[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

He's got an compact industrial gasifier for sure. The problems with those DIY ones you see on KZbin everywhere is that the filtration steps and efficiency is lacking. If one lived in a highly wooded area, something like this would be perfect for SHTF. Quite a few lumber mills and farms actually run their operation off of gasifier based-power which powers their entire operation + workers who live on site. Pretty neat.

[@EnriqueSonora]

Looks like this is an excellent solution for sustainability. Thanks for the tip. this makes the wood gassifier a good option.

This has been a long term goal of mine thanks for sharing. exactly the setup for my eu2000 and 5k gen set

[@roachblade]

Beat me by a week, I have a similar setup but I added a couple of extras, my 9kg LPG bottle is immersed in a steel water tank approx 4m2, adds a bit of cooling but the main reason was if it goes pop the water takes the impact and you just get wet instead of standing beside a 9kg grenade. I also have a small water bubbler post compresser for a flashback arrestor(maybe I'm just chicken-your's didn't blow). Ran out of time to run the gasifier last week. Will let you know if I encounter anything along the way.

[@MittyNuke1]

That's smart because it also cools the compressed gas, compressing gas will heat it up a lot so by cooling it you're making it safer as well as the flash back arrestor. Cool setup. Also for the propane tank water bath, if you are using the tank for propane, you could use a pump to circulate the water through a heater to heat the propane if you run into problems with it freezing up (only applies to propane since it's stored as a liquid). Very cool setup, I like the idea of using what's around you vs importing energy!

[@CZGHEIB954]

Hey man, I love you reply. Have you made a video showing your gasifier? I'd love to see the setup.

[@maineiachomestead7550]

I've seen a similar experiment before, very cool. I would like to find out if one could use a HP compressor and HP vessels for longer run times in a vehicle, etc. It just seems to be a simpler set up as opposed to having a gasifier on everything, car, truck, tractor, etc. The local community would also benefit from this as well and the infrastructure wouldn't be too complicated for a municipality to set up....I think.

[@onewyatt1]

Very nice gasifier. I am starting to think it smart to incorporate a storage tank on my system. Put my project on hold for a bit but I am soon going to start on it again. I have a lot of people waiting on new video updates and health is getting better so maybe I will be on it again shortly. Thanks for posting, I needed a little motivation.

[@WillowsGarden]

That is awesome, what a great way to save on propane, make your own gas! Scott, this was a great comparison too!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Very neat. I'm assuming wood gas doesn't liquify like LPG when compressed so your limited to just air volume of the tank?

[@jchoneandonly]

That depends on how hard you can compress it. If you get the pressure high enough it'll liquify. Otherwise it'll just pack in until your compressor can't push it

[@leeknivek]

wood gas is not just one gas, it is a mix of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, mainly, and probably some others. those will all condense at different pressures and temperatures, and there are some significant differences in density between them. some will condense, some will remain a gas, and they will all separate into layers. the majority of the flammable gases will remain as gas, the rest will condense into some type of creosote oil, which will *not* vaporize into a gas like propane does when it's reintroduced to atmospheric pressure. what's in that propane tank is probably hydrogen and carbon monoxide, primarily, and that's a pretty volatile thing to have sitting around. much more volatile than a can of gasoline or a tank of propane. carbon monoxide is deadly, and hydrogen gas is highly flammable.

[@IdahoDualSport]

[@johngodwin7902]

That is amazing. Thanks for these cool video's

[@JohnClarksc]

Are you purging the tank with an inert gas first? Furthermore how much O2 is being compressed with your wood gas? It would be very easy to create a flammable or explosive mixture in a tank containing air. I suppose once you put enough wood gas in the tank you create a rich mix that cant burn. I would be concerned about the intervening time between the LEL and the UEL, during that period you are merely charging a crude FAE. I would try to cool the gas post compression and keep the tank as cold as possible. Perhaps a orsat or a fyrite would give you a O2 reading on your wood gas?

[@KingSlimjeezy]

[@rebeljames5520]

Great video thanks for posting it

[@EaglePrepper]

When you compressed 90psi in the grill tank, what was the run time or what amount of gas did you have compared to propane? Also, What compressor did you use? A regular air compressor gets pretty warm after a extended run time. Would that be a risk for gas ignition? I am concerned about an exploding compressor. I looked on the victory gasworks site and only saw a 5k and 3k grid tie gasifier. It was nothing like yours. What is the size of yours? Thanks for your response in advance.

