Gasifier Stove

This is a video of a home-built wood-gas stove that was built by a project committee of a Sustain Jefferson, a Natural Step community. It demonstrates a downdraft-stratified gasifier.
Where can I find the plans for it ?
..everyone keeps on thinking about “run a car on it, run a car on it”… I see no one ever got the REAL point of what a gasifier can do: please, leave that “I can run a car on it” alone! even if it could be done (and many people already did), that’s not the point.
why dont you wait till winter for your next test ?
@sspence65 partisan politics in general are the real boogeymen here!
@rain4fuel … i dont think the “hippy” comment is necessary or accurate.
@sololamer i think INCREASED efficiency is the point here that they are demonstrating
@wolf13011 They had cars that ran on wood gas in world war two!
Wow, came across this video via reddit and you guys totally rock! I thought I knew everything about biomass heating methods and had never heard of this one. This is something I’d like to try in the future!
They are probably working on it now… but if our societal system breaks down, this is one of the technologies that can be replicated easily by any competent mechanic. Plus it’s fun to work on and has been a rallying point for our cadre of alternative thinkers.

You are most welcome.
We use a 12 volt automotive heater fan. It’s kind of wimpy though, and we’re looking for something about twice as powerful.

Glad this helped,

I have a question how long will be until the oil, gas, and elecity companies, use the government to put a stop to these systems, as they get no alot of money from these companies as revenue but shit loads. I even know how they will do it. Government safety regulation inspections, then comes registration fees, then out right tax. liittbug206 is right. It will go the way of the electric car.
@litterbug206 don’t say that even if it is true lol you beat me to it
ok so ur burning wood to make hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
Just burn the wood and get warm.
I have a pellet stove and the pellet’s gasifi real nice.
Around $5.00 for 40 lbs. goes a long way and is compact easy to store
Good explaination. Thank you.
wow all u did was burned wood chips and u can run a gas engine on this i have i idea to use 1 of these with a modifided compresser to compress the gas so i can run a car on it for less than gasoline
I have built my own Gasifier and it will be finished this weekend finall touches left . it will run a 350 chevy engine like your video had same trouble with moister.
@benjamincheney AKA, one that I agree with.
I think the old man was going to add the yippy dog to the burn barrel until he saw the camera.
now the greedy obama kabul will tax it
could you tell me what did you use for a blower
This is a great way to run an electric generator when no gasoline or oil is available as a fuel.
We have an gasbed technology
burning prosess
if yoy want you can see this in my

I know you guys are from Wisconsin, but you sure sound Canadian. Good work on the unit – your voiceover also cleared up some things I didn’t understand from the FEMA plans.
