Dry your grass clippings and then run your lawn mower on the power of LAWN!

[@MatrixWarrior98]

Yes, infinite mowing 😎

[@isatntt]

@@joeydr1497 it's kind of self sufficient if you just leave the grass clippings on your lawn and let it grow back into the soil, especially since if you burn the grass it'll cause gasses which are bad for the environment and wouldn't burn nearly as good as wood

[@Broadcast1Channel]

Colin's delight at the thing starting suggests just how difficult this is to get working in any way.

[@J.R.jr-pc7bo]

I agree. You can also see he's not being fake like some youtubers out there, his delight is genuine! His genuineness and his antics are the whole reason I follow.

[@doodlepugg]

Nah, he just gets excited at everything. Like getting force fed cake. Or bursting through the wall of a caravan 😆

[@andreww8595]

It's because he's allowing oxygen into the destructive distillation process. I've done what he's doing, and it's much more successful in a simpler format. If you look up how it was done during WWII to run buses and cars you'll see what I mean. Allowing oxygen into the pyrolysis chamber is creating a flame front and burning some of the Syngas. A sealed fuel chamber with a single output will push expanding hot gas out when sufficiently heated. The gas is then filtered, and THEN you mix in air right before the carburettor. Colin's very well constructed device is mixing oxygen before the gas has been sufficiently cooled, and it's partially combusting.

Gasification has always fascinated me because it seems like such a simple, easy concept at first, but in practice take quite a bit of knowledge and experience in particular in order to make an actual working, reliable system. The key seems to be cooling the gas down enough (without using water) via a seemingly comical amount of surface area (via tubes forming a radiator) to air cool the gas.

Filtering the gas trough a saturated saline solution would dry the gas, cool it and remove any water soluble impurity, then a activated charcoal filter will remove tar. Steel wool in a copper pipe should work great as a distiller for heavy stuff coming directly from the burner, but would require frequent maintenance. Impressive how much energy there is in wood.

[@matt32_exe57]

11:05 Try and bubble the gas through a liquid like a water. This should catch most of the tar to avoid damaging the engine. The steam produced by burning the wood gas is actually not relevant to whether the wood is dry or not, but instead water vapour is produced when wood decomposes, which is what the gasifier gadget does, and it doesnt matter how dry the wood is because the water vapour will still be there. Again, bubbling the gas through water may fix this (haven't tried it myself so I have no idea) and hopefully clean the gas up substantially. I would like to see this project get revisited and tried again because I do have hope for this concept.

This is awesome. You could try running your tubing through a reservoir of cold or liquid to cool the gas and cause the tar to accumulate faster before it makes it into the engine while having a vertical run before entering the engine manifold. If it works, it could help keep the tar build up out of the engine but it will just be building up in the coil windings that run through the water. Maybe make that part quickly interchangeable so you can place a new piece while setting the other in solvent to remove tar build up. I wonder if it would be possible to skip the coil windings through water all together and figure out how to possibly use the cooling liquid itself as a filter. Possibly a plexiiglass reservoir filled with cold water which has the inlet of wood gas at the bottom of the reservoir and the outlet with the cleaner air to the engine, at the top of the container. I would figure that the colder the water, the better the coagulation and build up of tar there would be, therefore better filtration. It would be a good experiment to see if adding soap to the filter water would affect filtration.

Skip the combustion engine. Burn the wood from the bottom and put the air in the bottom. New wood needs to be stacked very high on top and will capture all the ash and tar. This means the tar will be burned later too. Then ignite the wood gas in the exhaust stream by providing air and a heat source and heat the bottom of the a cylinder of a sterling engine. The other side of the engine can be cooled with a deep well water which is pumped in a cycle. Should be nearly quite, smoke-free and by introducing oxygen into the exhaust stream very early you avoid that sud will collect in the chimney.

3 long years I've been waiting for the bunker sequel to this project...

[@gwendalvonk3929]

Great vid ! I think the first design could have been good enough. The tar issue is because you filled the reactor with 100% wood. To make it work normally, either you have to fill the reactor with charcoal, from the grate until the air intake. And the rest you can add wood Or if you fill with 100% wood, you have to wait until the wood below the air intake is converted into charcoal, in other words you have to pyrolyse the wood below the air intake, which produces a lot of water and tar during this period. Once the wood is converted into charcoal, the gas will be good and clean, and you can turn on the engine !

ash is ash even when its a liquid, when ash melts and forms glass like structure is called slag

[@Mk5mod0]

Looks like a solid system. I don’t know how much pressure that gas afire puts out but I suggest a water gas cleaner to remove the tar.

[@dritter7051]

what is a water gas cleaner? i mean if you pump gas through water it gets cooled but not cleaned 🤔

[@raelik777]

@@dritter7051 Yeah, plus you'll add unwanted water vapor to the gas AND you'll dissolve some of the volatile hydrocarbons that you want to burn into the water. Neither of which you want to do. The wood gas needs to stay far, far away from additional moisture, so you're looking at an intercooler/radiator design. Can't be aluminium either, the wood gas will corrode that.

[@Mk5mod0]

David Ritter the idea is that as the gas bubbles through the water it transfers certain contaminants into the water. (In this case hopefully tar)

[@maclayyc]

On smelters, tar is cleaned from the gas by passing through wet venturi throats and cyclones

[@raelik777]

@@maclayyc True, but that gas isn't subsequently burned in a reciprocating piston engine for power.

I think this guy's neighbour has seen weirder stuff than a mower with some plumbing on top. He build a giant fan-powered 360 degree swing in that same garden (along with, you know, hoverbikes and a swimming pool in a car and a flamethrower moped and several pulsejets and all that other stuff)

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

What's kinda wild is that humans have found a use for every output of a simple woodfire: -the smoke contains wood-gas (flammable gaseous fuel source) and tar (rudimentary waterproofing, construction binder and adhesive), smoke can also be used to dry and preserve food. -the ash can in some cases be used either to make lye (can be mixed with rendered animal fat and water to make soap) or turned into a type of clay/cement for mortaring bricks together. -charcoal is another fuel source of course, as well as a source of black dye, as a writing/drawing medium, as a dry lubricant for some machinery, and in some specific cases used to purge toxins from your system if consumed (I think). -it produces light and heat of course Really puts into perspective how valuable the domestication of fire was for early humans.

Ah man, you missed it! It should run off grass, not wood! It would be a self-sustaining, self-feeding system! 😂

[@naerbo19]

Would take more energy to take out the water of the grass than you get from the grass I imagine.

[@Tua_B]

It wouldn't be as useful as dry wood The higher the moisture content The less it produces gas and the more it produces unwanted tar and vice versa
