Ceramic flowerpot , what a great idea. Stands high temperatures and is fast interchangeable. Thanks for the idea !!!

I am with you sir, building mine and want to be inspired with more ideas from people like you.👍

[landraver]

Ingenious! Great work, look forward to the next instalment 👍

Hi . Nice desing ! :) In my rocket stove I burn wood, sawdust, biomass - burning wood gas. :)

nothings free. wood collecting, wood cutting, feeding the unit, cleaning the unit etc etc.

Like what you did here. Thanks for spreading the info. sadly we may need it soon

Thanks for your info and ongoing efforts!… I’m really enjoying your engineering channel full of great ideas.
I’m on the road atm. But intend to learn some new welding techniques ( after 60 years) and have a go at this one….. the beauty is it is built on a shoestring!
Thanks Graeme/Graham
Cheers from over the ditch

I like it very much. I would like to build it. I would like a drawing or pictures with dimensions, if possible.

I've been trying to get a wood gas

Generating gas to then burn in petrol engines, i feel, is really complex.
I like your research, and if you develop a simplified module It will encourage me to build !!!
What about using steam for a piston/ turbine engine ?
This could just be a universal agricultural engine - it could be just connected to to what you need.
No need for oil, plugs and other maintenance on all the other engines.
There must be a simplified boiler design out there....

Looks like a bit of fun. With regards to your collander, isn't it going to be too perishable and require too much replacing over x number of burn hours? Wouldn't you be better set using something like a solid metal ash plate either home made from solid steel or easily sourced as parts from a Raeburn oven manufacturer? That would extend the lifespan to thousands of hours and mean that you don't need to pull anything apart to replace what appears to be the weakest link in the chain.

If you live in a rural area and you know how to produce woodgas. And know how to use that gas to fuel a generator. Then you can survive this world.

Games that leave the reactor should go threw a sand battery to recover the heat ie fir winter heating or domestic hot water why waste energy..then should go.. to your cyclone

[craigsaunders]

Your fuel is charcoal? Charcoal is just carbon. When you burn carbon you end up with carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is non combustible. The only way you can get combustible gasses is from wood which is made up of hydrocarbons and carbon. Adding water to forn hydrogen? Dissasociating the hydrogen from oxygen in your fire is not going to happen. All you will make is steam. What sort of quackery are you peddling?

I am about to say something but I will keep my mouth shut. More powers to you!
