From what I’m seeing in that diagram: 2 pipes enter into a primary baffle (which is “BEHIND” the tertiary baffle); the gas goes up through the heat-x/radiator pipes (center of the picture); the gas enters a secondary baffle at the top, which is “deeper” than the primary baffle and radiator pipes; the gas then flows down the tertiary baffle which is “in front of” the rest of the system; and then finally out through the third pipe.
Does that make sense?
Brian!
No, Nothing is behind anything else. Up in the center, down at left and right edges. The left bottom part is connected to the right bottom part with a horizontal regular cylindric tube, and the upstream passes around it on all sides. Then, down to a filter from the right bottom part.
The horizontal connecting tube gets a minimal reheating from the hotter upstream flow!
Theoretical playing…

High, Tom!
To my “designated” question: Still no camera, but putting it on the list of must have, with audio (WINDPROOF microphone)boom over the head; I dislike the miserable videos with walking around presenters and the camera on a stand or swinging wildly around, showing or focusing on everything else than the object of interest!
Yes, the Nissan Micra now with its 1,2 liter motor has almost equally many HP/ton as my Audi. ~93HP/1000Kg. (63 HP/640Kg). The Audi 103 HP/1010 Kg.
The drawing of the two “barrels” needs the measures of the Alibaba lids with hinges and attatching band around the barrels.
Diam. ~500 mm. Height 1300 mm for the barrels.

Tom,
Really simple. That old drawing just makes it look more complicated than it is.
OK While trying to figure out how to build this and drawing it up; I realized that there are 3 tubes on the bottom of the “radiator”. #1 takes the hot gas up to the center section of the radiator ( its position allows for the condensate in the center section to return to the “scrubber”). The #2 pipe is only to take the condensation from the two outside tubes back to the “scrubber”. In the end of the scrubber just after the gas deflector plates, is a perpendicular vertical plate that goes from the top of the scrubber to “almost” the bottom. The water prevents that gases from going past this patrician and yet allows the condensate to return to the “scrubber” water. The 3rd pipe only takes the “cooled” gas down to below the cork filter. I hope that is how it works.
Max Is the cooling size really all about horsepower ( which I find to be a very un- precise measure ) or is it about displacement and rpms? My V6 is just a little larger that a "42 Mercury in displacement. So “ruffly” shouldn’t I get away with about the same size “gas conditioner”?
I haven’t paid much attention to the scrubber.
Looking at the right hand cross-section drawing it seem to mee gas is diving under surface two times. Then only up through two parallell pipes. I think filter bottom had to be emptied for any additional condensate separately.
I’m hesitant to how effective this kind of scrubber/bubbler is. All I know is you will lose a couple of inches of vacum.
I am thinking of making a horisontal condensation tank also beeing the lower connector of the cooler pipes at the same time. Gas entering at an angle for some svirling action before travelling up the pipes.
Hi,Tom!
You should follow the tiny small arrows, which CLEARLY show the flow direction at every spot!
The end picture of the condense tank is taken from the right side of the vehicle.
You again see the small arrows showing gas input and output.
The two output tubes up to the cooler are “in line”, so you can see only one!
That is clear when you look at the “broadside” picture.
The gas comes into the condense tank in front of the “saddle” plates, and the two (2) tubes go up to the cooler behind (after passing the saddle).
The gas flow is “measured” by the motor displacement X RPM, as a pump.
…
To be more exact:
L X n X 3 = Net woodgas consumption/s with WOT.
L = displacement in liters
n = count of 1000 RPM
3 = factor sum of all input factors
…
Horsepower allows estimating when not knowing exact displacement and RPM.

Whoo Raa!!! Santa brought me a “lump of coal” to try in my gasifier. How did he know it was just what I deser— wanted.Tomc
Tom, I hope it was a hundred pound lump.
Merry Christmas. Bob
I had a problem with my computer so I got on the phone with a “tech”. She ran me all around on my computer imputing info and deleting others. In doing this, I came across this drawing. Frankly I don’t remember when or why I did it but I do give credit to Max, so I thought I would post it Besides I think John H was talking about driving in the cold.TomC
Hi tom i have two pickup truck loads of shinny coal, i was thinking on mixing some in with my soft wood just too add a few more coals, I think at full 100 percent coal it would run too hot? And then it might not be as clean as the wood burning is, cleaner than gasoline on the emissions.
I played with coal some but never feed it to an engine because my coal was on the acidic side and I thought the acid would be hard on the internals… 
Thanks Jeff davis,i have not thought of the acidic value, Thanks, good for backup fuel at least,and it wont degrade sitting around being the shinny coal,its a little too coal stinky too burn in the home heating unit with my close neybers,in this warmer weather.All though any fuel wood suffice in a fuel shortage event.
Hi Kevin, I think iron chips would take the acid out. Back in the 30’s they ran trucks on coal. I have so much wood that I didn’t need to try it.
He Guys. I have to admit I am beginning to have memory problems, so if my posts are duplicates forgive me.
I was going through some old “stuff” on my desk and came across a drawing that I don’t remember doing. It was back in 2014 and on a preliminary drawing I see I had written “Max” so I guess this was something Max had suggested. Quite often he tells us how to do something and in order for me to understand his description, I try drawing it out.
Now that I found this it looks like a good
I read through your entire thread yesterday looking for something I thought was there. So many interesting discussions. Today I don`t remember what I was looking for in the first place and I´m 30 years younger than you 
Who needs sketch up? You draw pretty good!
Max gives us some very good ideas, but I find it takes some work to understand his point throughly. Since I drew this back in 2014, Gary Gilmore has made us understand getting gas from charcoal, so now I think we can understand better what Max was describing.TomC
Hi, Tom!

Thanks for the nice statement, but in this example i am not present!
If the bands of small circles are chains hanging from the restriction plane down to the next (grate)plane, that grateplane would dangle like a church bell, on a vehicle in traffic!
What would then the lifetime of that “extra” airtube from the hearth double mantel be?
I am not the initiator of this idea!
Max
Tom, looking at the drawing it looks like air would be added after good gas was made passing the reduction zone. Adding air would burn up gas that was already made and create a furness affect burning up the gas, or adding air to the gas and passing through the system?
