Is this available in the United States and can u use wood pellets instead of wood chips

What moisture content do the wood chips need to be down too ? Also can I burn chips from tree service companies ?

You know what you guys need? Can I offer an idea?

Here is an idea: you could design a MICRO-STEAM-TURBINE around this system.
Heat from the ignition-area, creates steam and runs the steam-turbine. At the other end of the turbine, cold water cools off the steam, creating a suction, further increasing the efficiency of the steam-turbine. The cold water, now pre-heated, enters the GASIFIER's ignition-area, and produces more steam.

> Cooled off steam (60-65 degrees), enter a hot-water storage tank. Any excess hot water enters a cooling-off tank, to preserve water.
> The hot water can now be used for showers and heating the home!
> The electricity is stored inside server-batteries and is used to run pumps and ignition system, for the entire home!

A PERFECT ALL-IN-ONE SELF-SUFFICIENT SYSTEM.

If you get to make this, it will be amazing to see and to buy it. It is then an completely self-sufficient, low maintenance unit, that is efficient and produces house electricity and hot water, for the whole house on demand. Will probably cost no more than $30 000, including the batteries.

I believe this is what many households would want, after today's events. Have a good day!
