Wood Gas | How to

This is a drawing to an old style i made and used for yrs its out dated at least to me it is but i am putting this up so you can start to see how a gasifier is made and used!

Like i said its an old design but works well just a ton of hrs of metal fab.

Now lets look at my latest design its very different and easy to build compared to the above one! Now one thing i have done that most never do i always have options added on to my gasifier units to do more stuff all at one time! So here is the new design and as you can see very different in design. (See Picture Below) This one is one of my best yet simple and easy to build and yet as my normal thing i have all the bells and whistles in it! If you have any ?'s Plz ask as i know this pic isn't the best but it does show the main idea and i am not shy ask if yr not sure! I will try and get back to as many things as i can! This unit has two main key things first its a standard style of a imbert but that's where it ends. It only has the main idea of the air jets and the diameter of them and the reduction sized used. Everything else is not imbert. The first main part the burner made out of heavy metal and some stainless then 2 100lb LP tanks for cooling and condensing out water and tar from the gas. The second key thing is after the 2nd LP tank it goes into PVC pipe (Thanks Flash001USA) that pvc pipe thing was all 100% flash and no ones else's idea. That one idea he did and tried makes building a unit 100% simpler fast and easy and easy to clean. I tho use more and have a little different set up then his but still all the same idea. I helped him on his filter mediums and that but in the end this set up is the best! Now if you see the side pipe in the burner unit that's my own set up no one i mean no one is doing this i started this well over 10yrs ago and its where i take plastic or rubber and cook it down and still it off into oils and fuels i will put up other things on this if i get alot of ?'s as this is not common. But i use a different set up for the plastic to oil condenser if i get allot of interest on this ill write up about it so you can make many oils and fuels  in one set up look below for a write up on it and the picture of my plastic to oil condenser i made it up by its self for a better view and it can be used for many things.



 Now this next picture is on my plastic to oil separator this i made on my own no one else has anything like this i started this project about 8yrs ago and its been fun and very cool. This lets me make all kinds of oils fuels and other goods. I can change things up and still out alcohol and lots more. All it takes is some hard work and an open mind to really get how this works and functions.

Now as you can see how slick this set up really is. It has allot of close jars and allot of them so that the heat from one to the next only cools off a little each one this allows for more separation of more specific items and as it cools its also getting cleaned. I then put the gas from the last jar into the gasifier unit in the first lp tank. This gives the gas the option to get cleaned up even more from the filters on the wood gas unit and then the left over light gasses are used like wood gas giving the wood gas a much higher burnable gas. This set up takes trash and makes it into a usable product and has many uses. Please leave any ?'s and comments you have if they are real ?'s i will try and answer all i can and if i don't know ill say so.

One thing i also have done that no one else is doing is i blend in a 5 to 10% blend of plastic and rubber to wood this gives the wood gas a great increase of hp and it is much more burnable and usable. This tho does take and need more filtering and as it is cooled off gives your water tar mix you get from it an oily mix to it thus is can be run threw the plastic separator at different temps to separate out more oils and fuels. Keep in mind this is all ( DO AT YOUR OWN RISK) and i am not responsible for anything that happens or if you get into any trouble by any government agencies from trying this. Now with that said if you do try any of this then be very care full i don't want to hear hey this or hey that! I am only giving this as i have had allot of people asking me about all this so here it is. Keep in mind there is allot of math and other things that i didn't give out with this that one still would need to figure out.

Leave any ?'s and comments plz hope this helped out some that have asked me about this all!

  2. Hi Troy; Do you have any actual pictures or video of your gasifier that you talk about? Would be very interested in seeing how you did your fabrication and unit in operation. Thanks

    1. No my current unit is getting very old its been used for yrs now and i am going to build a new setup with many new addons that i have rigged in for testing and more in my current unit! Plus with all my addons its hard to get a good view of it all i have it so stacked so packed! With all my plastic and rubber to oil stuff and that is wrapped around my unit so make it the way i want it! When i get the money to build my new design setup i plan to show each step in the build and make it more expanded as now i understand more of my addons and how they work i can redo a lot of it and make it look 200% better and way smaller and way less welding too! Plus my unit is getting where its almost time to rebuild have lots of small things now after yrs of use going bad i may point out one time on my current one things to watch out for if you use one daily and all the time!

  4. Hey man! Only discovered you right now in 2022. Really great content! I love the way you write also and the feel of your page.

    Do you happen to have higher resolution of your two gassifier setups? Both would be great. Since the text is too small to read, even when downloaded. (I suspect it's because there is maximum size picture that you can upload here)

    Is there any way you can email them to me, or send me a Dropbox link? (I can also add more options here) Thanks a lot in advance!
