Arnt. I wouldn't say it was sophisticated or difficult to rework a couple of road side microwave ovens. http://home.c2i.net/metaphor/mvpage.html This guy seems to be able to cast metal and talk on his cellphone at the same time. Extra cooling of the magnetrons is essential,the 12volt fans are only $6 each, An awareness of the dangers of stray radiation is useful. A sheet metal enclosure suitably grounded, forming a "Faraday cage" will help. Fluorescent tubes will glow in the presence of such radiation and as you say RFI will prevail if you are careless, Carbon arc furnaces are old technology.and not cheap to run unless you make your own electrodes. I think its great that some of the group are thinking out side the box. GFWHELL

I have brought this matter up on several occasions regarding secondary exposure of thermal energy to the output gas. It seems to me that raising the temperature within a reaction chamber in the absence of oxygen and adding steam through a hollow carbon rod, ..sounds like a nice sophisticated, expensive way to make synthetic as out of that steamy carbon tube. ;o) > the tip of which is producing a plasma can only improve the quality and quantity of usable gas, which will more than compensate for the electrical energy used. There will be a considerable reduction in the flow of air for pyrolysis. In fact commercial plasma reactors do not require any air for combustion the oxygen is derived from steam. Use could be made of the hot exhaust stream from an ICE to torrify the "FUEL" in order to produce the required gas flow through such a reactor, thus claiming much of the thermal energy being wasted. the final product would also produce methanol not tar. I hope to obtain a high enough plasma temperature with the use of micro wave excitation, 2.4 Ghz radiation can travel through some types of refractory. this will cut costs considerably. ..you can contain that MW scale 2.4Ghz radiation so you don't am out mW scale 2.4Ghz WIFI, Bluetooth and cell phone etc ommunications? (Would make a nice revenge for my first ISP ob though, we were WIFI-based and were jammed out of business y Telenor's home WIFI routers.) -- .med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ..with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ asification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page ttp://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: ttp://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/ =
