Thanks Joe - i have watched all of Flashes' Videos so i really appreciated the commentary in yours on t he differences between the two designs. Very helpful.
Really nice build. I didn't expect this. All of you guy's have taken my basic build and polished it up really good. If you don't mind I would like to put this up on the website. I seen you used an ammo can for the clean out port. Yeah I can see how that would really simplify life in general. Anyhow, I'll be looking forward to a gasifier start-up video along with the engine up and running too.
Flash its joe thanks for the comment on my woodgasifier honestly I couldn't have done it with out your expertise and videos buddy, it was fun to build. by all means if you want to share my video on your website its the least I can do man. until then buddy im off to do some tests with this beast and make another video soon before the real Canadian winter comes and freezes everything. ;)
Terry Lasiter Hi Terry its joe im using a bilge blower its from iboats.com 3inch 12vdc www.iboats.com/Flex-Mount-Blower-3-12v-Dc-105-Cfm-Itt-Jabsco/dm/cart_id.006351094--session_id.133271184--view_id.67867 hope this helps. ; )
Looks beautiful. At the end of the day we are producing the most useful appliance for a homestead. Many offer some very intuitive ideas, flash001USA is certainly one of them, but you are both putting imagination and action together to come up with some very nice design ideas. Three Cheers
Love what you are doing with the system. I have a million dollar question for you. Do you think it is possible to use a chamber to create bio-char ? I was also hoping when I do mine to incorporate 2 gas lines, one for generator and the other for feeding gas appliances. Thinking also of running some feet of copper for heating water. For me this gasifier is a game changer, no matter where you live can use one. Keep up the good work, look forward to hearing from you.
@@Don-sx5xv sorry for not getting back to you sooner. bio char maybe but the area being super heated is very little and creating char would very or if at all non existent. Don’t get me wrong you can still try and experiment. The problem with these gasification processes is if it is not hot enough produce a lot of tar in the system. Cleaning is the main problem and explosion risks are very high due to oxygen still present in the gas mixture. If you do run pipes clean the gas beforehand but the risks of your pipes exploding with a flash back may happen. It can be very dangerous. Mainly the gas is used for a engine generator. Interestingly when I did my experiments the BTU of the gas is very low. When I ran my engine for about 20 min the engine was warm to the touch but not extremely hot. Not sure if this was the wood I had at the time but was very interesting to see. If you make gasification I’m curious if you use the gas to heat up for cooking if it does get very hot for you. All the best
@@Don-sx5xv also Don I forgot to mention if I did this again i would personally use hydrogen made with solar panels, instead of wood gas which is more cleaner gas meaning no tar to clean up 👍.
@@Josefppaz Josef you are absolutely correct here, plus it sounds like you speak from experience regarding explosive rating. imagine HHO and the Sun being a savior for the energy sector. I am of the Parallel Society, sustainable group. The next weapons of attack will be food and energy. I believe that the current empire is crumbling, I am no longer a willing participant in there plot, anything that I can do to not support Mega works perfect for me. I hope to see some updates on your channel soon on HHO, in the mean time I will get to work and keep you posted. Hope to have everything in place by winter.
Wow thanks for the compliment Billy. I’m sad to say I don’t have the machine anymore. Mainly this was a test rig to see how it works. I’ve used lots of information from RUclips in building these gasifiers. I’ve talked with Flash001usa named Mike he has some great videos too on RUclips. As you might know these things get dirty and are hard to clean. Even with mine there where issues but it worked very well. I find using antifreeze for filter instead of saw dust really did a great job in cleaning the gas and with no clogs in the machine. Some time Bill I plan to make another one way smaller. The trick is to heat the air before it gets into the machine. I find the more hot the less chance of the annoying tar build up . This was a fun experience. Will I Ever build another machine maybe yes but I would need to look at ways to get rid of that tar and moisture, or less of it. The machine I had was a great start but like everything there was lots of improvements to be made, and I had no plans just put it together what came to mind. Thanks for liking the video cheers 🍻
Mostly talked with Mike ( Flash001USA) he used a small wheel rim mixture of concrete and sand on one of his videos that I followed. The container inside the 55 gallon drum is a portable air tank I got cheep from princess auto in Canada. In the USA would be harbour freight . Cut the top off for the lid and that’s about it. At the time I didn’t have a slip role machine so I had to use air tanks :)
@@Josefppaz Thanks,. I understand the basics,. Im wondering how most of these dont jam up if wood chips get funneled into the burn area,. Anything i see seems to be a funnel. Just trying to verify . Had some thoughts using a brake drum since they can ve had cheap
@@laserfalcon that’s for sure. Jamming up can be a problem. Usually the shaker grate would help this a lot with the vibration on the unite. I know that people have used a little dc motor and put a weight on the shaft to have that vibration effect. Most of the time that area with the funnel really acts kinda like a blow torch creating a supper hot spot. The more hotter the better the result and less of that sticky tar.
Sorry bud I don’t have any drawings. This was more of a learning experience. Next guy I would look into is Flash001USA he’s got some good wood gas material to follow. Thanks for the compliment 👍
@@Josefppaz Thanks for the reply, yes ive seen his videos. He is a whiz at this for sure. No problem with no drawings. Much appreciated for the video none the less. 👍
Good video. Maybe an idea to mount the engine close to the shaker and place a steel link from the engine base to the shaker handle. The engine vibration will do all the shaking, maybe too much.
I think the best method is cover the wood your going to use. Any moisture will create more tar in the system. Dried out wood is the best. I think that’s what your asking
@@Josefppaz ok nice. final question. Diesel generator do not use carburetor, how do I connect this to it? Already built one that is working on my fuel generator but not sure how to use it on diesel engine.
@@ellooku interesting not sure how it would work with a glow plug or compression to ignite the gas. The concern I would have is usually there is a lubricant in the diesel fuel unlike gasoline engines. Good question. As for a carburetor I just used 2 ball valves interconnected to one line which made mine work
Nice work mate! I couldn’t quite hear what you said the second blower was can you please comment. Iv been thinking of the silica gel also to take out the moisture, kitty litter is the same thing and a lot cheaper if your still doing this. Is there a way to make the ignition automatic? I was thinking of making this for my mum and need it to be as user friendly as possible, so an auto ignition would be a great start. Pardon the pun.
Robert Poynton Thanks man . The second motor is the same model as the first called a bilge blower. So the first blower is the primary when I start the machine up, when you see the smoke can be ignited then I turn that blower off and close the valve and turn on the second blower
That's far too neat and tidy. Are you really sure you want to fire it up and get it dirty? Great work, and very nice build. You shall soon become a woodgas addict like the rest of us ;) .
Believe me its a lot dirtier now lol. I have had some bad luck using wood pellets clogged the system up and made some tar. Its amazing how a little tar and soot can clog up the whole system. ive got a lot of cleaning up to do. im going to make a video on how dirty this is. Cheers
***** Oops! With a bit of practice, I think you'll pick up on those tar problems before they get a chance to foul up your system. I tarred up my first gasser, and also damaged the engine, so I have a pretty good idea of how dirty yours has recently become :) . In time, you will discover an easy way to start your gasser up, and get it hot enough for a clean run. Once you get familiar with it, the process will seem so simple that you won't even have to think about it during subsequent runs. Looking forward to seeing the "dirty movie" you are planning to make with this gasser ;) .

