Beautiful work. I love to see the patience, skill, and thought you have put into the project. I always look forward to seeing your updates. Thanks for the show. Joe
Looking good, as always. I use stones in my gasser, just as you have here. Sure enough, they help to separate the water from the gas, while starting the cooling process. Ultimately, you could use those stones as a sort of weed control system, as I wood imagine that nothing wood want to grow around them, once they are fully laden with used woodwatts :) .
Countercurrent heat exchange on your condensers would be very useful. Just put that whole condensing apparatus into a larger tube with a hole on the top and bottom, pump water into the big tube so it cools the shell of the condenser. You could also use this as the hot gas leave the cyclone.
for next time how about this , drill a hole in the middle of the square plates, drill a hole in the saw support you made , put a bolt through and make perfectly round disks that way :)
Nice build. Watching your machine come together is inspiring. I’m collecting parts for my own version today. I’m hoping to run my 86 honda 1100 vtwin with wood gas. So my build is very weight conscious with a target of less than 70 lbs added.
Thanks mate, yes I must admit it weighs a ton, that's funny I have been thinking about a wood gas powered bike, either on back or in sidecar, you should do some videos, cheers
Very tidy build and another step closer to flare up day/night , one thing i have to say is coming from an engineering family i am the black sheep and cant even draw a straight line to save my life let alone cut one , but one thing i picked up on is , don't use WD40 it isn't a great lubricant my dad used to use bacon fat or lanolin for cutting and tapping and when he was cutting threads with a chaser box on the capstan
Cool with the stones I would put them I a pipe just a smaller than the other pipe that way when cleaning you just slide it out from bottom of pipe without taking the top lose
Well done mate. Have you done an overview video of what you it will look like completed ? I'd like to see how you are going to run the mitsy Engin to produce electricity. Also love to see hiw you do a leak test on a system of this size.
Thanks mate, overall video, no. Due to cost increases, learning as I go along, the build is evolving some what, as for the leak test, yeah that'll be interesting, lots of soapy water about, cheers
Again another awesome video. Raining outside so I'm binge watching. Looking for a gasifier for Begasses. (Fire logs made from sugar cane waste) any idea what entry temperature of the gas going into the condenser is likely to be ? Is it worth harvesting for hor water?
Thanks, rough guess, around 300 ish, did consider using waste heat to heat water, but it'll be a long run from gasifier to hot water tank, which is solar heated, cheers
You mentioned the pivots on the condensers for emptying out the rocks... How does that work with the PVC caps at the bottom? Was that just to spray from underneath or did I miss something?
G'day, the PVC caps are there to prevent the stones from falling into the collection vessel below, when you empty the stones the PVC caps come out too, cheers
I like that you explain things as you go. That is much better content than someone who doesnt speak.
Thanks, I missed your comment, yeah just sharing it, I find it helpful when others do it too, cheers
This is an epic build, I really hope it works as well as it looks. Very well done, can't wait to see it run!!!
Thanks mate, me too,

Thanks mate
@@whathappensintheshed how do you plan to filter the gas
@@andrzejbakun1750 There will be a straw / foam filter after the condensers, cheers
Looks like you had some fun with is project.
you do nice work man , looking forward to seeing the unit running 👋
Já estou ansioso aguardando o funcionamento desse gaseificado, parabéns pelo trabalho
I liked your schematic. Helpful
Thanks Man.
Thanks, no worries

Thanks mate, I hope the stones won't get too dirty, easy to clean, one way to find out, cheers
Outstanding detail 😎
Thanks mate
You could make a circle cutting jig for those diameters you hand cut.
Saves time adds accuracy / precision
Yes you're not wrong, I might have come up with something in future, cheers

You could also use this as the hot gas leave the cyclone.
I did consider a tube heat exchanger but went for a more passive bulk mass type, provided I won't need water spray, cheers
for next time how about this , drill a hole in the middle of the square plates, drill a hole in the saw support you made , put a bolt through and make perfectly round disks that way :)
That's not a bad idea, hmm something to think about, thanks mate

Thanks mate, I normally use Sutton cutting fluid, WD40 is convenient and good at removing metal shavings from the cut, cheers

Thanks mate, that's a good idea, cheers
Hello
I want to ask if Can it be continues?
Thank you
Very nice work
I think so, but there is always the water spray option if it gets too hot

@@whathappensintheshed Cool thanks for explaining!
Do you think you could add a charcoal chamber?
Do you mean for filtration? I guess I could, but there will be a bulk filter after the condensera
