Rex, Nice project and video. Can you post picture of the fuel, fuel preparation, sizing and drying and feeding?

But, I have not been idle! My colleague and I recently installed a wood fired gasifier running a 15kW alternator driving a 7.5kW maize mill in northern Mozambique. Here is a Facebook link for the photos and a short 15 second movie showing the plant running and milling maize: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Whitfield-Agri/391405990981929. Some of the interesting points: -> Gasifier: Trillion TG30 imported from Indonesia Gas cleaning: -> irrigated balls located in the annulus around the gasifier main shell; cyclone for droplet removal; chemically activated sawdust tar filter; sawdust safety filter and an Isuzu truck air filter as a final gas filter -> Cooling tower: Cooling is done with a tray type cooling tower with cooling water circulated by 12V bilge pumps -> Motor: 4.1 litre Chev 6 cylinder -> Alternator: 380V ST synchronous alternator with AVR Uses LPG gas to -> start the motor allowing the motor to draw the gas through the system. Once operating smoothly and gasfier glowing adequately, the LPG is slowly shut off while the air/fuel ratio is adjusted for the lower BTU syngas. This start up method works very well - takes about 5 minutes to switch over from LPG to syngas I have a lot of experience and clearly a lot more technical specs if anyone is interested. Post your queries and I will answer them so that we all learn from our experience.