Can you guys give me details on the blowers you are using on your builds?

awesome rigg.. especially the ammo can as the clean-out
Power Gear thanks bud
Power Gear thanks bud
Gave me some helpful tips.
Can you provide build plans of your set up ...I like this one design the most ...actually what would you charge to build one for me .

Wow! looks great. But it seems like its over kill. Thanks for sharing.
Mainly for experimental purposes but thanks for watching
How did you build the burn pot?
Mostly talked with Mike ( Flash001USA) he used a small wheel rim mixture of concrete and sand on one of his videos that I followed. The container inside the 55 gallon drum is a portable air tank I got cheep from princess auto in Canada. In the USA would be harbour freight . Cut the top off for the lid and that’s about it. At the time I didn’t have a slip role machine so I had to use air tanks :)
What was the total cost of this unit?
think it was about 1300
Do you have any detail on burn pot?
The best advice I can give is watch Flash001USA. His videos is what I followed and used mostly bud.
@@Josefppaz Thanks,. I understand the basics,. Im wondering how most of these dont jam up if wood chips get funneled into the burn area,. Anything i see seems to be a funnel. Just trying to verify . Had some thoughts using a brake drum since they can ve had cheap

@@laserfalcon my pleasure any other questions don’t hesitate to ask bud 👍
Appreciate this
Glad to have helped 👍
Awesome build,. Be great to see drawings on this if thats possible
Sorry bud I don’t have any drawings. This was more of a learning experience. Next guy I would look into is Flash001USA he’s got some good wood gas material to follow. Thanks for the compliment 👍

Great Idea but may be too much shake the ambers would fall out to fast thanks for watching bud
Hello dear, may I ask?
What will happen when it rains?. I came from Flash001USA video 😊.
I think the best method is cover the wood your going to use. Any moisture will create more tar in the system. Dried out wood is the best. I think that’s what your asking

Robert Poynton also for the moisture wouldn’t worry about it to much I wouldn’t use kitty litter just have a valve buddy
Robert Poynton auto ignition you could use a bbq igniter or just experiment that’s were the fun starts
Josefppaz I was thinking a glow plug from a Diesel engine. I’m about a year away from building mine mate. But want it fully automatic.
I love flash001usa
That's far too neat and tidy. Are you really sure you want to fire it up and get it dirty?
