Intensive hands-on fuel management in forests is phenomenally fruitful. Forests thrive by human care, and it is a job that is a stick-by-stick decision making process, weeding, rubbish removal, planting new valuable species everywhere ae all hands-on tasks, and most importantly, a delicate personal touch is essential, but most importantly, careful harvesting, and then using the materials harvested as a renewable resource. Humus is the cornerstone of soil health, the precise opposite of the utter ruin that results from burning.
Finally some modern spins on that old tech. They cry about wild fires, they cry about dirty energy, this is a solution. It can even run our vehicles.
Im having so much fun with this. The guys at driveonwood.com are so helpful! already they are in touch with me sharing their ideas on how to improve that flame
MAKING the charcoal is a gasifying process.

@@kenbellchambers4577 Yes yes yes! Im going to pin this comment of yours Ken
@@kenbellchambers4577 depends where you are, and the species of tree, the fuel load, and the type of burn. Controlled burning has been used in n america for at least 3,000 years, as a means of controlling brush, and fuel load. Only in the last century has fire suppression caused massive fuel buildup, resulting in uncontrollable fires that due to their intense heat, essentially fire the soil like clay, creating ideal conditions for rapid runoff, and subsequent flooding. There are towns that had wildfire evacuations, and flood evacuations, in the same month, and landslide hazards from clearcut logging 2 months later. I totally agree that personal care and attention are essential for sustainable forestry, the exact opposite of corporate clearcutting, monoculture plantation replanting, and suppressiòn of everything but the marketable, highly flammable pine, using glyphosate aerial spraying. It's criminally wasteful and destructive.
Very Interesting!
My grandparents used to always talk about how my grandfather avoided going to WWII because he had a transport business and his Trucks were Fitted with Charcoal Burners.
He could go between The country town they lived in and Sydney which was 200 miles on only 1 Pint of petrol with a fully laden Truck. Being classified as an essential service having contracts with the government, he got a lot of other perks where rations were concerned and were a lot better off than most people.
He kept another family going as well as he had them certified as his Charcoal suppliers so they were essential as well.
Grandad said he never minded dirt or rough roads as it meant he didn't have to get out and stoke the fire, the Bumps did that for him.
They were always very fond of Charcoal burners and I think Grandad was always secretly on the lookout for one to use for something 30 years later.
Looking forward to seeing you run an engine on this and if you could show some sort of filter before the engine just to illustrate if the gas is clean or has any residues to it.
Great vid and very well narrated and edited!
Thanks Glumpy! Im having a great time with this. Ill be doing several more videos including Charcoal making and running engines. Eventually, Ill make a larger one and run my V8 Land Rover on it
For other versions of this type of system, look for wood gas systems on TH-cam. There are many videos showing how to build them in all sizes
Absolutely amazing to me as i wouldn't have a clue where to even begin 👏 where would the human race be without men like yourself. Fantastic job well done
That made me smile! thank you. But my 92 year old mum is still my biggest fan 🥰
my grandfather had a woodstove car
Several years ago, there was a tv series called “The Colony”. People were in a post-apocalyptic situation. One of the guy Ms on the show was an engineer. He built a wood gasifier point of their junk and was able to great fuel with it that ran a car.
absolutely! - thats what I want to help you do. Ill post all my successes and all my fails
That is so cool and very applicable in the times at which we live.
Well done sir👍👏
Nice build.
Love watching your videos. Inspiring and accessible. Not even sure, now, how I found you?! Anyhow, you remind me of my Dad in his younger days, always tinkering on projects. Seemed there was nothing he couldn't fix/mend/create.
Hey thanks- another one on this gasifier coming up in a day or two- Its starting to run well now.
nice build
I saw an old news report from the 70s from England and they were running a car on system about the same size as this. Cheers Graham
Hi Graham- was it the convertible top Ford Capri? I saw that recently. Yes it was a small system- would not have had a lot of range.
@@t.h.o.r. I think it was
There's quite a few conversions, one guy was able to drive in and out of town from the woods, as long as it would as prepped.
I've seen people store the wood gas in propane tanks and use it a year later.
Why we don't combine fuels, supplement wood gas or hydrogen to.make gasoline a more efficient burn is beyond me

Good onya mate
Wow!
It needs some dialling in - but the guys at www.driveonwood.com are a huge help. A couple more runs and Ill connect it to the generator and make free power
super clever, uk
Thank you, but the concept is 150 years old.☺
I so need to build one of these to run my generator for the welder and plasma cutter..
Thats why Im doing it, My solar complaains when I run the 200 amp welder or the plasma
@@t.h.o.r. Im looking to move to the edge of the grid or beyond if I have to... I almost had only cabin on the Mtn 8mi from a road.. I also love the irony of doing metal fab powered by wood lol...
Can't wait

