Jim, I inserted my comments. Greg, It is not fair to attack Jim. He is trying to lift woodgasification to a higher level, but still accessible for private...
... What I believe this is judging by looking at this guys hand is actually lamp black carbon which is produced by the decomposition of CO to CO2 that I've...
Jim and Greg, ????? I have to respectfully disagree with both of you.? Here's why.? Let's assume you run 100lbs of?ideal wood at 20% moisture.? That means I...
Hi Dave, I'm just going through my in-box and getting thourgh 100's of never read posts. In the case of heating your barns. I heat a number of large shop ...
Group, ????? I realized I made a math error on the 20% atmospheric O2.? Here is the correction.? Nothing?really changed after rounding.? The?O2 displaced by...
Mike, The bag idea was to come up with some DIY way to calibrate a DIY flow meter, not to use regularly. It certainly would NOT be a matter of proving anything...
Al, Keep tinkerin and thinkerin. Thanks, Mike ... off so ... change ... call me ... standard ... well? If ... Just some ... running at 2000 ... whatever. ... ...
... sorry for not responding. the innertubes went down in the house yesterday. yes, the hole to the right side of the reactor is the hopper. the square hole...
... yes, this is the point. to date these fully zone separated processes, with multi pathway heat recovery, have only been realized on the industrial scale....
I've been following this thread, but have to admit I'm pretty much totally confused. What exactly is it that's trying to be figured out? Is everyone on the...
very interesting stephen. progress is being made. i encourage you to go put this in the wiki area so we don't lose it. www.gekgasifier.pbwiki.com. create...
Thanks Jim, One thing about living in a colder region is I notice quite a variation in how much condensate that I see. The rate of condensation needs to be...
... totally confused. TJ, You are not confused at all. You may experience it so, but that is because you almost got it. Just think backwards: the reduction...
Good Evening Gas Folks: ????? As promised, I built and tested my orifice flow meter rig.? It might be a little restrictive.? 2" to 1.25" to 2" might be better...
Hello DJ, I think I'm seeing a little light. So it's not the diameter or length of the reduction tube that needs to be reduced, but actually the diameter of...
as usual, bless you stephen. this is a tremendously useful thing, implemented with utter simplicity. i look forward to you documenting other sizes and rates....
Let me take it a little further and if I'm getting too far off let me know. I think the gas outlet hole should be made to vary in size like the iris on a...
Jim, ???? Actually I need to rephrase "Pressure Drop".? That is the pressure differential between the high and low speed flow regions.? When the gas...
yes, you made a venturi meter, not an oriface restriction meter. the thing i described previously was trying to do a restriction meter out of screw together...
HEY GREG ,,,i respectfully and gently have to agree with DJ,,,we are all, with good nature,,out here junk yard hopping,welding,,and banging around,,trying to...
Woke up with gasifier ideas running through my head and couldn't go back to sleep, gotta go to work too dammit. So browsing on the computer for a bit. Here's a...
Hi Terry, Have a good new year! ... I think this is confused. If you reduce the gas-exit hole's area, you will only get a pressure increase on the outside of...
... Just as important, but difficult to use waste heat for that, because it is normally above the heat radiating oxidation zone. The old WW2 imbert used a bin,...
... me know. I think the gas outlet hole should be made to vary in size like the iris on a camera which would not be too hard to do since it is outside of the...
... back to sleep, gotta go to work too dammit. So browsing on the computer for a bit. Here's a link explaining how the DTU model works and where to download...
