WOOD POWER! Off Grid Electricity from Wood - Part 1

Turning wood into off grid electrical power might be the ultimate level of self-sufficiency. We build a wood gasifier from @steveoffgrid485 and fire it up!

As a retired someone who has worked with metal fabrication, welding, electronics of every description etc, I am VERY, VERY IMPRESSED with You and your wonderful family. Is there Anything these girls can not do? When this gasifier is finally tweaked and tuned, you family should be able to enjoy FREE electricity (albeit labour intensive) for years if not decades into the future. FANTASTIC. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

What a pleasure to see a father that raised a family of useful people with skills well done dad

[Steve-pkok]

Clearly this man won't have to worry about his children making their way through life when he's gone. He has taught them how to use their skills. He has raised them well.

I’m 67 so I wasn’t around in the 40’s during WWII. But to memory I saw articles about various companies selling wood gasifiers that people were using to run various gasoline automobiles on when gas rationing and such was in effect during WWII.

How excited you get with your kids building this stuff makes me excited on becoming a dad this year. You can see your kids feed off your energy. Thank you for the smiles and laughter with your videos

My grandpa drove in 1944/45 a woodgas generator truck for German Luftwaffe, he had to fill up the generator every 100km, and it had to be properly done, very close packing. The cleaning and filtering unit was kinda huge for a truck, but wood was always around, not so as gasoline. He drove the truck all over Ukraine to Berlin to Munich region. Every day before starting the generator the filters had to be cleaned with a big broom. He never had problems with the gas generator.

You are very lucky to have such a wife and kids who enjoy really being involved with your projects and building a life together.

[waynejanzen]

Watching you and your daughter take on this project and be successful, just made me happy! You've obviously done a lot right as a father, and all should be very proud of your accomplishments.

[coevicman]

Very impressed with the kit / book. Most of all the fantastic family adventure to make power from wood gas - Brown's Gas. You inspired us all.

[jimratajski]

Best video since the one where you showed off your kitchen stove!! I went out and bought my own immediately! 1931

[keithganung]

This made me tear up brother I’m so happy for you and your family.

[oldplaner]

Well done! It is a well proved system and very efficient with the heat recycling and outer insulation that properly cracks tars and produces good clean gas. Good job Christina

[jbanannas]

I have the upmost respect for your choice of lifestyle. Not an easy choice for a “City-liver” such as myself. Where I live in Ireland it rarely snows or goes below freezing and always connected to the grid is easily 99% of the country. What really makes my mouth open in amazement is that your fair ladies are much better than most men at doing what I as a man considered hard work. I wish you all a safe, happy and prosperous new year.

[johnlombardo]

dad youre killin it! to see a child build something so amazing is fantastic! being a part of the generator system as well as her own ammo pouch etc, awesome! well done!

[davidtrammell]

This was a awesome video, Jeff & Rose your family is amazing and such a blessing Thank you all

[brucec]

Most impressive is Julia working ...working ...what a wonderful trait. God Bless.

[greenman]

I’m still glowing from the last video, the singing at the end made me choked up. I’d always wondered. Watching you guys grow up and set such an example of parenting and family, always had me wondering if smiles like that could consistently keep a family lit, if they didn’t have faith. Could they exist one without the other?I didn’t think so but…🙏🏻. Now on a practical level, the gasification is so important for the times we are about to live through. You guys are knocking it out of the park.

Christina's amazing little welder. It must be time for dad to buy her a tig machine
