Making wood gas using my Wood Gasifier. Introducing my Imbert Gasifier Part 1

Wood gasifiers are old technology that has been overlooked but it may be a route to lessen our dependency on fossil fuels.

I have made a wood gasifier along the lines of an Imbert gasifier that uses a constricted reduction zone inside. This is only an introduction to what I have made and what it does.
My aim is to run a generator that will charge a battery bank. From this battery bank I hope to run the house via an inverter.
My generator will be a 13hp engine. Therefore my constriction zone is about 50mm (2 inch) in diameter.

For further reading, just good wood gasifiers and sit back and soak all the information up. This could be a way to reduce our dependency on Saudi oil.

my grandfather had a smaller version of one of these on his car during the war

This is my next project in the backyard. It is so logical, and it's funny how all the preppers were doing this 10 years ago on TV as people snickered in the background. I always knew they'd have the last laugh. OK, I had no idea how close we are to Walking Dead type of lawlessness...

I did not spot an explosion release cover on the filter can, as well there needs to be adequate release points throughout. I jump through vids quick, but I do know at least one guy in modern age of W-G got himself killed by a tank explosion. The problem is always at potential, if you have any leaks after the hot spot then there can be air getting in that makes a bomb-mixture in some tank or tube. Some kind of cap on a chain that blows out quick is needed, adequate to release the shredding pressure.

What a beautiful clean build! Looking forward to your next video!

[mazdalorean]

Nice job. Flame looks good. I also built a Flash001usa type gasifier. I'm just getting ready to fire up a wood processing machine to make consistent size cubes out of logs. Video coming soon. Thanks for the show. Joe

[davedave]

Looks great, finally started my own using flash 001 and Mr teslonian ideas both clever fella, s keep up the work and please more vdos

[Colin-du]

with all those piles of wood in the background i can see why you’re so happy with your project. so much fuel!

[migueljose]

very impressive! thank you! keep on posting!

[elibaier]

Great video! Glad to see some modern gasifier videos! After you do get a generator running off of the gas you shoudl try to figure out the efficiency of the gasifier!

[cetate]

As far as gas cleanliness is concerned, when not lit if it only looks a little hazy it is plenty clean to run an engine safely. Colors themselves can be an indicator but I don't stress too much over color.

[mikeharley]

Excellent video! I am looking forward to future videos on this project. A wood gasifier build is definitely on my todo list in the future. (Two other projects on the short list first before I can start on it, but I will build one in the not too distant future hopefully.)

Yours seems to be one of the nicest gasifiers shown on YouTube! (Too many look like they were built by a 3-year-old out of old soup cans.). Do you have any plans on writing up anything to outline what you learned from the project? It looks like you have done an outstanding job with it!

[cottonpreppinpoor]

Glad I found this. Have been planning on building one myself. So far I've bought a book n watched dozens of videos lol. I do work 80-100 hours a week so time isn't really on my side.

[RenaissanceThinking]

This is a very informative video. A follow-up on this would be great.

[abhijitkher]

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing 🙏 🙏

[kittywampusdrums]

Looks great! I'm building one right now. I wonder if your radiator is large enough and is maybe that's why the flame is so orange? Mine is 6ft tall 2" pvc pipes, I watched Flash001's vids too lol. 😎 Will you be using the tri-filter too?

[bigrob]

The Wayne Keith gasifier makes way cleaner gas than the imberts. Worth paying for the book with blueprints.

[bobbylong]

Awesome looking great keep moving forward you can do it.

[fireandforge]

I would just add another saw dust filter after your existing filter

[justinmason]

I've been studying this for awhile now I try to research everything I do sometimes to the point of over complacating it. So am I wrong when I say all you really need is to felter the smoke really good.

[BigBeavrSlayer]

Don't worry to much on flare color, if it is just a haze and not smokey then it is plenty clean. You can see in several of my videos I don't care about the color of the flair at all, if it's a nice haze it is ready to run the engine just fine
