@@dansw0rkshop I generate tremendous amounts of waste oil from my business, which I currently run through a furnace to heat my shop. I would like to build a charcoal gasifier in order to use it to run a waste oil drip through it. Your design, is the only one I've seen with the cooling jacket, which I think would be necessary to handle the extraordinary heat generated by such a system. I like the idea of combining the charcoal and oil because just about any other system designed to crack only oil will always coke up and create a constant mess to deal with. Running the oil through the charcoal should reduce everything to ash which should be easy to safely clean up and dispose of. Should also generate a very rich gas mixture. I would likely use oil in my cooling jacket in order to have a consistent source of preheated oil to drip through the gasifier. Anyway, I appreciate your hard work, and especially like seeing how you create complex conical shapes, in metal, with simple shop equipment that I already have.

I have a few thoughts... why wouldn't you make a dual function gasifier... 1. Gasifier which run on charcoal gas... 2.

Example 1. if your hopper was larger you could have wood chunks in a fully enclosed sealable vessel with a manway lid. You would take the wood gass from the charoal vessel and inject back in to Pyrolysis chamber to be burned. You would need a vibrator mounted to the hopper to ensure charcoal feul from bridging in the main hopper to feed your reactor. Example 2. The reduction zone is extemely hot.. you could sheild the reduction zone with some diy castable refractory wall cone that can be replaced as need . To prevent the reduction from burning threw after months or years of usage cus the chamber would burn hotter. Part two... the above refractory liner would be a thin enought from prevent the chamber from melting or prevent thermal craking...the use back side of reduction zone as a secondary sealed hopper to manufacture more charcoal and again inject the wood gas back into Pyrolysis burner chamber above.

I have a local friend who built a gasifier for his truck .. but he was using wood not charcoal .. so bc of the wood he was concerned about the buildup of tars on valves etc. So am I to understand that a charcoal burn is going to be a lot cleaner? (I assume so.) .. The other thing that's interesting to see is how you have introduced water drip into the charcoal. What do you understand this to be doing? I know that Water is Hydrogen and Oxygen .. so it would seem that by introducing it to the charcoal .. you can get more btu energy .. but I don't know. It's great to see the development of gasification .. there is better communication and problem solving! Thanks for your posts.

1. Yes, the woodgas needs some cooling before entering the engine. 2. You still need a throttle butterfly for throttle control, so I tend to leave the original carburetor in place for that purpose. On generators, this is necessary for frequency control at 60Hz. On a car, this connects to the accelerator pedal. 3. Then, the woodgas "carburetor" is simply a plumbing tee with another valve to control the air-fuel ratio (which can be quite finicky). I'll soon have another video up showing the generator setup.
