Summary

Description
English: A schematic showing the wood gasifier built by Dick Strawbridge and Jem Stansfield for the show "Planet Mechanics".

Parts:

  • A: wood
  • B: fire
  • C: air inlet (air going to 4 nozzles)
  • D: reduction zone; contains charcoal; smoke goes trough the accumulated charcoal and reacts with it. H2O and CO2 becomes H2 and CO
  • D1: top grating (movable)
  • D2: lower grating (not movable)
  • D3: handle: used to stir up the wood to provide evenly high temperature over top grating
  • E: smoke
  • F: single-cyclone seperator (coarse filter)
  • G: partially filtered smoke
  • H: radiator (reduces heat of gas and hence condenses the gas, making it more flammable/potent)
  • I: cooled, partially filtered smoke
  • J: fine filter (consisting of clay balls on top of a grating)
  • K: wood gas (= fully filtered, cooled smoke)
  • L: air/gas mixer (replaces IC engine carburetor)
  • L1: air inlet valve (operated via handle mounted to gear stick)
  • L2: choke valve
