Hello! I have been a lurker for a while, gathering information. I would like to use wood gas to run stationary engines. I am very interested in micro-hydro, and wind turbines. recently retired, was a mill wright, technician in manufacturing environments. Love to design and build things.

Welcome Kent, you will find a lot of great information here. If you have any questions just ask. We will be glad to answer and help you if you need it.
The most active members are premium members where the WK Gasifier or Keith Gasifier is located. Look around in the open library where there is a wealth of information.

Kent,
Welcome to DOW. You will enjoy the interaction with those on this forum. It has become a great form of entertainment and valuable source of information for me. It’s a great place to be.

Welcome Kent, DOW members have a lot of truck-mounted gasifier. A truck unit has a lot of varying load conditions just a bit more complicated to operate. There are several that have stationary units. Charcoal gas or char gas is a great way to get your feet wet with gasification. Look for Gary Gilmore SImple fire, David and Brian, Matt Ryder chargas units. Again welcome to the wonderful world of gasification.

Welcome aboard Kent. Get your self some junk and build something. Make some gas. It don’t have to be pretty, no one here is going to kick it out of bed. A lot of us run stationary units. Not as exciting as the DOWers but it’s a good place to start.

Hello Mr. Smith and welcome to the DOW.
I would gladly trade you some of these tornadoes that are bouncing around here in Alabama for a little of your snow .
