Awesome work! Pine has a lot of tar and oils in it hence more orange flame, careful as it can clog up your genset. It would be very interesting to see your reactor running on charcoal! Charcoal is supposed to have the cleanest burn to give you a blue flame. Also adding a water drip to the grates will inject steam and produce more H2 as well. Would you be able to do a charcoal run and post your findings?

Great job. I have two questions? First, with one load of wood, how much time you have gas for generator? one hour, two hour? Second is how much power gives you generator when is connected to gasifier? 1000w, 2000w? Thank you again for great job and videos!

I would say one load of wood would be about an hour and a half to two hours depending on how big of a generator you’re using but you can always put my burning unit into a bigger 55 gallon barrel if you wanted. I read that you get about 60% of the power you would get from gas so if you had a 10,000 W generator you should get about 6000 W .

@clutchboi4038 look up gasgen channel before 1900 the Europeans been using gassifier they used stainless steel inlets and they don't last. If your running gasifier few hundreund hours a year... no problem... if you use as intended..fuel source for automotive or generating power 24x7 for months..it will not last the chrome get burn in the stainless and cracks.. Look up flash777 his heavy inlet melt all the time at 1200c. This item has to be serviceable...live and learn.

very nice jobe , Thank you very much , can you also provid information about the front view of the reator dimension please?

The top of the bowl looking piece is 10.75 inches and the bottom is about 8.65, but those dimensions are not critical. You could just use a straight pipe 11 or 12” in diameter . The 6 air inlets are critical. Make sure the height of the inlets to the bottom of the bowl are close to the blue print. Plus the 7.2” dimension from one end of the air inlet to the opposite side of an air inlet are also critical

I have been collecting parts for this gasifier for years now and I'm following Ben Peterson's book as well. Do you think the modifications you made from the books design is similar to assemble? Or was it just a matter of working with what you had? Can you show us the vacuum motor box and how it works, is it holding up to the task? Cheers from Australia

I tried to make it as simplistic as possible to make, and yes, also using things I had that were readily available. I think some of his design was more complicated than it needed to be, but Ben also has way more hours in than I have also. I did make my own vacuum motor and it works quite well. I was thinking of making a video on that if people were interested, so maybe I’ll start working on that. I did make a part 2 and 3 for building my Gasifier if you didn’t see that yet. Let me know if you have any more questions. I hope that helps.

I would probably use a 55 Gallon drum next time for the sake of more wood storage. The 55 gallon drums are also made of thicker steel.

@@toddreuschel yes I would be interested in seeing the blower and how you did it. I think the blower is one of the most expensive parts on the build and I will need to keep my cost down as much as I can. That being said I'm collecting parts all in stainless steel and have been very lucky on how little I have spent so far.
