Hi Bob,
I have seen direct coupled car turbo's hooked to a pressurized
gasifier/stove, and in that situation, was fed hot gas straight out of
the gasifier. It's not that it doesn't work, just that it's almost
impossible to prevent the impeller from coking up and blocking. Not sure
how you would actually hook a generating device on this, but opportunity
to develop that hot gas to power directly would be a game changer. You
also have to consider the power demand required for air input compression.

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,
