Very interesting this ZIS 354 system picture F.Pal
I can sent you a link to some detailed discussion to the ZIS 17 and 18 forestry equipment if you want.
This one it appears the gas cooler is built around the fuel hopper section. Do you agree?

hi steve and frances
I saw your russian gasifier pics didn’t the russians have a wet wood gasifier?
I was never able to find much on it but somewhere i think i heard that they had to blow the steam off and then burn the dried wood.
I heard they really did a lot with gasification
if you have any pics i would love to look at them
thanks
Tom M.
The wet wood gasifier comes from a 1952 book :Logging Mechinization in the USSR by A. Koroleff. I borrowed mine from an interloan library system through Michigan State Unniversity. Here are some of my pics from when the woods powered their own harvest.

Hello everyone, Steve U truck gasifier Russian timber 354, it is only part of the gas cooling and filtration the driver’s left and behind the cab on the right there is the gasifier as seen on other photo, I’ve never came to find documentation on the 354, I think it was the most successful as Russian truck manufacturing serial wood gasifier.

WWII Gasification - BBC documentary where they reenact farming in WWII England. This episode they build a gasifier on an ancient truck, based on a tractor from the war. They leave out a lot of detail, but still interesting.
starts at about minute 22.
