I'm new here

[Grampa Tom]

Thankyou for allowing m,e into the fold so to speak.I was directed here by Steve U. whom I've had much positive interaction with concerning wood gas & gasifirers.I met Him online through Victory Gas Works.Steve directed me here because I have ran the HRG 25 hp Listers mentioned on the forum on wood gas.

Welcome Tom!

Glad to have another experienced woodgas and Lister experimenter! We have a large quantity of HRG twins and triples in Kansas as well as a major parts inventory for them - everything that VARCO had plus a full dealer inventory or two. Are you currently running the HRs? And what problems have you had to overcome? Notable successes?

welcome to the crew Tom, sorry if it took a few days to get you approved.

Ade V, has been ill and i have been busy on other stuff, so getting some of the forum stuff done
has taken longer than usual.

that is my fault,

hope you like it here, look forward to hearing about your project(s)

Tom,

Welcome! Hows about a little info on your gasifier? I'm building one, so I'm hungry for all real world data!

Welcome!   Looking forward to hearing more data from your woodgas project.   

I have a GEK gasifier from APL in Berkeley.   Haven't done anything with it in a long time.   Steve Unruh came down and we played w/ it  a few years ago.   Things have changed a lot with gasifiers since then.   

Glad to have you here.

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the gang of "experimenters".

Hey TomL.
Good to see you made it.
The woodgas topic boards are about 2/3rds the way down.
Lots of actual offgrid and PV solar guys and info like you here too.
MarcusB hosts an associated picture loadable site.
And it is possible to post pictures onto messages here if someone will hand lead you through the 6-8 step procedure.

Yep Marcus a lot of water has gone below the woodgasification bridge with woodgasification designs in the last three years. Some very advanced stuff out there now. Problem is most of those are not now DYI feasible anymore and $$,$$$ to buy now.

Thats where you come in TomL. your stuff still is.

Enjoy All. And a Happy New Year.
SteveU.

Welcome Tom!

Gasification is a very basic technology that lends itself to self sufficiency
like nothing else can. Zero G and I built a prototype Gosselein G3 a while back
and it worked quite well, I'm about ready to get back at it.

Lets talk Gas down below

WOW so many replies to answer. 1stly Thanks again for taking me in ,I was surprised  be on line here so soon at this time of year.I don't have a lot of hands on gasifieing but I had success on my very first build,there are three video's on youtube, our channel is ushillbillies showing what we accomplished with that build.Turns out that the gas had a very high tar content which seemed not to bother the smaller engines but plugged the Lister with tar to the point of no compression,My brother has several of these engines,he wanted the twin back ,so I traded him for a triple(he dose't no it has no compresson)...brotherly love ya know...HAHHAHA .  I am now half way through reworking an advanced version based on the IMBERT drawing..but I have been bogged down with making a living,we about 100 miles south of the the Alberta oilsands on the only highway to get there on.I have several pictures I can post & one video of the new shaker on our youtube channel .There are some pics on the yahoo woodgas site to if some one wanted see them there.I hope this gives some insite into me & where I'm at..
