I love videos like this , that aren't perfect; because it shows that not everything has to be perfect and look like it was made in a factory to get results. Which in-turn encourages more people to try, because they can do at least that good.

[@KellyBtech]

I like the way you put this video together. Very well done! Thank you for posting. Now I begin to understand wood gasification. It's not as complicated as some would have us believe. I bought a 100# propane tank today so I can start my own gasifier project. This is my kind of entertainment. Keep up the good work. : ) Kelly Marysville, WA - USA

Some welding tips; 1) take of f those ear muffs! you need to hear the weld, It should sound like frying bacon. 2) you are building up way to much weld bead, turn up your heat and/or slow down your wire speed. Play with it until it sounds smoothly like frying bacon. 3) I suggest a hood glass that is dark enough that you can just barely make out things close to your weld bead. If you can see your hand and everything clearly, you may not be able to see the actual arc itself. too bright.

[@bestestinventions7032]

i see many people disliking the music or the spelling/grammar. just wanna say to the author that i find this a great video and i personally don't care hoots about the music or spelling/grammar as long as the information is presented clearly.

[@f7ipper]

Thanks for sharing your work - you have generosity that the world really needs!

[@HisWayHomestead]

good video, I would have liked to seen more details about sizes and dimensions of components. This is an overall perspective of the build but I doubt anyone could use this to make their own.

[@SacchiMoto]

Scoobyist, this is a great video, my family is heading down the Bio-mass digester path, but after watching your 3 videos, there is no reason not to have more than one form of "Self-Energy" - and don't listen to those who have nothing good to say about your videos - they rock! More people shoud get out and "Do" and not just sit and tell others they what they "think" is wrong with someone's work or video. I hope your Gasifier lasts you for many long years. Be well.

[@SacchiMoto]

@Clarkview There is a [mute] button right next to the [play] button if you dont like Creed - you can even open another Tab and play "your" fav song while watching this video-I am sure that may of us have done that before.

[@seven7arrows]

Wow thanks for posting. So many haters who just sit on their butts criticizing others but never do anything themselves. Good job.

[@capt10ronn]

Just a quick thanks for the instruction.... good vid and music!

[@robertburke9756]

Outstanding and thank you for sharing. God bless you

[@SuperDaveisme]

some people DO things. other criticize. nice work, spelling could be better..... but it is far more real than what 99% of your critics have fabricated !

[@johnmoore3377]

Heaps of work there!

[@richardrayner5952]

ive seen others and I think the double barrel with an air gap of half inch between them to pre warm the air from one side to the other is better then the hot air goes straight up and off the top so it feeds its self

[@Dollapfin]

This is similar to the fema design. Good job.

[@michael970]

Very hard to understand the negative comments... I think it was awesome and I learned a few things from it.so thank you for your time

[@castirondude]

this is youtube. If you give them $1000 they will blame you for not giving them $10,000 I agree , very helpful info, thx .. I do agree though I had a hard time figuring out the drawings in the beginning.

[@plowmaster1206]

song BLOWS!

[@algae1000]

Very good! Thank you!

[@cblazer]

song goes good with that

[@Scoobyist]

@MyThunder777 As Years are running by, i ended now up at a big company producing professional powerplants up to 25 MWel. Soo i learnd now to weld!! I'll show soon some new gasifiers! Not as bulky as that one!!

[@Scoobyist]

@arnoldcustom thihi jup i learned alot with that one!! Now my welds are way better!! I build a new gasifier, but have to get the Video ready, before uploadin it!!

[@bioleuxpolska7406]

What every gasifier system needs is a cheap and robust gas-cleaning. We offer our patented filtration-free devices for the capable OEMs.

[@attilahofferek90]

If You use lower current for welding, You would get less metal drops around the suture.

[@GuiFalked]

Nice stuff Scooby. You ever think about methane digesters too? Mix up BioChar and Compost wastes and you have a nice topsoil as a waste from your energy production. Enough "Waste heat" generated overall to put to work distilling bad water or desalinating ocean water. :D (Pumping it around too)

Thanks for the video scoobyist and I agree that nobody needs the fema tar gasifier.

[@meterdatamanagement]

Thanks for this help

[@TheRealXesc]

@Scoobyist I think you should totally pursue that dream, if it is one of yours. I would absolutely like to buy one from you as well!

[@heizung4me]

Schön gemacht! In welcher Ecke von Deutschland wohnt der Holzvergaser?

[@eddiemckie804]

The diagrams are really hard to read and understand if you goal is to help other people reproduce what you did/are doing.

[@felderup]

@Scoobyist could use rivetted clips and high temp silicone...

