Some of my own Victory Model hearth pictures buried back here.
Protoptype 5 jet unit. Production unit had a larger internal diameter then needing to use 6 jets.
So that “jets must not be across from each other” . . . utter bullshit. So says Mike LaRosa, and many others now.
Also the production Victory Model hearth had the above jets joint flange move UP ~4 inches/100mm. When hard pulled like with the 240CID (5.0L I-6) Ford Onan generator this too close to jets joint would burn out it’s gasket seal.
Look carefully for the pencil eraser sitting on top of the center-up injection jet. Still a side jetted unit. This center-add was it’s last experimental rendition. BenP and John-John (in the last link picture) flowed in all kinds of gasses. Some of the first gasifed waste plastics were injected here. Not me. I’m 100% tree woods.
The crusty appearance is the inner KaWool exposed once the sacrificial inner combustion shaper tube is pulled out. This described, and new pictured in a post farther down.
This unit also had a second SS enclosed outer KaWool wrap. Still loosing heat said Shop pain-in-the-ass, me.
A third whole outer system insulation wrap then applied. The Optional “performance upgrade” in the book plans unit.
You can scroll up and down in this exchange for other been used hard pictures. Since all of the off-site link are dead now you’d have to read all of my comments for facts and figures and system names in my wording.
So see new DOW guys.
I ain’t no shy woodgas vergin. Or jabber mouthed wanna’be. Sheesh. I cannot even get that word to spell check. Long lost near 50+ years ago.
