Tone, you are way ahead of us others.
I also wonder how many hours a day Slovenia has?
Even that i know the secret to work 25 hours a day, i don’t make 10% of what you do…

It’s not how many hours there are in a day. It’s how many minutes there are in a hour and I think that’s variable according to age. My hours are about 15 minutes long now unless they come between 2 and 4 am while I’m laying in bed staring at the ceiling.

I’ve been very busy lately, no time to ride Fergi, well, today he got some work in the field,… I almost forgot what a pleasure it is to ride on wood gas. After I made the settings on the ignition regulator, it works like a song,…

I have a few fields that I cultivate in a crop rotation, that way the soil can breathe and pests can leave the area, well, weeds and grass need to be mulched to enrich the soil with nutrients, at least that’s what I think…

The hard work was done by Fergi today, transporting the excavator to the location where I had deposited the sand, and then 5 heavy loads of sand uphill, approximately 15 m3, I still can’t believe how little wood is needed to do such a difficult job.

Tone, that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. I remember before woodgas I was dreaming - what if a basket of wood (15-20kg) could take me into town (15-20km). To my surprice I noticed half of it takes me there - and back.
My hoppers sometimes last 1.5h puttering around home in the woods. Only a couple times a year, on longer open road trips, they last sligtly less than an hour and I could wish for more. But I can live with that.

Jo, Goran, Wayne, Giorgio and Bronlin shared videos and pictures of driving and working on wood gas, but I would also like to join you…

I love the ride with you Tone on the tractor, DOW through the trees and up the steep grade. Great video. More videos when you have time to make one.

And with your newer now recorder audio Tone you can convey the rich sound of a heavily loaded engine. Not something that can be appreciated in just math-johnny numbers.
Woodgas - the torque making fuel.
Your overcoming that wheel spin pulling the load up the wet slope track shows your experience, skill and determination.
Best regards

Winter’s short afternoon and long evening, … I found some time to check and clean the gas preparation intake system on the Fergi, …
Everything was pretty clean, here you can see some black deposits and traces of oil, because I often spray oil into the intake pipe with a compressor gun before starting, and the engine breather is also installed in the intake line, so the oil vapors also lubricate the system.
some spare parts,… I need to check the offer online,…

I’ve been neglecting this topic for a while, I’m afraid Fegie won’t be so bad…
An evening “walk” through the woods, this is a place where we both feel at home.

Yesterday I drove through the local hilly roads, I went to my brother Lojze to get a jaw crusher for rocks (it weighs 4 tons). The gas is very strong, during the trip I slightly reduced the pre-ignition time, because detonations were felt. Due to the large expansion of the gases, it is necessary to add air past the gas mixer, the problem is especially when I suddenly reduce the gas, positive pressure occurs in the gasifier. I decided to slightly modify the gas mixer, so that I will increase the cross-section of the air intake openings and insert a stronger spring for the moving element, because now the positive pressure overcomes the force of the spring, if this does not help, I will install a light flap on the chimney at the top of the gasifier, which the positive pressure can open and relieve the excessive pressure.
(I started reducing those 75% of the unknown).

I’m adding a comment so you can further discuss your fergie.

Thanks Sean, I made a “small” change before starting today,… the gas circulation holes in the upper part,…
You can see the dividing line where the intense exhaust heating works.

Tone,
Wow! Your new system is truly working great!

Okay, so now the hot exhaust goes around the upper hopper area chamber wall and out the exhaust pipe to the atmoisphere and also through the slot opening into the hopper and the hot gases cooks the wood down. Any positive pressure in the hopper gasifier can now go out these slots and out the exhaust pipe also while the engine is still running? What about all the tary gooye smokey stuff going back into the exhaust system?

Bob, the exhaust gases only heat the lower part of the wood storage tank above the hot zone, the upper part is water-cooled, where the moist pyrolysis gases circulate and dry.

Oh yes sorry, I mean the lower part of the hopper wood area. So the hot exhaust flows out on and around the wood when there is a negative flow in the hopper and down through the firetube correct?
