    So, first of all, this looks like a marvelous machine!
    Secondly, this reminds me a lot of the process for producing wood-gas. You put all of the wood in a sealed can, you poke a hole at the top of the can and then you heat up the can. The wood releases gas that is flammable.
    Here, the principle is the same, but it is also filtered. Colin Furze tried to make a wood-gas powered lawnmower, but the components were getting clogged up with tar, while here the tar/ash is filter from the wood chips themselves! Ingenious!

      It's an updraft wood chip gasifier, which are usually plagued by carbon build-up from tar and charcoal that blocks upward gas flow. When burning coal, charcoal or very dry wood the tar build-up can be minimal, but its going to be an ongoing problem.The updraft system is a natural filter because the hot gases must pass through the unburned wood, but the same clogs the outward gas flow.
      A home built updraft gasifer might require daily manually breaking the hard mass. This automated design has a horizontal actuator to break up the charcoal and tar. It's nifty, but spendy.

  • @ardalla535
    @ardalla535 3 года назад +1

    More info is needed. The chips trap the pollutants, but those chips eventually get burned and release what they have trapped. Also, you have to haul in a bunch of wood chips and have them piled in your yard. Then you shovel them into a large hopper and put a lid on it. The hopper discharges into the feed system that goes into the boiler. What happens if those chips get rained on before you get shovel them? How does the average homeowner -- not to mention a person in an apartment -- deal with a large pile of wood chips. Then there's the expense of the whole operation and the price of the system. What's the break even time? Think of how much wood you need to warm your house for the winter. The average home needs 3 cords of wood. That's a LOT wood chips being delivered to your house each year. Wood is solid and dense. Chips are about half air and take up twice the space. Also, who delvers wood chips? Hardly anyone. You would have to find a supply near your home. Not just sawdust from a mill; you actually need chips. This system won't work with sawdust.

If we all burnt wood and planted trees, there would be zero net carbon released. They want you to believe that humans are the problem, all lies. Try pumping carbon dioxide into a greenhouse and see what happens, the plants grow. Btw, almost all the glaciers are growing, they are hiding this data because they can't explain it without disproving themselves.

    For the people complaining about the zero emissions claim, it can be said because the wood chips used are declared a carbon neutral fuel. The growing & sequestering of carbon cancels out the burning of the carbon. So the net emission is zero. The particle/soot emission is also so low it's negligible.

    You know what you guys need? Can I offer an idea?
    Here is an idea: you could design a MICRO-STEAM-TURBINE around this system.
    Heat from the ignition-area, creates steam and runs the steam-turbine. At the other end of the turbine, cold water cools off the steam, creating a suction, further increasing the efficiency of the steam-turbine. The cold water, now pre-heated, enters the GASIFIER's ignition-area, and produces more steam.
    > Cooled off steam (60-65 degrees), enter a hot-water storage tank. Any excess hot water enters a cooling-off tank, to preserve water.
    > The hot water can now be used for showers and heating the home!
    > The electricity is stored inside server-batteries and is used to run pumps and ignition system, for the entire home!
    A PERFECT ALL-IN-ONE SELF-SUFFICIENT SYSTEM.
    If you get to make this, it will be amazing to see and to buy it. It is then an completely self-sufficient, low maintenance unit, that is efficient and produces house electricity and hot water, for the whole house on demand. Will probably cost no more than $30 000, including the batteries.
    I believe this is what many households would want, after today's events. Have a good day!

    Great tech involves great maintenance costs.
    Drawbacks might be that if there is no electricity, there is no way to maintain burning process and other processes such as chip intake, ash removal etc..
    The machine has sophisticated elements that cost arm and a leg to change them when needed. Even simple parts such as ash removal plates have to be made with deadly precision which means you wont be able to order them at your local shop, you will have to buy it from the manufacturer.
    SMART means detectors, which cost a lot and tend to be weak points of many SMART operating machines. This also means that the chip quality has to be specified and strict, in order for the smart systems to work without interruption. A slightly deviation from the standards and the smart systems wont work properly.
    The technology is great, the zero emissions sounds nice, but the price and maintenance cost might not be appealing for everyone...

      A hybrid system could also use the wood gas to fuel a gasoline powered electricity generator.
      There are decent open source downdraft wood gasifiers, some published by the U.S. government, but no updraft gasifiers like this. The video is probably omitting critical details - how does it mechanically break-up the charcoal? The ongoing production of charcoal will plug up the system and require manual Intervention. The automated ash plate might be sufficient to enable the weight of the unburned material
      to drop the column above tge ember bed, but it's likely to form a hard bridge and choke the process.
      Well designed amateur built downdraft wood gasifers don't clog up as easily, but they produce greater ash and tar and are usually batch loaded.
