Dang, sounds fascinating.

I have no idea what this is, but it sounds interesting!

Can the gas be used for internal combustion engines like lawnmowers, chain saws, snowblowers, etc.?

Yes. It's best with steady throttle things like generators, wood chippers, wood splitters, water pumps. It definitely works with vehicles as demonstrated in WWII Europe.

It is wood gasification. Basically you burn wood or carbon in low oxygen environment and it makes a flammable vapor gas you can run an engine off of. I've built a few and would like to make a really simple one and design and sell it so that someone could assemble with basic hand tools and a drill.

I've had the bug for years. Just seeing if there is enough interest to start a little side hobby of drop shippable gasifiers that people could use to run internal combustion engines. I think a NOSTR relay powered by wood would be pretty cool. haha

Whoa, that sounds cool!

I think so. I've been addicted for a while. Have run generators and a car on it. I prefer charcoal gasification as it is simpler but not as efficient.

I’m interested

That's great! Have you seen or heard about gasifiers before?
