Have no hard feelings, Mike, ready to let it go. One thing about the yurt, they are considerably more than a tent, in my mind. Don't want to start arguing...
Hi George, I almost missed your question skimming past the off topic debates. If I read your design properly the secondary air is not being preheated first....
Greetings Everyone, Time flies when one is busy.... I have not updated my website since April, so with that thought in mind, I did an update, it's currently...
... Ok, I was thinking more the 'ole venturi and high pressure air- your's is a lot simpler and uses less HP air, but is a lot less efficient. You should be...
Laren Corie suggested that you might have some advice. I've had, what I call a community service compost site on the farm for l3 years, open every day, dawn...
Art, sorry for getting defensive. I've been in situations with the wife I have now ( #2 ) while remodeling the home we are in now that she would care not to...

Jerry, The general equation for power is as given by another wood gas member earlier today was basicaly that The frontal area to wind squared X wind speed...
Sorry to interject in your thread but wanted to let you know that I have a setup with a "listeroid". I bought mine as just an engine and generator and had to...
"wootres4"; <chriswootres@...> ... Hi Chris; The Garlinton stove uses no preheating of the secondary air. Dave Cahoon (hopefully he will ring in) seemed to...
... Hi Arthur; I suspect that it would be possible for someone to gather a group, via YahooGroups, to get together a small number of yurters on BLM land for a...
Richard, Lack of wind is no problem in the corn desert, today it is 20-30 mph, a normal day. At $300 apiece I can make as many as I need to get enough power. I...
Jerry, Great stuff and good luck. One thing i wanted to also mention wa the you need to pay close attention to static and dynamic balancing.teh static part is...
This is a very interesting idea, I would very much like to see a "whol wood" gasifier work. What I see people building uses small pieces, chips, pellets etc. ...
Richard, Thank you. I will take that in to consideration. I hope that wheel weights might be enough to offset any balance problems. Jerry. on 11/1/05 2:34 PM,...
i am interested in the survivalist possibilities with woodgas. My property is covered with trees. wood is plentiful. My concern also is that it would take more...
... I think that the sentence "The Savonius' power output is relatively low (about 1 2 hp), but so is the initial investment for its construction (about $250...
Even a half HP is well worth the price of the unit. Just need more units. ... I think that the sentence "The Savonius' power output is relatively low (about 1...
I appreciate both your insights, and knowledge. I wonder why can't I light the gas coming out the top with a blow torch? Also, why can't light the gas by...
"George Clay" <gbclayjr@...> ... Hi George; Does it burn alright without the stovepipe? Perhaps, you may need to start with a short one, then extend it ...
My own feeling is that it depends on whether you are trying to burn pyrolysis gas and smoke directly, or gas that has been through a hot bed of coals and been...
Greg, et al., This is ironic: We revert back to burning logs and gassifying them. I do not know whether they would give the depth of bed or the surface area...
Hi Laren, I went looking for Tom Reeds white papers last night to re read them but was a little ill and ran out of concentration. I never doubt your...
George, I would suggest the chimney stack is drawing too much air and changing something. When I put a simple six inch reducer on a good burning MIDGE I get...
Chris, George I have looked at this design and there seems to be 2. In his Files, Folder, the first picture shows the flame at the top of the tube. I do not...
Dick, I am sitting in my toasty warm 700 square foot cabin 7,000' high in the mountains of Central Nevada typing this post. My developing woodgas space heater...
The attraction to gasifying bigger wood is to reduce the pre consumption preparation, which is in itself energy consuming. Greater gains may be available by ...
