How to Run a Generator on Trash! (Gasifier Pt 2) Experiment

[@ExperimentalFun]

Buy stuff I use here- Amazon.com/shop/ExperimentalFun (affiliate link)

[@BolinFoto]

I would take a step back or two with that lid screwed shut like that..... Pressurised highly combustible gas in a closed container encased in naked flames.... jupp it's not a gasifier any more it's an I.E.D :p

[@saikumar_ramya1723]

Pls send abstract

[@davidgruen7423]

So that capacitor is like a flywheel in essence right? So if you were to mount a flywheel on it then you don’t need that right?

[@ExperimentalFun]

Basically yeah, its just a way to store some extra energy for the starting load so yes technically you could use a heavier flywheel and that would be another way to store some extra energy :)

[@andromedaquasar1547]

Experimental Fun its harmfull for our air....burning plastic isnt good...better to recycle the paper and plastic...all recyable...not burning...not solution!

[@Chuck_Huckler]

If your lid keeps popping off, you've got too much pressure in the line, likely due to having your line submerged too deep. Instead of drilling a bunch of holes in the lid and losing half the gas, i'd suggest buying some five or ten pound iron weights, the sort meant to be used on a bench press bar. They're small enough to stack on top of eachother without getting in the way, and there's a convenient hole right in the middle which would allow your copper tube through. Five or so of those and you likely won't have issues with popping your lid anymore. Also, try replacing your first flashback arrestor's water with vegetable oil, it'll likely catch more of the particulates as the bubbles rise through it. To filter the gas even more using the oil, pinch the end of the line to create a nozzle and decrease the size of the bubbles. The increased surface area will give more particles a chance to fall into the oil. Also, for your second filter/arrestor, i'd try using water with ice in it. The garbage you're burning likely has a lot of water vapor in it, but the gas will have cooled a lot as it passes through the tube and the oil, so if you pass it through icy cold water after that, some of that water vapor may condense out and not make it to the engine. If you'd like to cool the gas even more, try running a coil of the tube through a two-liter bottle full of water before it reaches the oil. Just cut the top off and seal the bottom hole with epoxy. Just a note, the oil being used as an arrestor/filter will probably eventually turn into a sludge that can also be burned to cook more trash. I'd love to see this small setup running more efficiently, and i think if you take a look at a channel called "oil burner" you'll find a number of methods of using the waste oil (and that blower) to cook more gas. In the future i wouldn't bother using a blower on an open fire like that, as you're better off just punching holes in the bottom of the outer can to allow natural airflow through. Your fuel will burn cooler and last longer, and it won't be so rough on your setup, which i saw glowing red there. And judging by the sound of that engine, i think it can produce more power than that, especially if it has more gas to work with. Try adding a gearbox to get more speed out of the rig.

[@CasamTheAnimator]

But the ice will melt.

[@bjw7666]

Very good suggestions. I think in the real pilot or real system, they'll make it much more efficient.

[@Chuck_Huckler]

@@CasamTheAnimator Just water would also work, just less efficiently. You'd need another copper coil and two or three liter bottle for it, then. Also a trap for the water being produced, with a valve for occasional drainage.

Question again me I am still to worried to run my engine on propane with the oil setup you have whats the lomgest you have runned it

[@ExperimentalFun]

It has a few hours run time with the oil setup I have, I don't really recommend doing it the same if you care about the engine, I got this engine for free so i'm not worried about it, it seems to work good enough for what i do with it.

[@nightmareinaction629]

Experimental Fun I got the engine for free too I actually got a couple I was just wanted to make sure I did not blow any of them but I'll give it a run is because I have acces to tons of propane but I wanna add a safety feature the when the oil goes below a level it shuts off the engine

[@ExperimentalFun]

you could also thin down the oil with a little gas so it gets into the engine better

[@nightmareinaction629]

Andreas Mathiassen it's a 2 stroke they dont have an oil filled crank like 4 strokes do heck they dont even have oil in the crank only a tiny bit bost of it is at the top of the piston that's why it does not get recycled most of the time it kind of burns off

[@CallumTapper]

Just use an old 4 stroke lawnmower motor or something if you're worried about oiling for the 2 stroke

[@martinapili9459]

Couldnt you use larger diameter copper tube and larger mason jars for more efficiency?

