What size engine does that thing have? I would think it takes a fair amount of power to move a tank of water that large.
not sure yet, between 1000 and 1400 cc
looks like a 2 cylinder watercooled, has gearbox and cardan to the rear axle…
its a Tri-cycle 
called Tuktuk in Thailand
the other one, they call it a Skylab
Gasifier been tested… ( without Co2 input )
79% efficiency
Output gas 11,43Mj/Kg
in rounded numbers per weight:
Co. 60%
H2. 3%
HC. 2%
Co2. 0,7%
Are those H2 3% test numbers with or without water/steam injection?
With moderate water drip into the coil.
The data is calculated per weight of the gas, not per volume.
( was to compare the input-output ratio )
engine was running at 2400 rpm, gas output +/- 80 L/min
could not go full throttle coz gas was to rich and air intake of the mixer to small ( disconnecting the hose and giving it some extra air did rev up the engine a lot.
Now working on testing equipment and automation.
The cost for proffesional equipment is high and the budgets are still small 
But we applied for the budgets and are waiting …
Above the numbers where per weight
60% Co, 3% H2, 2% HC
Per volume that is:
22% Co, 60% H2 and 1,7% HC
Have to find a balloon for the H2…

the others try to build it…
opted to change the size from the “little one” for the Honda. i keep writing and reading GX37, but it is an GX35, need glasses i guess…
Video starting the GX35 with the little one
I installed this gas flow meter to give me an exact read out of the gas flow i am pulling ot the gasifier.
Works great and gives me a good insight
What is the range travel distanc goal on that baby / looks like quality work .
What is the range travel distanc goal on that baby / looks like quality work / how much wood does the 2.5 k generator use in 5 hours / THANKS ,COEN.
My sets are running on Charcoal
It takes about 0,5 kg per KwH ( less with full water drip)

That looks very doable. Is the cross section area of the nozzle a critical factor to hp. I plan on using the 8hp 5kw gen set I currently have.

Koen,
Al D. had a simple fire set up in Arkansas at the meet up. We sprayed water in the ignition port with a spray bottle with a fine mist and a direct stream. We were unable to notice any increase in gas. Do you have any idea as to what we were missing?

Yes, the size of the nozzle is a critical factor.
If you can give me some detail about your engine displacement and RPM, i can give you a pre- calculated size for starters.
Are you running it with standard carb or something modified ?

There are a few possibility’s:
-Running already on the “rich side” and at a “choked” level from carburator restriction
( once my gas was so rich it needed the gas tube disconnected to give it more air )
-Your air intake valve might be on the small size, so not enough air to increase the RPM
- The engine was already running at high rpm ?
- The temperature in the reactor was to low to convert it into H2 ?
i will work on a explanatory how i see things and why i do them the way i do… ( knowledge for the advanced ? )
It might be helpful for those who want to know…