[@hannamand]

Probably not. Think air compressor. You pump them up to about 120psi... so most likely they won't hold shape, and would eventually rupture. I don't think they would explode or anything. Around here (DFW, TX) a used 500 gallon propane tank sells for about $250-$300... if you have a way of getting it home it would probably be the way to go, if not, small propane tanks.

[@donovannorris9837]

No regulator? Do you have your propane tank's valve fully open? Is there a way to extend run on your generator by regulating the gas flow? Just curious. I am getting ready to build a gasifier and have several out-of-date propane bottles on hand to use for storage of compressed wood gas. Interesting!

[@BCElginTex]

I was just wondering, the other day, if wood gas could be compressed. Thanks for proving this.

[@BCElginTex]

Oh, another thing I was wondering is, if wood gas can be compressed (which you proved can be done), what kind of shelf life would it have.

[@engineer775]

BC ElginTex All excellent questions to which I hope to find an answer. There is a lot of speculation around. Langstons Alternative Power has been experimenting with this too. We don't have enough history with it yet.

[@syreetacomeau6629]

BC ElginTex if you consider woodgas to be hydrogen (its most volatile compound) then it will have the same shelf life of stored hydrogen in a propane tank, if you take the same precotions as hydrogen storage then presumably you could run off of woodgas from the cold war

[@BCElginTex]

Hey Scott. Do you still have this stored? Does it still burn as efficiently as three years ago?

[@05generic]

That is so cool!

[@hannamand]

Thanks for the side by side propane/wood gas comparison. I've been thinking of using wood gas as a replacement for propane for household use (I have a lot of waste wood, so if I can use it to replace my propane bill... great!) Question: How are you producing the gas? My thought is that a stratified downdraft gassifier adds air to the mixture, which would contribute to the BTU loss. If you're making it in a sealed container (search for charcoal refractory) might get more energy per cuft of gas? Also, in the video it seems like the propane is coming out at a higher pressure... When Liquid propane turns to a gas, it's at about 110-120 psi, and then it gets regulated down, but you have a consistent 115~ PSI. With compressing gas, you start out at 115~ PSI, and it drops from there. In the case of my propane tankless water heater that might not be a problem, the propane gets stepped down in pressure from 115~ to ~11psi, and then down to 11wc (less than 1/2 psi). From what I've read online Gas grills run 20 - 30 psi... food for thought. Thanks for the video!

[@beartankoperator7950]

i agree the propane seems to be at a significantly higher pressure, also the burners used could be better designed for the fuel

[@dan9372]

This is what you have, this is what you would have to buy! What do you think Skippy?

[@mazdalorean]

I also love the gasification videos. I was just wondering , how long will the propane tank run the burner and the generator for? I always see people run engines on wood, but wouldn't it be cool to see an aircraft run on wood? Or even an entire wood processing plant that runs on wood? In your opinion , is there enough energy in wood to run a wood processing plant , and still end up with a surpluss of stored wood fuel for the gasifier?

[@lesleefreeman9176]

the big mistake all of these guys are making is they are not pulling a vacuum on the tanks before filling, one need s a set of ac gauges and a vacuum pump harbor freight has both at a low price and would be ok for this application, to be fully evacuated one should pull a vacuum then let gas in and pull a 2nd vacuum before filling

[@aaronhall555]

Leslee Freeman of don't see much of a problem with just compressing the woodgas as long as the tank hasn't sit open while empty for too long, since it should have no O2 in the tank when it runs out propane, once you start to refill with woodgas what ever was last in the the tank just mixes. Therefore negligible amount of propane mixed with woodgas should not be a problem as long as no O2 makes it in. This seems pretty safe with an experienced woodgas operator, skilled at producing consistent quality gas, and proper safety procedures. If anything, pulling a vacuum before refilling sounds like more chance to pull O2 in to the tank. What do you think?

[@clayq220]

[@gregoryhupp4118]

I want to experiment with alternatives, hemp, giant ragweed, even cornstalks. I theorize that if it can burn to carbon, heat, and CO gas, it would work. wood being more dense makes it the better fuel. I'm still in the process of design and build though.

[@kentuckyprepper1792]

Interesting! I've done academic research distilling in low (actually no) oxygen environments on wood (actually lignin). I'm curious if the compression, despite filtration, leads to any liquid products in your tank. Furthermore, I ponder whether or not creosotes or phenols may crystalize after cooling in the tank. That, of course, depends on how much oxidation occurs, but it has got me wondering. I've always wondered how to set up my own compression system. I have long wanted to couple water electrolysis with compression of hydrogen gas.

