Some of the boys (on another thread) were going to Maine to hunt moose. One of the food items mentioned was horseradish cheese. Now I just gotta poke some fun in here, and was wondering if you might send them some of the moose cheese they make in Sweden?

Most everyone already thinks I'm nuts around here, but just another one of them moments.

. I've been wanting to build gassers for about 10 years, and finally built a decent shop, and put together a machine shop this year, so hopefully next spring I will start building a unit.

Paul and I both want to build a stationary gasser to power a small engine to drive an auto (Delco) alternator for a backup DC generator. I use the DC to charge my solar system.

DanG JPgreen, we think alike. I'm eyeing the 18 hp briggs I pulled off the woodmizer, got a pile of old propane tanks and hot water heaters. What I'm thinkin about would be a little different.

Yes, in his movie "The Enforcer" with Tyne Daly.  Grin

Hi every one!
Paul!
Hav`nt seen you at woodgasbuilder in a while now! I hope everything is good with you and  all!


Werner,

I hadn't heard from you for awhile either and thought maybe you got thrown in jail or something  Ya dats a good one!
Have you heard from Johan?There is nothing new on his website.

Everything is okay here and I've driven the woodgas truck around town a few times but had to park it for awhile when the weather was really hot because I didn't want to risk having the woodgas generator "sneeze" and throw some sparks.

It doesn't happen too often Pat but the gasifier will have a minor backfire or explosion that is released through the springloaded lid.It blows a bit of smoke but it's really no big thing.

When I leave here through the reserve,there is a steep hill that leaves the valley floor and it's a slow pull for the truck.For some reason,the truck would sneeze just at the crest of the hill and on a couple occasions there were tailgaters following but after the sneeze,they back way off  Ya dats a good one!

Maybe you could vent that out through a whistle, so when she blows it will sound like an old steam train comin through.  Grin Grin

Paul and I both want to build a stationary gasser to power a small engine to drive an auto (Delco) alternator for a backup DC generator. I use the DC to charge my solar system.

If you are interested in a DC generator, I've got a line on a bunch of used 5KW high-end DC generators (can do 12, 24 or 48 vdc, maybe other voltages?). They are set up to run on propane - I assume these could also burn wood gas. My brother-in-law picked up a bunch of them, surplus from a phone company merger. Can get them custom programmed for off-grid battery charging, or other applications. If you are interested, let me know and I'll dig up more info.

JPGreen -

Here's a link to the website with info on the Generators: http://www.sagecliff.com/generators/

Site has a basic description (pulled from a product brochure), links to manuals, & etc. At the bottom of the page is the contact info for my brother-in-law, who has a bunch of them. He is negotiating to sell a good bit of them to a telephone cooperative, but is willing to split them up.

Engines are Briggs & Stratton Vanguard. He also is working with one of the engineers who was on the team who designed them, who will recondition and reprogram them for various applications.

My B-I-L is also interested in somewhat interested in woodgas, so he'd probably enjoy a conversation with you about what you're up to with that, and how his generators might work on woodgas.

Tell him I said "hi"
