No kidding! I'm surprised he didn't go through about thirty starter motors, the way he kept it engaged!

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

You'll get much more "Wood Gas" from heating the wood, rather than burning it.. You'll need a system similar to a "Double Boiler" cooker.. Light a Fire under the the fire chamber you made, not in it.. You *Cook the Wood* , NOT burn it.. .. Wood will produce much more gas, without burning it..

[@lorenzo42p]

yea, was thinking that. I think when the engine finally starts, it uses up what flammable gasses are in the pipe then stalls out. once the engine is running it increases the pull on the gas pipe, which lowers the fuel ratio, and burning up more oxygen by the fire in the back.

[@vl9665]

Yup, seen plenty of them made that way, they work perfectly

[@engineer0239]

Actually this design is not that inefficient. When the air rushes in, the fuel at the bottom of the container is burned and the oxygen is getting depleted very quickly. The burning fuel creates very hot gasses that can transfer their energy to the remaining fuel very fast and since there is no oxygen left, a lot of woodgas is produced. And this is the advantage over a design where the heat is transfered over a steel membrane.

[@daviedood2503]

[@cURLybOi]

you need to heat the wood, not burn it. if you use charcoal as heating fuel and keep the wood sealed on top of it so that the gas can only escape to the engine, it will work. right now you get too much waste products to the engine

[@madmax2069]

cURLy bOi yup

[@ajl9491]

makes sense more fuel gas rather than combustion exhaust gases

[@TarenGarond]

Your method sounds kind of weird and probably wasteful of fuel, a lot harder to control gas mixture to the engine also! I believe the classic way of gasifying wood(By burning the wood partly, etc.) is better. But I think they have way too big air nozzles, also have no idea how the gasifier innards look. So yeah they probably do get too much "waste products".

[@edifyguy]

They're starting the fire with charcoal, which has insufficient hydrocarbons (it's mostly just carbon) so the output is mostly carbon dioxide, which is inert. The wood isn't getting involved enough in the short burns they're using. They need to use just wood and no charcoal if this is going to work. The charcoal may as well be dirt for as much help as it is.

[@TarenGarond]

edifyguy ...... Straight charcoal have been used in gasifiers for vehicles, it works fine!!! I believe that charcoal is a better fuel than wood for a gasifier, it is also a lot simpler to make a charcoal gasifier than a wood gasifier! Look up how gasification works, It does not work as you think. But you are probably correct that the output of their gasifier is mostly CO2, because the air intake for the gasifier looks huge!

[@sweetpeaz61]

I built a gasifier years ago..had the same problem. You need to restrict the ingoing air at the FIREBOX once you have a good fire going, then the engine will run. You only need just enough air to keep the fire lit, too much and the gas it produces combusts. he gas you need to get is carbon monoxide and hydrogen....my engine ran really well once i did this

[@imjeremy51]

Makes sense. The flammable gasses are unburned fuel due to incomplete combustion. If you restrict the oxygen, less oxidization happens in the firebox leaving free radicals in the smoke ready to ignite once oxygen is reintroduced in the engine.

[@domspiros]

How do you filter out the black tar

[@sweetpeaz61]

@@domspiros I didnt bother as I was pipng the gas directly into the inlet of the engine. because it wasnt condensing any tar was combusted in the cylinder, I dare say after many hours it would have been an issue with carbon build up in the engine but i was only experimenting at the time

[@edifyguy]

He needs to stop using charcoal. He's getting too much CO2 and not enough HCs and CO.

[@madmax2069]

edifyguy the issue is that he's not adjusting the timing, he's also burning the material, it should be separated (the material that's burning from the material that producing the gas)

[@38911bytefree]

True, you need to avance the ignition. On carb cars LPG was a PAIN. On EFI cars the tell the ECM to modify it or cheat sensor readings a bit so it naturally does that.

[@Whorifice]

They appear to have it setup more like a pyrolysis oven, where the hydrocarbons cooked out of the wood are plumbed back to the heat source to fuel the reaction which is consuming the majority of the wood gas being produced, in effect they are plumbing a lot of exhaust with some unburnt fuel into their engine by the looks of it.

[@ratgreen]

It needs to be heated coal not burnt. Wood would be better. You need to have a separate tank underneath your tank to have a fire in to heat it and that heats the other section which produces the gas

[@MrMattydavee]

ratgreen thank you

[@edifyguy]

Nope, not how it's done. His problem is that he's trying to use some charcoal, and charcoal is not suitable. If he used wood and only wood, his design would work. His design is pretty much the way it's always been done. Wood gasification to fuel cars is actually very well understood, and was widely practiced during World War 2.

[@huerta25264]

right. the fire is burning the gas instead of the the engine burning it. when heated the gasses are evaporated then combusted within the engine.

[@edifyguy]

Yes and no. What happens when you do it with wood is that the bulk of the wood gas (volatiles) is not actually burned in the fire tank, called a gasifier, but passes out the exit and into the engine where it is burned. Charcoal is wood with the volatiles already burned out. The problem with using charcoal is that there is not enough volatiles left for the gas leaving the gasifier to have sufficient fuel value to power the engine. The volatiles in the wood are what primarily powers the engine, and the charcoal left behind from that is what primarily powers the gasifier. Charcoal is simply not a good fuel for this.

To make proper wood gas you should have two metal containers. One inside the other with the gas coming from the inside tank. Wood goes in the inside tank and whatever flammable material like more wood or charcoal in the second tank outside the first tank. The second tank “cooks” the first one inside of it but it cannot ignite without air so thats why should be plumbed in.

You need a sealed gas generator with one outlet as the only opening to get strong flammable gas, and you need to basically convert hardwood to charcoal in the generator. That would require an external heat source so try making a sealed gas generator that can be heated via an external wood fire that isn't part of the intake lines. It would probably help to either remove the carb completely or at least make it so that it's WOT at all times, and control the air intake with a separate valve like the one you had on the system Great build and an interesting idea!

@@3rdworldgarage450 It was typical to only 30 miles before you needed to stop and stoke or refill the gasifier. This made sense for emergency services, but not for casual driving around.

Then you have room for better filters and cooling, so it would be like driving on LPG.

You cant, least reliably. Newer engines are way more complex due trying to get efficient as possible, while producing enough power for vehicles design and fitting into stupid ass emissions regulations, creating for instance multi climax of stupidity= EGR-valve on VAG 1.9TDi that just ruins great engine, causing multitude of problems. You need to have gasoline engine that is simple and cheap enough to maintain, as you need to open cylinder head and clean the valves from tar and other byproducts that do slip trough the filtering system to engine, well as carburator if you even use it. Probably the best option would be make a block between carb and intake, witch allows you to use both gasoline and wood gas. Using gas say every other run should flush the tar off quite nicely, prolonging how often you need to open the head for clean up. This allows also you to have place where to build your own "carburator" to control gas/air mix. Note that i'm no expert on topic, just what i have so far read on topic.