[@joseveloso405]

It is a good good job . Congrats nice work

[@gndrfineforton8331]

On a related but unrelated subject... could you use a filter and compressor (like yours from Lowes) to compress and store methane gas, obtained from a composting tank, into a steel propane tank? I seen other videos where methane gas was put under low pressure (without the use of a compressor) for heating and cooking purposes but I've never seen it stored for future use. Any thoughts?

[@TysonCapel23]

Awesome, thanks for sharing Scott! I've been wanting to see this done for a long time. Is the air to fuel ratio low enough that it would not explode if a spark were to occur inside the tank somehow? I will be doing this with pure hydrogen gas from a hho split cell I'm in the process of building. I'll post a video of it once everything is set up and ready to go.

[@chomiksyberyjski4603]

great :), how many bar do you fill the bottles? and for how long does it last? best regards

[@pope1856]

I think the problem with storing wood gas is its energy density. The whole point of turning wood into fuel is its energy density. You can store a cord of wood and that is equaled to hundreds of gallons of gasoline. The gasoline will degrade in months where as the wood could last for years. Storing wood gas is like canned farts. I think a simple and reliable gasifier is more practical than compressing it and storing it. Plus hydrogen has the smallest atom and will leak out of anything you store it in.

excellent you save me a test on my system. I am using a different type of gasifier but the result is similar. I have been thinking of using an auto air conditioner compressor to do exactly what you are doing and in fact am working on it now. its a bit messy as the lubrication system has to be set up and i think i have it sorted,using a 3.5Hp Honder to drive it hoping to compress to 20 bar, also my neibour has 1.5 Km of 50mm pvc pipe which will connect to my place that's about 25000Lts at 10bar stored in the pipe. I have done tests on various plastics in the gas and the black heavy walled type pipe is not effected by the gas but the type1 plastic is badly effected and gets a really weird waxy surface as it starts to brake down.

[@samuelmullen5823]

I wanna know too😂

[@bigoldgrizzly]

Nobody is likely to give you an answer to that because it isn't very long at all. Back in the war when they ran vehicles on wood gas, they had the gasifier on board and had to keep adding wood if they wanted to keep going. You are probably going to get better results filling a 5 - 10 cubic yard balloon or bladder, rather than trying to compress the gas into a bottle. It takes a great deal of energy to compress gas and, surely, the whole point of wood gas production is to provide an emergency, or off grid, supply of energy., not to use up more power than you will get back from the gas. Another point is that the pressure you get back out of your gas bottle will rapidly reduce as the gas is used up making for problems with carburation or controlling gas flames, You are better off firing up the gasifier if and when you need it and using the relatively constant pressure you get delivered direct from your gasifier. To cover emergencies, you could fill a balloon or two and adjusting carb or burner jets etc. to roughly atmospheric pressure or slightly above. You do need to use a special wood gas rated balloon but even with these, there is likely to be significant gas leakage, especially hydrogen, and there are real safety risks. Far better to burn direct from the gasifier. It is a pity, but liquefaction is way, way beyond DIY capabilities and hugely expensive to set up the specialist cryogenic and compression equipment needed

[@kdknitro]

Out of everything you do, i still am most intrigued and interested in your wood gas experiments. Loved seeing that big generator run off this stuff and now seeing that honda run off of it. Did the honda have a propane conversion or do you just pipe it ino the fuel line?

[@MittyNuke1]

Think he said he just piped it into the carburetor/air box. Basically replaced the air intake, which is why he added an air intake valve right off the propane tank, basically moved the carburetor (i.e., device which combines fuel and air) to the top of the propane tank vs in the engine. Fuel hose looked like it was just disconnected meaning it would allow in a small amount of additional air but most people would cap it off since it's not really doing anything in this setup.

Now this is truly outstanding. I did not realize it was safe to compress wood gas (or I am sure biodigestor methane gas) this way. Are there any warnings you can think of?

[@grayhand9676]

You used the magic word "safe". Compression causes heating and if it heats too much it goes boom. Anything over a couple of psi is potentially dangerous. Wood gas and methane systems are fairly safe due to the low pressures. A standard compressor isn't designed for this use. I've worked around a lot of compressors and most get too hot to touch. You may get away with it but then it's a hot day so the compressor gets a few degrees hotter then all they find are your empty shoes. I was thinking about compressing methane to 5 psi just to make a generator run better but even that much scares the heck out of me.
