Wood Gasifier (replace gasoline with woodsmoke)
Feb 1^st, 2015, 11:31am

The tech has been there for years. used on farms and for country transportation during WWI and WWII. It's simple to build. I have seen people run up to a 40KW generator reliably on this kind of technology. I posted a link to a video on one and a set of plans. will post more later as I have time.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

It's a decent design but needs tweaked. the video I posted up above shows a good tweaked design. The downside to this design is that it's mainly made to use wood pellets. You could get by with wood chips I'm sure but logs and such are a no go. I'd like to build one to test out corn burning in as well, but am searching for the ultimate design. might hafta design it myself, we will see.

My browser tries to connect and then after a minute of trying to connect gives the error "File not found." If you got it, upload it to the website and I'll download it from within.
