So then perhaps what we need is an engine that can change compression ratio on the fly.

Lpg could be used instead of gasoline and so be able to keep the high compression for hybriding.

A more simple solution could be to just lower the boost from the supercharger when runing on gasoline.
Maybe 15psi on woodgas and 5psi on gasoline with a static compression of 9:1.

A “lost” topic good to bring back up.
Here:

I hope the repurposed 1.0 liter automobile engine is seen by many. So very smooth and quiet.
The DIY gasifer system has many relevant features. The size and configuration of the cyclone. The generous sizing of the gas flows piping. With wide sweeping turns.
Note that he does use an automotive thin walled intercooler as his gas cooler. I wonder how long that lasted for him?
The heard language? Nordic? Red buildings Swedish? Slavic? Anybody?

View and enjoy folks out there are getting systems up and running without all of the talk-talk-talking drama.

Pretty sure it’s Swedish, i can’t hear the speaking, but the text on the push buttons are for sure Swedish.
The intercooler looks stainless to me? Maybe a exhaust cooler from heavy equipments egr- system?
For sure the cyclone collector pot is a re-purposed pot from a “classical” scandinavian moonshine-still.

I can’t tell what’s said, but it sounds like a SmĂ„land dialect. Also, the stone wall suggests SmĂ„land. I’ll bet Jonas knows. Maybe it’s one of his early ashievments. Only, I seem to remember he used B18/B20 even back then.

Overhead camshaft. Would not that make it a B21?

Hey J.O. four of the posted above “Swedish” YouTube’s I do not recall ever seeing. Early 2020, I think that was when I got COVID for the first time. Brain was fried.
Ha! Ha! They all CC, then translate into English! But as you’ve said with only one kind’a good; to very poor translations. Nice to hear Johan Lindell speaking again.

This one on post 83/84 shows well the operating procedures of an old war-time true Imbert system; now owed and operated by an experienced true operator. Use black alder wood he says for the least soots:

You’re right, Steve. B21 or B23. At first glance I only noticed the red block and heard what I thought was rockerarm noice, but looking closer I noticed the tilted engine with its belt cover.

Alfa Laval says his electro box. That explaines the stainless piping too. Alfa is the dominating company in milkprocessing overhere. Big processing company from Sweden. In the US too?

Yes, big in the US also. From their website:

" DeLaval was founded in 1883 as AB Separator by Gustaf de Laval. A descendant of 17th century French émigrés, de Laval was born 1845 in Dalarna, Sweden."

You learn something new every day. I didn’t know Laval was from my county. Probably not related though. My ancestors, all the way from early 1600s, were all poor farmers from within a 5 miles radious :smile:

Hmmm. I’ve never seen this one:

Is this an early K.V.L. system? With a younger @k_vanlooken ??

Now that’s an interesting machine. I don’t recall him posting about it before. A hybrid. I remember him posting a gasified Harley once.
