaring , i might ad a lot more water
Calculated power with the above values: 2,9Hp @ 4000 Rpm or 2,2Hp @ 3000 Rpm
gas composition ( estimated )
30% Co
15% H2
d**n, i would give an arm and a leg for some measuring tools and a dyno 
Have on board:
1: Generator 2 Kwh
2: Water pump 30 Cbm/ Hr
ready for showing of tomorrow…
Maybe the Governor will take a spin ?
You have her looking good Koen!!
it’s an impressive ride
She’s an oldie… but she drives so smooth…
Today tested her without water… it runs but it misses the throttle response a lot
with sufficient water its almost not noticeable the difference between gasoline and charcoal gas…
People start asking for driving her…
Looks very professional Koen. I’m guessing with a charcoal gasifier the hopper needs to be straight up? One can’t increase the girth to shorten it?
Hi Bill,
No, this design is as it came together. Sure any form will do. In this case making shorter also reduces the hight above the hot zone, ergo earlier refilling. Studying for improvements. but real engineering is making something what works with the materials available
This little baby rocks
Koen, that is a very cool ride. I like it a lot, nicely done.
This exhibition was successful, the Governor invited me to the capital city Nong Khai province next week, 05 march to demonstrate the gasifier…
100 Baht cash should be sufficient to make any traffic fine disappear.
I know someone in Thailand who speaks to the police in German if he gets pulled over, some police speak a little English but with German they usually give up and send him on his way.
Looking the surprise on people’s faces when making the engines run, one by one… they don’t have gasoline and no carburators???
Showing a little flare ( i blew back in the hose )
Made them clear it was really gas and really hot…
Hi Gary H,
I think they raised that to a 200 Bath now
But i enjoy the positive interaction i have with them…
They already want me to build one of their cars with a gasifier… ( not a joke )
But for that i would take a WK instead of one of mine idea’s
car engine isuzu 2,5 TD direct injection, rotating injection pump… no intercooler.
