I work at a molding shop. All the wood goes through a gang rip saw before it gets to the molder. We probably have well over a ton of scraps each week. If I did this, I'd never have to pay for gas again. I could probably power my house on that wood.

Hello noelsingletary, Hey thanks for the post. I agree with you on most of the items, I could use a lot more education. You characterize the steel pretty good; actually at about at about 1400 degrees the steel will start scaling. If we bring the temperatures on up to apx 1800 degrees this is when the scales will be shedding. At about 2200 degrees would be where I would think the mild steel would start to melt. If we happen to have wrought we can go some higher. Thanks Wayne

@Nigel Cam : 8% is what kind of energy? I checked a random website. This one is about wind power. www.sciencedaily.com/terms/wind_power.htm "At the end of 2006, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 73.9 gigawatts; although it currently produces just over 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for approximately 20% of electricity use in Denmark, 9% in Spain, and 7% in Germany.Globally, wind power generation more than quadrupled between 2000 and 2006." "Worse, fracturing the sources does not allow for economies of scale in infrastructure." ==I don't know much about the economics behind it but I imagine it goes something like this: 1. The government wants to implement some form of technology. 2. They don't have their own engineers so they call upon various private companies to submit their proposals. 3. The government picks the cheapest one. 4. When they implement the technology in question, there will be a need for support. Someone has to maintain, replace parts, etc. 1. Another alternative is that the government owns the power company and hires their own engineers. 2. This would allow them to own all patents, build their own companies for making parts. This would probably be cheaper than the previous steps 1 to 4 I listed. In any case, there is no choice. Petrol and coal won't last forever.

@Dane Aulabaugh I don’t know where you are getting your information from. Solar panels are not made from fiber glass. They are made of nearly pure silicon. There are 2 types. There is the single crystal type and polycrystalline type. You don’t need petrol. An electric arc furnace is used to convert SiO2 to Si and SiC. The source of power is electricity which could come from hydro or anything else. Fusion power is not ready yet. Petrol and coal are finite because nature is not producing any new sources or at least not at a fast enough rate. That’s what finite means. Solar, hydro, wind are very large sources. There is so much joules there. Way more than humans can use and it keeps on coming.

Now I understand the desire or even the "need!" for some people to have to have plans to be able to build anything, but for what it's worth, I watched the video, listened to him explain how it works, what each component does, how it's routed, and what a lot of it is made out of. I also watched the video and can clearly see the size and estimate lengths of almost everything taken from the scale of a common pickup truck, for the bits he didn't call out size for. Drums explain themselves as they only come on a handful of sizes. I am not being sarcastic, and I apologize to anyone if it comes off this way, I did not mean for that. I however AM encouraging people to do a little work for themselves, and discover some improvements they can make along the way as well as learn so much more. This is NOT rocket science it's operated on the very basic principles of thermodynamics. Now, if you are not that handy, and need to have the plans, if you absolutely must, I would be willing to help draft up some with materials, to get you very close to what he has on his rig, including a better pic chip computer controlled automatic fuel controller to keep your mixture dead on and the stock computer happy, and eliminate all the manual valves. The manual valves are very easy to operate and make though, and for the most part they would still be there, and could be make to have bypass manual control built in in the event of an electronic failure. However if a nuke is detonated kiss all those electronic anythings goodbye anyways LOL, it'd be se how long we can survive in our underground fallout shelters till we starve :p Cheers my friends, IC.

excellent video and information. This info must be spread to many. My wind turbine shop is small, and off grid. for the heavier electrical tool, I need to run the generator. From what i have gathered around several videos, creating the wood gas is easy. It's the filtering that makes the best difference. The temp, cooling for dew temps, and the final extraction of the rest of the moisture means the difference of tar, and a dry efficient burn that has no tar buildup. That and regular cleaning of the radiator, or heat exchange system. That pretty much means a nice long travel through decent diameter pipes, and dryers. I'm betting that air filters have to be changed often as well. I still have questions like, " how big of a system do i need to run my 10KW genny for welding all day? ". Thanks very much. MUDDy

If this wood gas system runs over 200HP engine, it mean it can generate way over 100KW (as 10kW generator runs on 12-13hp engine) which can run 7-8 households, and exhaust the CO2 into green house in back yard. Can annoyingly fast growing bamboos produce wood gas like other wood? This wood gas seems to act just like natural gas, then if I build giant gasifier with reinforced concrete I can heat house, generate electricity and fuel car from wood? I can pack the gas in tank as I need and generate the gas as it runout, so I don't have to watch the fire all the time. This is amazing. Thank you very much for sharing! So..

What do you mean when the temperature gets down to the dew point? Besides the moisture in the wood some of that water is coming from the combustion itself you know carbon dioxide CO2 and water H20 are the products. Good idea to use the ashes as fertilizer no waste at all.

So can you run a diesel engine on wood? What makes me ask is I thought the diesel provided a lubricant the the cylenders.

i don't think it's a diesel, in the US trucks run on gasoline and only gasoline can be run on CO. Diesels on the other hand can be run on Methane or Bio-gas.

They do exist, I have seen a few great examples running very efficiently and inexpensively. There are many companies that will make and sell you turnkey generators but they are not cheap. build one yourself if you are not loaded. Reason the power industry is not promoting these is simple business and economics; They wont make money off of customers every month if these were running, would they? Plus if everyone had one, they would need acres of trees to be 100% independent. Few have the land

You dont need wood. Anything can be burned. Such as cannabis. But the byproduct of building furniture and homes, many other things out of wood is wood waste. Usually burned or discarded rather than made into an efficient fuel

This is excellent. I'm a big fan of alternative energy - especially if it cuts out the big corporations from the picture. I'll be building and installing a solar water heater this summer. Would love to run the car on biofuel, too. Well done, Wayne.
