I am still in the first experimenting phase here, i will need to find out the best way to “use” the exhaust gasses heat in the process.
I want to make a “simple” build and do the “tweaking” step by step in de sub sequential learning process.

I need to ad / mix the extra heat needed and learn how to do that the most efficient way.
The pulse effect from the exhaust might be helpful to keep the charcoal “stirred up” either with positive or negative results.

So my first approach is, to make a “mixer” for the exhaust / HHO and connect that with the reactor.
The HHO will reach 2900°C, need to bring it down to 1300°C or below ashmelting temperature at all times

Exhaust gasses and pre-heating

In this first step, i want to proof myself that it can be done.
If you can teach me how to make a device, simple construction, to produce H3O with ionized steam, i would be happy to build it
The HHO i produce now is easy to understand and the energy balance well known.

Building it and making it work is the goal.

To be able to produce a large amount of hydrogen for sub sequential FT process, the high temperature is needed.
Superheating steam also takes a large amount of energy.
Controling would not be the easiest part.

As indicated, i wil start with the easy system and work from the obtained results.
Who knows, i might try yours so fast, if i don’t get the results i expected with my setup.

But the game is on, now i build and test. (After i am back from Bangkok)

Congrats, it looks good.
How to extract the gas for the IC engine ?

How to extract the fuel gas from your shown reactor ?

it looks like an updraft Drizzler with an extra Plasma generator?

Yep, there is the difference, we need the gas for the IC engines

I m not sure if i fully understand your system, would the single stage charcoal not produce a much richer gas now as it is ?
Because a second air intake and a second burn will change the efficiency a lot in the overall calculation.
Not even sure that a partial combustion can bring the temperature high enough for the reduction-catalactic effect on the iron plate.
And then the carbon from that plate will rapidly burn away in the process ( C+ Co2 = 2CO) but that is when i asume combustion for generating Co and not for generating CH4.

The smoke and color from the flame are indeed due to the quality of rhe charcoal and the not so perfect gasifier.
But… their engine did start and i am confident that they will be able to improve themselves in the future.

Your design needs what temperature at the iro disk to be the most effective ? and what pressure ?
