Wood gasifier build.
? on: June 25, 2013, 07:46:45 AM ?
I haven't been able to start on building a cabin yet but I have been working on a little project. I am in the end stages of building a wood gasifier. It needs cleaned up and a little paint, and I'm still working on trying different filter set ups but it works!! I ran a10hp wood chipper on it for the first time on Saturday.

This is the video of the wood chipper running on it. I think it will be greator a generator also.

This was the first and only time I have tried running an engine on it so far. I was very excited!

I plan to use this unit to run a generator during power outages at the house. I can use the wood chipper to make my own fuel which I can get for free (tree limbs and such). I think it will be perfect for off grid when I build a cabin. I plan to have a small solar set up but to run power tools, water pumps and such I think this will work good. I should be able to run a 6-8000w generator with it.

Thank you for the kind words Rick :) my wife thinks I'm a little crazy but most of my friends think it's pretty cool. There are a few guys that want to come over next time I run it and see how it works [cool]
