This is a video of my third major update of the Fatboy top lit up draft insulated batch gasifier. It's uses some common gasifier design principles as well as many handling and emission improvements. This unit is an in progress working prototype so many elements look rough but function as intended and are often tweaked and changed. This is an open source project so feel free to copy what you like, but in the nature of open source projects please share your improvements by sending photos. plans and text to www.biochar.net/fayboy-gasifie...

He didn't used smaller drum with a lead filled with pieces of woods for his biochar placed inside the green drum! As a result he's got ashes with little pieces of charcoals.

This is not a gasifier, this is a rocket heater, it's not even a rocket mass heater. You could do so much more with this. This is a disappointing outside space heater that is more efficient than an open pit and little more. If that's what you want that's great, well done, but you could do SO MUCH MORE with this. A few tweets and you would be able to produce woodgas which you can store and use, you cab direct the flu under your floor for mass heating and energy capture, you could add a cyclone filter and separate the tar from your char (which btw is great for wood treatment, creating old style open fire torches, and you can make pitch with it too) if you are careful and introduce a two chamber fuel system you can reburn excess charcoal in the outside chamber and pyrolise new fuel in the centre chamber. If you use pine in the pyrolysis process, if your design is not a bad one you can actually harvest pure pine oil which is a beautiful wood stain and an anti septic, if you direct the flume under your floor you cut your heating bills and waste far less energy, if insulate the fire box and your flume (since you are not worried about creosote which is going to be burned in your gasifier or filleted via the tar trap or cyclonic filter) you will even extend that use of excess energy. You can wrap your metal pipes around the flume and heat your water partially for free, coupled with a passive solar heater (made from scrap for nearly nothing) you can get warm water for free and hot with more wood being burned, but still for free. You can even use the exhaust to pull a natural vacuum through which you can at least partially compress your own wood gas for storage. I'm not trying to shit on you here but you've put so much work into that for little reward, you can make it so that much more for you. It seems sad that it isn't. Ps you don't need to put nuts or even newspaper or dry kindling in to get it started if you got done food waste that's not safe for your creatures you can ferment really strong alcohol (not safe to drink) but ideal for starting fires at ultra high temperatures, which frees your paper waste for composting or a wormery. You're obviously at least moderately resourceful and this is a wasteful use of your matter comrade. It's not a criticism, it's a if you do this, you get more back awareness thing. On an unrelated note... You might also consider a modification to your septic tank where you add a three stage system the primary holds solids and only briefly liquids, you basically put a wormery in this, they love the waste and the paper they can mulch and they produce a very fine liquid fertiliser which is particularly potent when mixed with excess nitrogen in the remaining urea. Great for tomatoes. The last chamber is just for spill over.

I concur, your only making bio-char, which your turning into enriched soil, good for growing potatoes. But, no energy being used or stored from the gasses you produced, kind of a wasted effort and of the material, but, clean burning incinerator.

So, I have something built for making bio-char, but I call mine a retort kiln. I use the char-wood in my Big Green Egg. My plans are to build a true gasifier to run a gas powered electric generator, I plan to use the char-wood in it as to reduce ash & moisture.

I have now modified the condenser increasing it's diameter to 205mm, dropped the flue down over the condenser to reduce tertiary air side wind issues and added a flue door for light up. My next planned changes will be focused on moving or tipping the top of the unit to allow for easy access for filling.

what is the true purpose of this gasifier, i see no way are you capturing any of the gasses i do like the loading design of it but i just am not sure whats the point of this design? is it to heat a house, garage or something? or just for composting? im pretty lost someone help me see what im missing because my current gasifier i built is used to run my truck and other carbureted vehicles but i can't see how you do that with this design?

It is, in fact, a gasifier. The syngas does not have to be captured and used elsewhere to qualify as a gasifier. Here it is being directly combusted. The specific process happening to the fuel in that unit is called gasification... He is using a gasifier to make biochar.

A campfire is a gassifier if you use your reasoning. There would be flame coming out the chimney if it was a true gassifier. Real gassification requires restriction of oxygen content.

No, a campfire is not a gasifier because it doesn't produce a clean burn-- it produces CO and other byproducts rather than just CO2, H2O, and C ... . www.allpowerlabs.com/gasification-explained

OK, another idea that was raped from my brain, but since you on it, I suggest leaving the bottom open, about inch and a half grid at the bottom and a weight on the top, as the wood burn it should break off and fall through the grill into the water. I call this dragon poo, to charofied cherry wood, after the burn, use the remaining ash and water to make lye, stack the wood from smallest to largest, before burning.

I suppose its a gasifier in the sense that woodgas is created and burned off as a secondary burn, resulting a clean burn. But other than an expensive and time consuming way to create rich compost, the unit serves no other purpose. Shocking in the current line of DIY gasification projects really, the gas is wasted, the heat is wasted, not to mention all of the other byproducts which this unit simply burn's away and is thrown out as heat at the top of the flue. If you have to make expensive compost at least utilize the other products along the way instead of venting them into the atmosphere.
