Of course. Pressure vessels are a known hazard, so that has to be
considered in any adaptation. However, the big danger with boilers is
the amount of superheated water that will flash to steam if something
ruptures. I'm just talking about a few cubic feet of hot air that can
expand 30% in an accident if using one car turbo.

Best Possible New Year, everyone.
I arrived here after a period with wood heat but no electricity at
all, when I got interested in steam. Thanks to all for a great
education on the options. I am hoping to find a new situation with
younger people around where I can use a gasifier. What I'd like to
try would be expensive if I wanted maximum efficiency, but where the
need for heat is high and power modest, I think a great simplification
might work.
With a turbocharger from a car, I think it would be easy to just
pressurize an airtight stove to produce a solid-fuel gas turbine. I
presume that sticking a magnet on the cold end would let a coil pull
the power off. Raising the pressure would get more efficiency, but
drive up the bill for exotic materials.
Best,

Hi Gasification Colleagues,
It's 2017 already and Happy New Year to anyone still linked to this
forum. I was surprised to see that no one has written anything since
August 2016, but then, even I have had little to offer by way of
interesting activity myself. With that in mind, I will post a
Fluidyne Archive update once I take a few more photos.
The trigger for this contact with the G.List, was a visit to me on
the 30th December, from my friend of 31 years, Dr Ludo Lacrosse who
is well known across Asia for his work with energy projects. His
office is in Bangkok, so a chance for us to catch up and gossip about
all those people who have in the past made contributions to gasified
projects. Even though we work closely with people for years at times,
they still drop out of sight and friendships put on the "back burner".
So where are you all, and let's hear your 2017 opinions of renewable
energy.
Doug Williams,
Fluidyne.
