Good Morning TomC, I have for years put up my own owned systems. Remember the DOW-drupal? I had seven pages of pictures there. 7x8 pictures if I remember, right? Theses are some where. I have some PC skills but with limits. I will again pull forward and re-post here what I can dig out: > [@Longest Stationary Gasifier Run?](https://forum.driveonwood.com/t/longest-stationary-run/680/7): > > Hi back PeteS I just took a skim of your website. Good. Good. You have the treewoods. Blacksmithing back ground (origins of all woodgasing). And the engines in your Onans. Let me expand a bit on my eextended run electrical generating expereinces on woodgas. Gasifer I picture below (my primary unit for now) HAS 2000 watt electrical output gen-set loaded engine fuel the next pictured gen-set for hours at a time. 2 hour runs were the easiest. The tall hopper pictured was set up to do this for ~8… My actually gasifer as given to me by Ben Peterson for all of the shop help work I’d done 2009-10. Pictured on my own property next the the better of the 'Ol Red Fords. It is the original Victory model developers hearth in it’s last bio-char making set up. Was requested set-up system to be sold. The buyer turned; out had no money. I do not bio-char. I do have the nice added centered up jet lower; the auger out feeder; and hot air-tight catch can. All lusciously SS adaptable to what I do; do. Chunked woods. The hopper as I got it is plain Jane simple non-monorating. I am still looking for the produced gas chip bin dryer with lower sweeper settlement. Dry, dry the wood and put in dry&warmed j-i-t then no need to monorate. In this picture set is my own bought owned Rediline motor-generators. Battery banked 12VDC → 120VAC. Also my own bought owned Canadian ordinal 2.5 kW Trace 12vdc → 120VAC inverter. The red B&S 5500 watt red gen-set was the Vancouver Victory gasworks shop. The different build up and tried removed carburetor gas/air mixers mine. I still have all of these. And more. Still searching for other pictures. > [@Wood Chip Classification and Use](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/wood-chip-classification-and-use/756/3): > > Hi PeteS. Again excellant wood chip info you have put up. I hope many read your important real world practical information. My first two pictures show the tools I use to sort out the accumulated woody debris from under the woodsplitter. Left to right they are a silage/ensilage fork, a spading fork and a five tine pitch fork. This wood feather/wood whisker trash has a high amount of dried pitch resin in it. Righthand pile will be used in the woodstove as fire starter. Center pile as mud abatem… explanations in the text. > [@Ben Peterson's new Gasifier Plans?](https://forum.driveonwood.com/t/ben-petersons-new-gasifer-plans/1306/10): > > Morning All This BensGift book built plans gasifier system is a DO-IT-YOURSELF plans-set intended to be ran on WOOD fuel unit. DYI intneded is why the “wet” hay-straw filter versus a “hot” exotic material filter. Says these things right in the title. WOOD. BUILDERS. Just like GEK really does mean Gasifier (all bio-fuels) EXPERIMENTERS Kit. Both of these really do have honesty in presentations. Now IF YOU try and read more into their presentations that is on you impressing/misrepresenting yo… my one excellent been used much suction blower fan. And I have 10 can be made up 20% duty cycle motor and turbine wheels. Picture IN MY HOUSE. My hearth guts on post #14. Pictured in my shop building by the J.D-Yanmar. Post #26 by Brit has my actually owned hearth center in an earlier used set up. > [@Victory Hotwatt on Craigslist](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/victory-hotwatt-on-craigslist/2297/8): > > From the seller: I am the original owner, I just never got around to hooking it up and firing it up. My plans were to get a cabin in a remote location and have a small off-grid dwelling. But, my family and I have since moved. I could make arrangements for shipping, but I’ll need to get some details and figure out how to get it packed. Also included are some pics that are probably in better quality than what is on the craigslist post. Victory Gasworks gave me the attached PDF, then gave me ac… Not my pictures sets. These are JasonMcB’s. The last showing the hot-gas-to-water(heating) tower I’d tried to describe on an recent topic. I put a lot of engine running time on the prototype system for this one. Jason of course got a new production unit. Still looking for the chip bin dryer gas cooler gas sweeping settlement assembly picture. I did just recently put it up too. [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/5308/5703790867_b0b22e768d_b.jpg "Gasifier workshop") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/60657277@N03/5703790867/in/photostream/) Mine is the original two generations earlier saved from the scraping to keep it features confidential. My point have become in these last four years; is that ANY Real gasifer Operator can make nearly any combinations of system components work good’nuff. Ever come a real need. What to endlessly pursue is the operators skills. Not hardware solutions. Now here is the deal. Jahee and JoepK. just put up today that they’d both had engine-generators stolen from them. I live at the edge of a six hundred household Rural town (village). Now up to 100 true rural household living on three dead end roads past us. The only gasoline, the only store, the bank, the school, the post office are in this town. lot’o driving, walking, bicycling past our house now. Our old house is set road close, the old way. Our out buildings from the road visible, behind. Any gas can will get stolen. Any visible chainsaw will get stolen. Any known generator set, two man-packable; will get stolen. A bright and shiny metals, anything, will get stolen. Meth addictions. Opiates addictions. Indian gambling addictions are terrible, terrible diseases. We community have all three. Just do not give them reason. Then all is quiet and peaceful. So my gasifier system is disassemble pieces spread-out across three-four buildings. Just like my tool boxes and tools. Get one piece maybe past the locked gates and fences. Past the barking dogs, maybe. You cannot even find to see to get enough to put me incapable. So I am tiring of this “show-me” “you must” no matter how politely phrased. Especially when I have been for years. Again. And again. And again. I only get asked to see, and experience other folks systems because I have established I DO NOT Take pictures. I do not blab talk. About their systems. Where they live. Their chosen lifestyles. And these are the folks important to me. They Wood, because they can. They Wood, because they must. They Wood, because they aint got any other way.
