Great stuff - looks very compact the unit on the Deer...was wondering where the burner basket is located- is it in the middle or down near the bottom? I see the gas outlet is right below the middle section. Cheers
So…you can use fuel from the gasifier to run the chipper, to make wood chips, to burn in the gasifier, to run an engine, to make electricity, so you can play the electric guitar. Better crank up the volume. I couldn’t hardly hear it! That’s awesome!
Jimi Hendrix used to sacrifice his guitar live on stage by spraying lighter fluid on it then setting it on fire....this guy sacrifices his electric guitar by putting it thru the wood chipper and burning it in his gasifier!
Wood Gas, because there is so much nitrogen in it, has less power available to the engine, but still can do much work. see Wayne Keith's videos th-cam.com/channels/PrGPvL1Y_5cB9UNgoz78Ng.html
I have quite a few videos of our machines under load. In general you can expect to get about 50% of the engines gasoline rated power output. I currently run our full manufacturing on a new much more advanced version of what you see here.
@@Thrive-Off-Grid What if you had a larger gasifier on it? Is it the fuel source that lacks or the volume of fuel? And can the gas be "enriched" for more burn power?
@@minnesotamarine9861 it has nothing to do with the volume. The engine can only suck in so much volume and the gasifier has plenty of gas to offer. it has to do with gas energy density, The energy of the gas composition is fairly linear form one gasifier to another. Gas volumes can fluctuate but generally not more than 5% If you go to a bigger gasifier then it will no longer be sized correctly for the engine and you will under drive it and it will make tar then you will be rebuilding the engine. I no longer build direct wood gasifiers. Charcoal is much easier fuel and once you crunch all the numbers its actually more efficient fuel to produce. When you chip fuel the chipper will require energy, it will generator a waste yield and then the gasifier will use 30% of your net just for its process. This will come to more than 50% of your raw feed stock. When you produce charcoal you can easily achieve a 50% yield. water drip will nearly cancel out the energy used in processed. Tar is now eliminated and they run far more stable and are way less complex. Its just better tech all around. The gas is so clean you can run turbo. wood gas will destroy a turbo in a heart beat. If you want more power you simply get a larger engine that will meet your application. its as simple as that. You really should be using a battery bank with this anyways. Then this is not problem as you get the big power from your storage and inverter system. The gasifier engine system then only needs to average it. Additionally you can build a gasometer and use this stored gas to run LP / NG appliances. Then you get rid of the energy conversions running an engine then converting to storage then converting back to AC. With those appliances we can automate a gasifier to self fill a low pressure gasometer to feed these appliances more directly. For instance an on demand hot water heater, LP / ammonia based RV refrigerators, cloths dryers, LP / NG Stoves etc. Now dont need all that battery storage, less solar, engine running etc.
My friend it is now the year 2022 and Joe Biden is in office and trust me things are much worse gas shortage baby milk formula shortage of course I'm not surprised I knew this s*** was coming because the American people don't know how to pick a f****** president with dumb and stupid the first lesson you need to learn don't pick nobody that got ties to Washington to the good old boy Network you pick somebody that's independent and free and you'll be good
Did NOT see the 'clean blue' flame required to run the engine on the John Deere? Nor did we see it start. Nor did we see it die when the supposed 'wood gas' supply handle is turned off??
I didnt have good dry fuel. However a gasifier does not produce a Blue flare. Here in this video indeed that was dirty gas but that JD dont care that thing drank tar and loved it. LOL But back to the flare. The H2 produced from any gasifier is not pure, generally H2 will burn orange. In a lab with a pure grade of H2 you will see a pale blue but even with electrolysis Ive never seen it burn blue it always burned an orange color. A good indicator that you are making lots of H2 is the flare may look fluffy, this is water / steam reforming as it oxidizes. CO from a gasifier will burn a brilliant blue color and its beautiful to see. But this is weak gas. CH4 will give the flare a violet / pink color. So what you really want to see is a blue base at the flare with violet / pink color with some faint orange. (not like in the video) Even our charcoal systems with water cracking dont produce a blue flare and that gas is clean. These new machines dont even leave any residue at the carb.
Hello, very good video I would like to know if you could pass me the plans of the gasifier I want to make one to install in the house of my parents ... since in that area do not have electricity or heating. Thank you
That's how I fire my truck every morning, much much easier then starting my n straight woodgas. Once the system is warmed up then it can start on wood easy
OK, I have no need to deceive anyone, I have nothing to sell. Perhaps some self-study on wood gasification would help. Here is a video to get you started. There are closed--captions in English. th-cam.com/video/blWVB-JpdEk/w-d-xo.html
I suggest you study up on wood-gasification in Europe before and during WWII. Also, here is a link to a Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_gas_generator
I don't quite understand making wood gas to use in a gas stove to cook with. Call me old fashioned but I just cook over a wood fire. But wood gas to run an engine is soon to become invaluable with the destruction of America
Well Michael cee, what are you going to do when SHTF? When it does and you have no gasoline, no electricity, no propane, no heat, no cooling, no refrigerator, NOTHING - what are you going to do? I cannot wait see your answer. Pre WWII and during that era, woodgas was used in many parts of the world. So hunker down in your beach front condo and wait for the end of your days. You won't last a week.
Electric guitar powered by wood. I have never seen anything cooler!

@@hmartinspliff Thats pretty funny lol.
I'd love to get one. please post manufacture info or info on buying. were you going to work with others to make them?
Its Matt from thriveoffgrid.
Thanks for getting this video!
You are welcome!
My only issue on the mower is the cooling area seems small or may be tough to get air through it to cool sometimes. I guess it depends on the climate.
yup.. needs a bumper style also cooler - + a 5 gal wood chip filter.
Does the uy who powered the John Deer have a video of the building of his gasifier?
That's my thought also. Where's the plans/video. Thanks for the show.
complimenti optimo lavoro ragazi !!!!!
Thank You!

all the demos I've seen show engines running with no load. how well do these setups do when you really start working them?

An orange flame is an indication of impurities.

Hi, I need a small gassifier like that one. Where can I buy one.
i cant weld nor use a cutting torch cause of seizures and have been wanting wood gasifiers. i live on a fixed income. what will it cost me sir
Matt at Thrive off-grid makes these. www.thriveoffgrid.net/
I do not know the cost. Lots of free information at www.driveonwood.com.
Look up the "Constance gasifier". You don't have to weld and all you need to cut out a grate are tin snips.
That's how it usually works. It will run every time until you have on lookers then it wants to act like an asshole
@@chrissi.enbyYT Thanks.
Super ecologia ! !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
sounds like Barricuda???
💜 LOVE IT BROTHER alitte sin ~tech in the wood gas 😆 sin ~tech in the engine might quite it down some too cool . Tks for sharing
Let's rock and wood..!
Must use a genset with twice the output of what you really need. That would probably throw you into a 12 volt battery for starting.
Need starting fluid in the intake
call it ' Barracuda Gasified ROK' !
Отлично!
Still needs an electric pump. Need to find a way to eliminate the electric pump.
good luck
and a guitar amp that runs on doggy smiles .
lol, thought the same xD
Someone should sheath the pipes in beautiful polished aluminum!!
Best
Baseball cap convention. I have never seen anything UN-cooler.
Start on petrol than run on wooden gas
That's how I fire my truck every morning, much much easier then starting my n straight woodgas. Once the system is warmed up then it can start on wood easy
Needs more filtering or you will coke the valves....
He needed to keep the air pump running
