Wood Gasifier Builder's Workshop: V3 Assembly Animation

[@blacksheep-oi5zs]

Killer vid. I saw what @victory gas works had to say about you. He is not producing content like this and I think its best to keep doing your own thing.

[@mr.obvious4371]

Hey Steve nice video just completed one of the V3 models Works great! Keep on keeping on any shade tree mechanic can build a gasifier you just need some parts little bit of understanding & you're producing carbon neutral self-sustaining petroleum !

[@ThePandaBeat]

This is awesome. Everything about this rocks. I want two, for me and a friend's homestead, but I don't live in the USA and shipping and taxes would make this impossible to afford...

@ThePandaBeat Do you reside in Europe?

[@flytrapguy7431]

If you haven't yet, check out a channel called Randomn (yes its spelled that way) the guy built a smaller scale less complex version. Might need to add an extra filter, I'm looking to make one myself.

[@Сергій-ч1ъ]

дякую 👉👉👉👉👉💯❣️ P.S. 💙💛☘️🍀✨

[@danielmiller8490]

How does the filter work? Is it filled with something that needs to be replaced?

[@steveoffgrid485]

Its a multi-stage filter, course material (straw, haw, chips, etc.), medium foam (30ppi) and fine foam (60 ppi), course material is replaced, foam filters can be cleaned and resused

[@taniapulella9182]

Hi well done... how can I get hold of the drawings.. like to build my own.

[@fraid5508]

very nice vid thank you very much!

[@denverbevins4052]

Nice work!

[@lionelscott5839]

The color of the burning flare looks very yellow,my question is it the gas clean enough to run a gas motor ? I understand from watching other units that the flame need to be blue to indicate it is suitable for powering a internal combustion engine .

[@steveoffgrid485]

There are a lot of factors that relate to the color of the gas. Color is not an indication of the quality of the gas. Engine (high) quality gas is created at very high temperatures that are required to crack the tars and burn off the contaminants in the gas. Filtration removes any remaining contaminants. Heating (low) quality gas is made at much lower temperatures and still contains tars and contaminants which can harm an engine. This gasifier produces engine quality wood gas.

I like the music, can almost imagine the Riverdance group dancing..

[@stevejorgensen8123]

very nice artwork, but it seems to me that the lid should be turn 180, so it would be easier to operate the lid handle. hope someone builds this and show us the working model.

[@steveoffgrid485]

The lid bolts on so the user can orient it either way

[@Dream.big.dreams]

That’s a very nicely done video very impressive my only advice is that maybe speed it up a little faster for the nuts and bolts and there’s a section where you added something to the bottom at the beginning and then at the end you added that same component again. Which was connected to that motor which I’m assuming is a motorized shaker. Which is a brilliant addition. That’s what I did for mine a few years ago. Got any ideas on how to build a large one that I don’t have to deal for a full year? One where I can just dump a huge quantity of wood chips from say a tree removal company and leave it alone for a full year running unattended.

[@jakeburkett8529]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oae1fGOieJaIgc0 You'd need to build something like this. Augers/conveyor to bring in new material when it gets low and sensors to know when the material is low. It also needs 2 doors that open and shut at the same time to prevent new air flow. Augers/conveyor to remove the ash. Sensors to tell it when the ash is full so it can shut the ash depository off and open the other end, so you don't introduce air from a different source again. You'd also need to design a computer of some kind to run it all. You'll also need very very large collection containers for the tar and oil that gets left behind. You'd also need the ability to rotate new material though the filter and that system needs to be air tight as well. Finally you would need failsafe sensors that shuts down the entire system incase one of your other sensors fails or if it gets too hot in certain areas.

[@jakeburkett8529]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/laq4i4WLhdGsl5Y This guy built a pretty impressive ash remover grate agitator. Its not on the level you want but it sure does work wonders over the above design.

[@jakeburkett8529]

Sorry for the triple post kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWqpKhml7GsqLs This guy shows how he made a small computer out of PIC micro components, an o2 sensor off a car and a motor to auto adjust intake air content of the engine. You could use a another similar set up to auto adjust the engine throttle based on current power levels of your batteries to help with load adjustments (if you're running into a battery bank that is). Your idea is feasible for a couple days non-stop non intervention running at the very least.

[@iftikharwasi7624]

What is price

[@steveoffgrid485]

send email request to [e-mail]

[@rockskipper5353]

whats the price for the kid ? your website doesn't say

Beautiful cad animation but looks way to expensive for me to build

[@rohangoolcharan3942]

Good day, do you sell these, I'm looking for a unit that can power a generator to produce approx 250KW of power

[@steveoffgrid485]

This design can support a generator from about 3KW - 25KW. You could go larger by configuring multiple units in a 'teamed' configuration, but 250KW would be unrealistic.

[@FrankensteinDIYkayak]

impressive animation. has anyone thought of using a Dr. Arduino computer for a more precise control system? how many of the parts can be made either from easily available stock sices or from existing hardware like propane tanks and such?

[@steveoffgrid485]

Yes, and stayed tuned. I am in the process of testing our new Automation-Control-System (ACS), using Arduino boards for a modular, automated control for the gasifier, generator and remote display.

[@FrankensteinDIYkayak]

@@steveoffgrid485 find a way to make sure I see the video on it.

[@mihigyver]

that looks super complex.. are you sure that it isn't posible in a simpler way?

[@cesarfarias4219]

Bom 👍
