GF, Doug,
GF you say; "Perhaps we should consider the ICE as the primary provider of heat
for pyrolization, and build the gasifier around it." That's a very interesting
thought for a CHP.
We've agreed for some time about the need for more understanding/application of
water gas (and steam). It's interesting that you have seen water gas has been
historically an important part of energy in earlier times, than today. On my
front, I've made a new mold for making a cat that mimics a hot bed of IR coals
and am switching from ceramic to HT refractory. The first ones were not
mechanically strong enough... several breaking before kiln firing.
Doug, I agree with you completely about the use of the term "syngas" to
describe producer gas. The term should be reserved for water gas because that
gas can be "synthesized" into other fuels.
Look at Wiki, it has adopted a definition of "syngas" that even a campfire can
make. Hardly credible !!! Perhaps you would join me in asking Wiki to change
the "syngas" into a more credible definition... than someones marketing hype.