[@vishwaspatel900]

You made it it's good but as I know it's not possible tar free gasifier until u control moisture of fuel but this is very basic

[@skid508]

With all that practice, I would expect you to be a much better welder. Looks like you need to turn up the current and slow down while laying a bead.

[@user-ml2tp8no6m]

nice

[@frank0067]

your a better man than I.. i cant even build that thing

[@felderup]

@Scoobyist use rivetted clips and high temp silicone...

[@Scoobyist]

@KellyBtech Nice, go for its definetly! Not that hard as "they" always tell. The hard part is to keep it running 24/7 :D:D Greets

[@aboalwaleed7729]

thanks...i want to use this designe with elc generator ...this gsifire how many kw generatore run...please answer me is it enugh for 25 kw generator

[@Scoobyist]

@ushillbillies Its scary!! but i improved my welding quite abit :D

[@ushillbillies]

The welding looks scary

[@rewIndustry]

how long did the pressure pot last?

[@coolmoon8601]

Just pictures and a song sound trouble is lurking around that idea of yours...

[@georgemurray5668]

Is this a rock concert or a instruction video

[@Scoobyist]

You got any videos from that? hot or cool filtering!??? I think its all about hot gascleaning!!

[@AstrumAustralia]

@arnoldcustom Have you ever heard the saying "if you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say it" those of us who haven't had years of welding experience just give it a go mate!

[@puppetjaw]

Actually Creed, not Nickleback. So does that mean you can now watch?

[@mb7644]

Are you going to build these for the public??

[@marcbresnan]

I paused and stopped watching as soon as I unmuted my speakers and heard Creed.

[@mikenestle4679]

What is "warming pan string"??

[@girasolrociado]

Hi man, it seems awesome but could you explain it in a little more detail, please? I'm trying to build something like this but I can´t undestand your design. Could you share more info about it and upload a demonstration? I'm from Peru by the way and we need all the help we can get.

[@fattmouth7715]

I think he is using the design from the wood gasifier builder's bible. I have the book. Never put it together though. Seems like a good design though.

[@martinmeyer6341]

Braucht man dafür auch einen Lüfter?

[@zzz2815]

День добрый скажите какой расход топлива? и выход газа?

[@damionlowther78]

The people complaining about not being able to follow because of grammar just demonstrate their own intellectual deficiency. Maybe he should write it out in crayon for them

[@SuperHorrormike]

isnt nickleback its creed doing the song with arms wide open

[@blake86303]

Sorry. One look at those "welds" and I had to stop the video.

[@brewmiester11]

I think that he does pretty good with English; considering that it doesn't seem to be his first language.

[@jsmythib]

Tar Free..meaning your intake valves dont get welded in place with wood tar when the engine cools? lol..Dammit.. Nice setup, I wish i could work with REAL METAL! Thanks for sharing-

[@caseyjo2566]

I cant get mine to work..........

[@waynegoff764]

Why the naff music?

[@jj01a]

it would way better if you would use powerpoint to do your diagrams.

[@leeknivek]

? those welds aren't even that bad for someone who is obviously not a professional welder.

[@SolarEnergyTurvo]

tenho que ter sua ajuda

[@ushillbillies]

@Scoobyist Learn from others & practice..Ive been at it for over 40 years and still can pick up a trick or 2

[@michaelmeenaghan8559]

of interest, hard to follow....air tight welds?, not a chance....odd that used mig yet some shots of weld showed slag

[@normdoty]

the slag is usually from flux core welding wire.

[@antoniocardosodepontalinda9009]

nota azero para seu video ,porque esta mudo ,

[@VSTARMAN51]

Very creative - and it works! But, please...I find it odd that someone who could a) design and build this gasifier and b) make drawings and publish this video - cannot SPELL to save his life...Just a thought: If it's worth publishing on KZbin (and this is), please get someone to help by spell checking and the basic grammar...cheers!

[@leevega4893]

Hater. You just had to empower. Yourself and correct him at something. Lol you like a dumbass. "Cheers"

You know they say Einstein could not tie his shoes but...

[@kadenzxc]

Shades shady No hope for humanity.

[@kadenzxc]

felix felix I agree. I used to be quite bad at that, and I still am occasionally, but it just means I had to spend a little time learning to watch my grammar. This falls under the same category as the comments on the welding I suppose. For such a cool design, this video discarded a lot of great potential by skipping the little things. I certainly enjoyed the video and respect the maker, but it's hard to do that when there are so many simple mistakes.

[@nickcarter620]

felix felix you are a real tit. Kindly go stuff yourself for being rude to man who gave you the gift of his knowledge for free. If you want to be constructive, contact him, work with him and you do the bloody drawings. Negative and ungrateful people like you annoy me.

[@alm7707]

what the heck was that about. where were the step by step instructions?