Would love to talk sometime. I'm born and breed in nz. Stoke
I designed and built a charcoal retort that uses focused sunlight as its heat source.
As chunk wood is heated anaerobically (no oxygen) it off- gasses through a small tube.
Those off gasses will run an internal combustion engine (lawnmower engine).
awesome- you have a video?
@@t.h.o.r. Nope
Great Vid Offgrid! Could One add a top-vented Dutch Oven full of hardwood on the coals to boost your gas & generate charcoal? Just a thought 🤔. Hey-whatever happened to the PET Plastic Distiller. Do you still run it? I’ve got 2 H2O pressure tanks here ‘& 1 is to become a smoker & debating Woodgas or Distiller, as I have a diesel Truck & gas generators.
Appreciate you sharin’ what yer doin’ & what yer learnin’ along the way.

woodgas generator , yeah it exist for a while
in the war they even powered cars with it
If you had an ignition prt in the flare tube, lower down, and the flare tube was of heavier stock, to retain heat...? Maybe an ignition tube from the primary flame to the flare tube?
the flare is just to test the gas, once the gas is combustable its turned off, with the fan and the engine then pulls the gas through
Got a request. You have to react to October ends ' new song, it's mind-blowing!
Thats a slick setup man looks really fancy , although that flame doesn't look that clean to be used for a generator 😅. Do you use charcoal as fuel? This should give a blue flame right away
👍
Man i cant wait ro biy my land. I have so many projects i want to do for free power its ridiculous.
hahahaha I know just what you mean. I wish that I had a stream so I could play with hydro too
@@t.h.o.r. yessss I gotta have a water source nearby. Even would try sand batteries 🔋
Where did you get the ceramic nozzles from
they are tig welding nozzles all explained in the build video th-cam.com/video/VFMoln8PL5w/w-d-xo.html
kiwi in victoria ?
Wood sorting trommel or dirt sorting trommel?
Ill be using it for charcoal, mushroom substrate and compost- I should have made one years ago- Ive been using a hand held sieve
@@t.h.o.r. cool! The last one I had a hand in building was built out of a Mack cement mixer! To separate the rocks and sticks out of topsoil.
You need a smaller nozzle. That is waaaaaayy to big. You are not getting the volocity that you need to penitrate into the core of the reaction. You are just going to make lots of Co2 without conversion and it will run cold
I see that is your igntion port. Yeah get this lit and as soon as your nozzles can take over get that port shut off as soon as possilble. That is consuming your char down to ash prematurely. But I also think your nozzle on top is too big. It should 1 inch or less for engnines under 500cc.
@@Thrive-Off-Grid Thanks Matt- Thats an easy fix. Ill do it today. my nozzle just screws on so that I can experiment. I was dismayed that the flame was so orange
@@t.h.o.r. Are you injecting or adding water? H2 dont burn blue it burns as orange an orange. Only lab grade H2 will burn blue. The H2 that is produced in a gasifier is actually H2s its not pure. Generally when you see a " blue" flare this is a high concentration of CO and generally weak gas. When you see Orange this is not bad or does it mean tar is produced. Tar also will turn the flare Orange / Yellow but its a different color than H2. If you note the flare is puffy looking; this is the water reforming in the flare and then flashing back to steam. So that is a sign that its H2 and not tar. Violet / Pink colors are a healthy wood gas flare this is just a good mix of H2 CH4 and CO all mixed together.
I dont pay any attention to flare color anymore, Ive learned it dont matter. At the end of the day if there is no tar' its working . So whats it matter.
😉👍😂
Well Done! I watched the build first and this one second.
Nice to see it working!
Hate the name. Ain't no 1.21 jigawatts there. ;) Definitely not a green solution. How much more efficient is your model than those from 1839 and 1900?
This comment ☝️ brought to you by the author of the bestselling book: "Constructive TH-cam Commenting 101" 😅
There is no green solution, it a sustainable solution. Their intention is not a green solution, sustained fear.
@@paulstrouth1306 yep 👍
how much did your FREEenergy machine cost you to build???? including labor!
Where is the eye rolling emoji when you need it?
So you need fuel, not free then
If you have trees- you have trimmings. I never paid for firewood in 20 years.
Sure wreck your nice tree, duh.
No. The best wood to collect is deadfall -- it's already begun drying. Spend some time in a forest and you'll notice the forest floor has soooo much deadfall, some old and some fresh.
And please don't start in about depriving bugs of wood and depriving birds of bugs. Endless criticism gets old.
There is a tiny percent of people that troll through You Tube videos lookin for things to complain about. Its a reflection of their happiness