[@BolinFoto]

Cooling of the gas is more important than the diameter of the pipe. Hot gas is less dense, so if you cool it down you'll get more gas in a smaller space. The particles are the problem they clog up the engine but you can easily just filter it through some sawdust. Of and the more water in the fuel the more water in the gas and "Wet" gas is not as efficient but that can be remedied using an expansion tank where the water can precipitate out of the gas and collect at the bottom.

[@SvetlinTotev]

I really like the cutting cardboard effect!

[@ExperimentalFun]

haha Thanks! :)

[@bramboraail]

the connection of engine and motor is unbalanced by the one ring screw you are using, add more of them IN a balanced position. or connect it by ducktape in case it will work :D it will put less work to the engine

[@bramboraail]

and almost cancel vibrations

[@bramboraail]

I realized you have two ring screws, I remembered it as one, because you have both of them in the same position.Just turn one of them up and other down,(I mean the screw heads), it will make 50 to 80 % less vibrations. It will also make the engine to spin more easy.

[@crestfallensunbro6001]

make something based on ecology next time ? add electrolysis to the mix ?

[@ExperimentalFun]

:) perhaps

[@dimensionalcrafter4641]

What could it do with electrolysis ? He would be better off with an electrical motor.

[@bramboraail]

electrolysis makes fuel to engine and its eco fine

[@dimensionalcrafter4641]

But the energy released by the fuel is equal to the energy required to make the fuel and quite a bit of energy would be lost in form of heat and leaks. Electrolysis isn't an efficient way of powering a motor, unless you don't have an electrical motor (or not one powerful or efficient enough).

[@bramboraail]

I dont know which power is needed for which kind of hho gas production. It could be tricky. In case of a car which can offer 350W instantly, it is perfect for cleaning the exhaust and make it about 95% cleaner. Would this mini engine run with 100 or 200 ? I would moslty love to find out ) It is possible to take as much ampers as you need from the generator by series of electrolysis chambers. (and dont forget to equalize the axis finally ))

No, WITH oxygen. Wood vapor will spark ignite in an oxygen mixture, just as gasoline will. Liquid gasoline will not, hence the carburetor to vaporize the gasoline and mix it with air on a normal engine like this.

Experimental Fun, maybe you should tag this. I see alot of people asking what you can put in there. Anything that doesn't melt, Plastic bottles, Plastic dvd's. Etc. You cannot put in there. But anything that burns away, (Turns to ash) can be put in there. Paper, paper cups, wood, (I know i said burns away, but don't put wax in there. ;)

[@crestfallensunbro6001]

a better rule is; in the big can, anything that burns and in the small can, anything that used to be wood.

[@byebye9785]

Actually, if you ensure the small can is airtight so it doesn't burn and you get it hot enough, you can make a fractional distillation column and feed it from the small can and get various hydrocarbon fractions out of it from tar to gases, with diesel/petrol(gasoline) type fractions inbetween. putting plastic in the small can would likely yield both suitable fuel and lubricant for the engine. Of course you need to utilise (or capture/store for others to use) all the fractions for it to be environmentally sound.

[@Unmannedair]

suggestion: if you added water to your reactor, and then pressurized it such that the temperature was allowed to reach 800 degrees before starting to bleed of gas, it would crack the carbon chains and water to create a hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide. this is in addition to the wood gas you're currently extracting. the waste stream at the end would be almost non existent. one further note, this type of modification would be able to easily crack plastics into fuel also. plastics are a particularly rich source of hydrocarbons.

very nice job, I would change a couple of things, first I would use a small 4 stroke engine, the main reason is the oil is separate than on a 2 stroke, and also have a actual crank shaft so you can keep the cooling on the engine. And also I would use a Rocket type stove, and not stuff the air inlet with fuel, That is why I am seeing when you start it up and turn on the blower the fire comes out the air intake.
