Charcoal Gasifier No 2

Hi Gasification Colleagues,

While charcoal gasifiers are as simple as desperation determines, the choices as to how they are designed is very much a factor of applied knowledge, using the materials that might be available. In the main, we will only be using components made of steel, and using basic welding equipment for assembly.

What is not discussed in literature on the subject of gasifier design, is the philosophy behind the design, and the phenomena created by that design. It is very clear that far to many people are locked into a mind set of chemical equations, and mathematical calculations before first being able to creating the correct phenomena to achieve the desired results.

Hi Gasification Colleagues,

Back in June, I promised to give you some basic lessons on how to make a charcoal gasifier, and to explain some terminology. This is for those who understand nothing about gasification in a practical sense, so should kick start those with less ability or resources. It does not cover gasifiers that use raw biomass.
