Mr Steve, the automation piece is solved. That is how I ended up here. Yesterday I was at one of my clients workshop and showed the system to my daughter. Two years passed already that I build this. Super! Works ok, still after two years.
You talked about that Alaskan guy before. Can you give me some links?
Add moisture for pressing I know from my pellet period. But for burning? The drier the better?
Thanks.
Ha! Ha! Yes. Automatorās love their creations alright.
Modern automobiles have been going more and more electronic, servo-motor automated for the last 40 years.
How many can even diagnosis, let alone fix a malfunctioning modern auto H-VAC system, eh?
I have. I can. I just choose not to anymore for professional pay.
My newest, the 2017 GMC box-van has vacuum mode switching. Mode knob turn and hiss-change. See-Do. Listen-Do.
Nope sorry. I had no direct contact with the Alaska guy. He put up his stuff on a few youtubes. He only briefly participated in the one of the now defunct woodgas forums.
All gone bye-bye now except in once-was, memory. Others here did see this too.

Hi Steve , Mike .
Thanks for the videos , Iād seen both of these over the last couple of weeks.
I believe I read (somewhere in DOW) with the S-80 unit , operator will start it in a dry-ish sawdust , but once running , was having sawdust added on the go , of which , some sawdust was damp , and the gasifier didnāt mind it .
Steve , is it possible to look at some of this sites earlier downloads as listed at the beginning of this thread , under the first post ?
Fascinating stuff this gasification , still reading , still learning , the hamsters upstairs in my mind are frantically turning the āwheels of possibilities ā .
Cheers for the replyās and insights folks .
