--Frequently asked questions--
How does it work? See diagram below for each step.
-
Fresh air enters and provides oxygen for the fire burning at the lowest fuel.
-
Fuel is VERY DRY wood chips, woodstove pellets, pinecones, etc.
-
Fire cooks the upper fuel, releasing woodgas.
-
Woodgas passes through the tube.
-
Woodgas sheds heat into the water, removing tar and creosol.
-
Tar, creosol, and water drain into the tar trap.
-
Scrubbed woodgas passes through the particle filter.
-
Clean woodgas is fed to the generator.
-
12 volts is fed to the battery bank.
-
Battery bank charges.
-
12 volts is fed to the 120 volt AC inverter.
-
The inverter powers your equipment; lighting, refrigeration, cooling, security, dialysis machine, radio/TV, etc.
What octane gas does it make?
This question comes from thinking that gasifiers make liquid gas. It does not. It makes hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and a few others. Octane is not measured for woodgas.
