Woodgas Fuel Characteristics Inside an Internal Combustion Piston Engine

Good Morning All,
I am reposting a recent exchange between MichaelG., J.O., and Al Frick. Read this one #447 and the next two: #448 and #449:

What MichealG and Al F. are saying (as predicted) gasoline needs more air oxygen to get close to stochiometric complete burning then the three much simpler with less carbons chains, woodgas fuel gases.

And who predicted this? In books by actual math’s using chemists. Four of those books here in the DOW library.
Using mole mass calculations they also say diesel fuel needs MUCH more air-oxygen than can ever just be atmospheric pressure drawn into an IC engines cylinder. Why exhaust turbocharging diesel engines makes then wake up and come lively alive.

And in the above three post exchange J.O. with two different gasoline fuel injected four cylinder vehicles; says he observes different results, one system to the next.
Different systems factors always able to skew the results.

This also reinforced by Mark Cunninghams better results after he tweaked with the air into his diesel/chargas hybrid water pumping system:

And read Tone next comment there. He does use math’s. Acknowledges only real world using can account for all of the variable factors.

On any of these forums favor the actual users and their results over the endless speculators. No matter how well read, or other life chapters experienced they may be.
Make woodgas your own Endeavor. With you; your own Expert.
