When we concern ourselves with carbon emissions, we are looking at carbon being added to the atmosphere by means of fossil fuels harvested from within the crust of the planet. Burning wood only recycles carbon that would otherwise be found in nature and expelled into our atmosphere eventually anyway. It surprisingly does not add to our carbon footprint! I know thats surprising, but I heard a climatologist stating that the other day.

They did this in WW2 to power their autos when there was no gasoline. Cap n Trade may force people to do this sort of thing.

I think he’s right about future individual energy producers. I’ve had some ideas for this for a long time. Probably should get back to the drawing board soon. Great inspirational vid. thanks

yea but you get Bio-char instead of regular charcoal so its good in either your grill or out on your vegetable patch

actually you do end up with charcoal, if you get ash then that means that there is oxygen getting into your combustion chamber and your not producing wood gas

Si todos nosotros quemaramos leña para generara electricidad o calentar nuestra casa,desapareceria toda la madera del planeta en poco tiempo. De cualquier modo buen trabajo. Nice job but burning wood you don´t take care of the planet.

Ash. If you are getting charcoal, there is an incomplete burn.

Do you obtain charcoal, after gasify wood? Or remains only ash?

CapitanoGUC, gasification is the second stage of wood burning that releases flammable gases to be ignited by something like a combustible engine. Please if you dont want to try or suggest to others to try it then stfu and allow those of us that are doing, help those that want to learn.

Restoring industrial hemp to its rightful place in agriculture today will return much control to our farmers, and away from the multinational corporations that dominate our political process and destroy our environment. These capital-intensive, non-sustainable industries have usurped our economic resources and clear-cut huge tracts of the world’s forests, given us massive oil spills, wars, toxic waste, massive worldwide pollution, global warming and the destruction of entire ecosystems.

Well presented and definitely worth watching. It’s nice to see something with a practical application being shown.
It’s nice to get away from the “something for nothing” and “over unity” idiots so often seen on YouTube, plus you gave potential makers some insight into the fact that they will need some skills and tools to make this.
10/10 Rated, with pleasure.
I just love your carburettor That was imaginative.

Ah ok then, thanks, what is the best fuel to use as i just made a small one (1L) and had a small wood/fire lighter fire going and this was insufficient…?

The external heat source comes in the form of a burning piece of paper or a torch. Once the coal are lit, the fuel (wood) provides the heat needed to break the rest of the wood down into burnable gases.

how do you make a gasifier without having an external heat source?
