    What a nice old man... It's a shame we lose these people. Such wisdom and knowledge they've accumulated with age... experiences that can never be replaced. It's too bad that often we in modern society don't respect our elders, and simply wish to put them up in a nursing home :/

    Woodgas is good gas.
    It produces nearly all of the electric power I use here during the winter.
    Having seen the advantages offered by this old technology, I will never go back to using petrol for a generator :) .

    With some friends i used to restore old army vehicles. Once we build a gasifier to made from oil drums.
    We managed to run a 6.5L 6 Cyl Truck engine on in although the whole system was not really completed yet.
    Unfortunately we never came to finish the project....
    That is until now... i'm trieing to assist a friend of me to try it again to supply a generator.
    Then again... i still own an 1956 army jeep.......

    Little known fact about gasification, they produce bio crude as a waste product.
    Bio crude can be refined into a liquid fuel in an extension of the gasification process, usable in gasoline engines.

    Kudos to the man for maintaining such historic artifact in running state. Please pass on the knowledge and history as you did in this video for future generations. When the gasifier is done with, try to have it rebuilt to like-new specs (by reusing most of the components). I'm certain some machinists would give you their time just for the heck of it.

    So, this begs the question. Like diesel vs WVO does this kill the Ozone layer? If not... how sustainable is it vs gasoline?

    • @grapsorz
      @grapsorz  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      this is used on petrol engines not diesel. this is an old design engine without a catalytic converter so it's not so good for the ozon layer as it is a WW2 design.. STIL it's better then the same engine running on petrol. if you make this as a modern engine it is one of the best emissions out there. just as LPG etc.
      the situation is the same on the diesel side. you need a modern design to make it run rely clean. you can forget VWO on a modern engine.

      As an American, I understood him perfectly well the first time. However, my volume was turned down and I was using subtitles. After seeing some of the comments, I turned the volume up and I still needed the subtitles. I find I need to do this with French, German and Spanish as well. About 25 years ago I was in the UK and realized that English is not really what language I speak since I'm from the Appalachian mountains. Then I was in Germany and everyone I met in Germany speaks better English than me. Whenever I opened my mouth they would raise one eyebrow and say, "West Virginia"?
      That's it, I'm never going anywhere ever again!

    The thing about it is is it's easier to convert to run syngas in an old truck like that then it is to run it in the new trucks with the computers in the f****** all the little parts in there to have to measure oxygen and all that s*** like your oxygen sensor is not going to measure outright with send gas in it so it will run like s*** so if you get ahold of an old truck with a straight-six in it and hook it up on their you've run all over the country on nothing but would you pick up on the side of the road the older and the dryer the woods the better off you are so it doesn't have water in it all wood has water in it the longer it sits them dryer he gets the better it burns the cleaner to fuel you don't need all that stuff in that water and any trees that have just been cut down are the worst because they're full of tar and waterthat doesn't hurt your motor until you shut it down and it cools off and then when your motor cools off all that Target hard and then when you try to start your engine again it won't start because the valves are froze clothes or froze open from all the target dried up inside of there like you said you got to clean your engine if you get too dirty of a fuel if you get any color flames at that is not blue don't start your truck wait till you have a blue flame do you know it's clean these guys who started these generators in there smoke still coming out of the damn exhaust then you know it's dirty don't start your engine those guys do there just ruining their motors

      it's not that hard to do a EFI petrol engine. there is more then one done. the problem is the RPM they r made to work under. modern engines is made to work under higher rpm. you want to have cruse and top speed at 1500-2800rpm. so you need a long stroke engine.