[@eyadahmed8985]

ممتاز

[@1pcfred]

Whatever that noise was I stopped at 0:29 myself

[@DepechLyot]

I like the Nikelbad why shouldnt like it???

[@oldschoolfoil2365]

nickel back is even worse talk about music thats had its ass worn out over the years

[@KingTesticus]

music fail

[@mohammedismail366]

I want to know tat Back Ground Song ?

[@mohammedismail366]

+numernine9 Thanku :)

[@va8ko8]

что это такое? дайте мне ответ

[@ELMATRACA69]

You don't force anybody to watch YOURS videos but… YOU MISSLEAD EVERYBODY WITH THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO

[@Scoobyist]

@KesslersCross Sorry but I would never sell something like that, its not professional enough produced, also there's proper filtering and a engine with generator missing!! Sorry go for a GEK or some other youtubers!! Maybe in a few years I'm able to sell completete done Boxes with everything in, would be a dream coming true for me!! Greets

[@tedk8286]

Doesn't anybody know that was Creed?

[@jessicadavis8]

No Creed please.

[@psibyrion]

not nickelback, creed, trolling is ineffective if inaccurate

[@Dreadiceman1]

don't you ever call those welds again

[@texw4062]

LOLOLOL. Not that I would do any better.

[@Scoobyist]

I don't force anybody too watch my videos, if you like electronic music check out: Step by Step Tar Free Gasifier 2.0 ;)

[@mrakjunior]

people are mean

[@gregnowling3128]

I thought You tube was for videos, not slide shows !

[@eatenbytheweasel8366]

Guy ain't no fucking welder.

[@billsmall4623]

sorry for the thumbs down but I hate instructional videos with music or other distracting noises. I would rather hear you explaining your ideas

[@johnhili8664]

I agree!!

[@callsam101]

I So AGREE

[@robbygee2539]

Yes.

[@stollerhaugen2]

Instructional videos should NOT have any distracting music.Just get to the point,and I dont care if the velding was bad

[@asifaghadi2282]

I also agree hope less music

[@stovelover63]

I like the song but I would rather hear talking instead of loud musci, al

[@jamesallen1735]

was going to watch then nickleback kicked in!

[@MyThunder777]

cold lap and the legs are bad your not eh welder lol but nice teck

[@archeryman5000]

@arnoldcustom Checked on you, do not see any welding there, bird shit or otherwise

[@jetpowered1]

Omg, please kill the tunes?

[@Cyruscosmo]

@arnoldcustom Arnold “Custom” From the shadows of anonymous chat text, a sad little man whispers words of ridicule for those he feels threatened by. Custom what? Maybe Mr. “Custom” would like to post a video showing the world that he has actually attained the status of supreme welding expert and has earned the right to offer constructive advise to others?

[@af9241]

Well, at :40 I decided I couldn't take listening to Creed anymore.....

[@patrickmcginty4385]

couldn't take the background music

[@apaulothegreat1581]

Couldn't take the music

[@OnerousEthic]

Huh?

[@francescapallozzi]

OMG your weld is horrible!

[@TakeOffBeatsInc]

So what... it can be improved. Why wouldn't you instead, I don't know, offer words of encouragement? Constructive criticism helps people so much more but I guess the gratification that you have gotten from your comment outweighs the results of delivering advice in a more efficient way.

[@dukeman7595]

Another jealous hater.

[@dukeman7595]

TakeOff BeatsInc Very well said and so true. It don't cost anything to encourage someone but it is very expensive to tear down a person, everyone suffers.

[@TakeOffBeatsInc]

Joseph Maximus most definitely!

[@PatriotPits]

Joseph Maximus but his welds are horrible! He's making the Miller welder look like a piece of garbage. No hating about it. Nice design though, gave me some ideas... But seriously fine tune that welding skill and you wont be warping the living shit out of flat objects like that ring you welded. Maybe invest in a good hood, or buy a #8 shade for the one you have or something if your having trouble seeing the puddle...

[@fukyu3839]

I'll sell you my gasifier ;) seriously... lol

[@MM-sb1gd]

Grammar & Spelling Patrol here! You spelled "grammar" wrong! Your error reminds me of a woman boasting about how humble she is! However, the other part of your comment may have some merit.

[@mb7644]

Be a big help if you would take out the music and explain what you are doing. A waste of time to try to learn anything otherwise.

[@oldschoolfoil2365]

Great design but cant stand creed and nickel backs voice its sounds horrible to my ears its so worn out from airplay over the years and depressing but love your heater mate

[@arnoldcustom]

is that welding, looks more like bird shit

[@RickWeberSR]

C'mon.. you had to play creed here, didn't you? For crap sakes.
