This afternoon I took some time to make changes to the ignition distributor, I replaced the springs on the centrifugal regulator (I tested it with a cordless drill, which reaches 1600 rpm, the max deviation reaches about 1200 rpm) and added a screw for adjusting the vacuum regulator (the original has a small adjusting screw, but it has very little travel and is difficult to access, so it is not possible to make adjustments while driving).
I also did a test drive, the feelings are good, I get more power at higher rpm, it works well even at low rpm

Tone, I once asked Kristijan how many hours a day Slovenia has. We have only 24. I bet you have at least 48, or more. Impressive work you do.

Thank you JO, I havenāt done anything so impressive, I write and think too much, I donāt do enough. How true is the saying of wood gas users, which contains the number 75%,ā¦ I hope I have reduced this number a little, I donāt dare to state my current figures, because I donāt know what awaits me,ā¦

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 donāt make 10% of what you doā¦

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

Iāve been very busy lately, no time to ride Fergi, well, today he got some work in the field,ā¦ 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,ā¦

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 thatās what I thinkā¦

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 canāt believe how little wood is needed to do such a difficult job.

Tone, thatās exactly what Iāve 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.

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

Winterās short afternoon and long evening, ā¦ I found some time to check and clean the gas preparation intake system on the Fergi, ā¦
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,ā¦ I need to check the offer online,ā¦

An evening āwalkā 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).

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