MR Charcoal

Submitted by Jeff Davis on

Abstract: An exploration of a large scale Top Lite Up Draft (TLUD), fabricated from a recycled hot water tank heater.

Here, Mr Charcoal is running on loose switchgrass.

This is at the end of the switchgrass burn. I wanted to show the charcoal but it did not show up in the picture.

Switchgrass Fireball Slag

Submitted by Jeff Davis on

This is an interesting ash/slag switchgrass fireball. The outside is hardened by becoming slagged. Not all swichgrass fireballs turned to slag. As a matter of fact I think most of my slag came from tests that over heated the gasifier. Simply need more testing.
