You are correct about the heat being lost...but that is just a prototype to show that a turbine can run on wood. The guy that built it seems to have plans to run a generator to make electricity and heat could be recovered for space heating or water heating.

nasa style thermoelectric fins installed radially around the generator could crank out additional electriciy with no moving parts..also was the turbine being used to pressurize or suck air into the combustion chamber?

It's not my turbine, but I do know the springs act as a pressure relief valve in case the combustible wood gas and air mixed just right and created a explosion of sorts, then the lid would just lift a little and no harm done. Hope that helps.

Sorry for doing a bit of chat necromancy here, i just stumbled upon this today! Anyways: Is this essentially a wood gasifier feeding a gas turbine, or is the wood more directly integrated into the engine?

What a hoot! Now I've seen everything. I'd heard that you can run a turbine on almost anything, but wood? :D :D

i would think particulates from the wood combustion would destroy a 120,000rpm turbine in short order

Very clever!, was something i have been thinking about myself. Love to see a high tech version with full heat utilisation.

That is really cool. How long did it run on one loading of tank?

on the net there is quite a bit of info about gasification....they talk about a charcoal gasifier in the trunk of a car..to run the car...they have centrifical filtration of the gas to purify it before it goes to the engine..its really interesting....you can use a sawdust filter to purify the gas also....i'm going to build a gasifier...compress the gas in a tank...and use it to run an engine...maybe a small motorcycle.....

This is better than a gasifier.

I think you are misunderstand how this is working, there is not any fire under the chamber. The torch is just used to get the wood inside the tank burning, after that the only thing burning is the wood inside the chamber. The wood inside the chamber is the only fuel.

ARE particulates from the wood hard on the turbine?

On mine the turbine occasionally sputters when what sounds like a small particle is introduced to the exducer vanes. So far no damage has ovct

IT is one fairly simple way to convert wood to heat and power in remote areas where wood is the only fuel easily available... and yea I think it is fun too. To learn more about it, go to the inventors own web site. at nye . ca

@BadGasGoodWind Wood also isa good form of fuel If harnessed properly the upside is that we dont eat it the downside is there is a carbon foot print Solar is great but the down sides Costly to install and mantain the utility/hydro companys are only paying10% of what they charge and the township takes a good peice of that in taxes wind has the same problems and unless the Goverment starts helping with this we are going nowhere I do hear now in some country's there are som subsidy's which helps
