Ken, There might be some unhappy people when they get tar in a interference engine, I agree gasification has moved on since the FEMA design, they only need to...
The greenhouse is a conventional GH dismantled from a local County Home. About 30' X 30' on top of 6' walls. We opted to not glaze the back of the GH (facing...
Hello Group; What will happen if the gasifier built for an IC engine is under sized,if you over draw will it still produce clean gas. From what I understand if...
Hi Ron, The gasifier I run on my truck would probably run perfect with somewhere between a 2.5 and 3 liter engine. The same size hearth ran pretty good with...
I located a web site www.Build a gasifier.com The site offers a lot of PDF files for a 10 dollar life time membership fee is it worth it or can all this type...
Hi Mark, Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free ? Could you post the actual link to the site so we can see who created it ? Thanks, Mike LaRosa...

Mark, If the link Craig provided is the one, my 2 cents is to forget it but I didn't dig too deep there. Anyone distributing the FEMA plans without a severe...
It looks like 20 people so far including 6 HAMs 3 of those are EXTRAS with complete band privileges so no part of the HAM bands will be restricted to anyone. A...
Ron, Correct for over sizing. If you over pull it(gasifier too small) you are likely to get clinker and the fuel will stop flowing. Stephen ... From:...
I recently built a gasifier sized to run 300cid at 2400RPMs using the same MEN spec charts as I did for my first unit a 223cid. While waiting to exchange the...
Ron, What did you do to clean the intake valve stems ?? How was the gas temperature at the gasifier outlet ? Did it seem high or low ? It seems odd that the...
Last Fall the chunks were about ten percent they were stored inside wo heat so they probably absorbed some moisture.I dont have a thermometer in the exhaust...
Hi Wood Gassers, I finally got to try out my new puff lid. It's SO(!!!) nice to not have to drop chunks into a piece of 4 inch pipe!! Here is my new rig: ...
Not fair, Wayne. Your system is capable of that. Mike L's is not...unless running both gasifiers gives it that oomph. For those who don't get the TLA's TLA =...
i don't think that this is a woodgas project. my guess is that it is just a wood fired steam turbine plant like most others. and why is it ok to leave the...
Hi Mike, His Detroit Diesel is a 2 stroke - wet crankcase diesel. It does not have intake valves per/se. The Detroit uses it's pistons to open and close ports...
I have fond memories of my 2-71, and not so fond memories of cleaning carbon out of the exhaust passages. Steve Spence Renewable energy and self sufficiency ...
Hi Ron, I know zero about diesels let alone a 6-71 so thanks for letting me know it is a 2 stroke and also that it has a supercharger. Wayne is still upset...
Hi Steve, I remmeber your carboning problems. Yea, I have a few of them around the shop. The 6-71 on my crusher is a bit tired. When we ran it it would pass...
Hi Mike, No problem on the Detroit stuff. They were popular as the 2 stroke operation produced significantly more power per cubic inch of displacement. Very...
I remember that well! My engine was set up for 1200 rpm, and with a 12.5 kw alternator, it never had to run hard, so carbon was a very big issue. That and I...
