Part 2 -Electricity! WOOD POWER! Off Grid Electricity from Wood - Part 2 ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rGdlgZ6Erq6LpKM.html

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Awesome dad, husband, wife, mother and daughters..beautiful family, thank you for sharing..GOD BLESS YOU

Part 2!?!?! I was all hyped up to see it run! 😂

We had a friend in Minnesota many years ago that ran an old pickup truck with one of these that he built. And get this- his Name was John Wood. RIP John, you were way ahead of the times!

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

Christina, Great job. You have really done some impressive welding there. Turning an endless supply of wood into electricity seems masterful. This is a beautiful job, so hopefully this will work perfectly.

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.

Very interesting vlog. I look forward to seeing the next video and power being generated. Christina’s multiple skills are amazing.

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

Great job building the gasifier. Can't wait to see it in use. Those were some beautiful welds there Christina. 80 hours is a lot of welding time. The whole family is amazing. Thanks for filming and sharing your adventures.

Christina, you are unbelievable👩🏻‍🏭🧠👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤😍👌

That was designed by Ben Peterson founder of Victory gasworks! his design and testing has moved gasifiers leaps ahead of the world war 1 units.

Congrats Team Gridlessness. As always, a terrific team effort. Much to be proud of. I hope you guys had a celebration!

I'm jelly! You have a great family! These ladies sure could really teach others to be like this!! Incredible! God Bless you all!

All of you are awesome 👌 Especially Cristina 🥰👍💪

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.

Man that's awesome, I've always been interested on using Woodgas to generate electricity. Can't wait to see your follow up video. And kudos to your daughter she's awesome..... Jeff

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

Beautiful family. Your girls are not afraid of working. They are blessed with a great father with patience and a great mentor. I have four boys. I hope they meet a woman like one of your girls. Ha ha just saying.

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

Totally rad, Christina!!! 💥💃🏽❤️🤪

I would have killed to have you as a father. Such an amazing gift to learn a trade growing up!

I'm so amazed at this idea of wood burning gas thing and the skills that Julia and Christina! Wow ! All your girls are so talented and incredible! Jeff and Rose, you have raised amazing daughters!

I knew a Dutch guy who ran a Duce and a half in the military on wood chips, from ww2. I’ve never made one but I’m gathering pieces and watching dozens of videos over and over. The ones that seem most successful have thee or more moisture collection devices in the gas flow. Usually steel wool in a filter tube.

Faith in humanity restored, nice little thing you got going on up there.

Wow! Congrats on your build and excellent video. You have done a great job on your build and in educating others on the gasifier and build process.

Awesome, I was sooo looking forward to this video! And I think you sold me on this thing I really want to make one, so I'll definitely look in to that! Beautiful welds Kristena great job! Great video Mr. Jeff I really appreciate and respect you! Thanks for sharing your family and life with us! God bless you all!! Can't wait for part 2

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

Been subscribed to you guys for a long time, so hard to understand why you guys aren’t bigger. Coming from just south of you off grid in the Montana Rockies!

Lots of Love to your family form INDIA/Republic of Bharat 🇮🇳 Christina is awesome

Wooohooo!!! I've been looking forward to seeing this. Now looking forward to the next installment. Well done everyone! Well done Julia! So happy for you all, have a fabulous day from Australia 🦘🦘🙏🦘🦘👍

I'm planning on doing that my self. BUT in Alaska. I do have the plans for that exact gassifier. It will be powering the generator that will be supplementing the solar and wind, feeding 2 30kw battery banks. I am glad I found a video of somebody building and running the thing.

Wow that is so awesome Good job Christina.

That thing is awesome and Christina is the Queen of welding

I contacted this guy about his kit about a year ago? Looks very cool. Thanks for the video!!!

That awesome can’t wait to see it hooked up and running

Y’all have out done yourselves with this one. Outstanding!!!

Amazing cant stress enough just how good it is to see young people getting into fabrication and welding well done sir and your family

I live off grid and heat with wood, thanks for publishing your efforts. I have a large woodlot also, I was looking at boilers and that is just heat. The electricity bottleneck is the hardest part. A hybrid system is usually best. Wood/Solar/Wind/Hydro-Electric/Limited Natural Gas.

Good job team!! Lookin forward to seein the next video! 🐺🧙‍♂️🦊!!

I was looking for something to watch tonight! Checked out, Netflix, CBS, NBC, ABC fox, etc. And this turned out to be the most interesting thing. Very entertaining thank you.

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.

Looking forward to the next video. I'm very impressed with what this family has been doing over the years, and that the young ladies have developed some wonderful and useful skills that will benefit them and their families for years to come. All the best, and carry on!

Always wanted a gasifier! I read there is a guys who has a tractor that he can run on wood gas that has a pto that he can use to run a number of different things like a sawmill and generator and basically everything! And he can use it to get the wood to keep ot running such awesome technology!

it's so cool that you play around with all this stuff and get your children involved. i can only imagine what the teachers that see what they're up to have to say - not much likely other than... okay, keep going.

That is a significant achievement Kristina. The whole family of course but that took some serious welding skills and effort. A very useful life skill.

Waiting for the next video!!

Gasifiers are amazing! Great job. Definitely dry wood, otherwise a good deal of the energy is going into evaporating the moisture, which in turn keeps the temperature down. Old joke: Why is duct tape like the Force? It has a dark side and a light side and it holds the Universe together. 😀 ✌

Your reactions here remind me of the professor in the movie "Back To The Future" ! My hubby was talking about doing this several years ago, based off a video he'd seen. I'll be sharing your success with him. Looking forward to the next video!

Congratulations. Great weld job Christina! 🎉 Congrats family.. Video 2...cant wait.. ❤️🙏🙋🏼‍♀️🐈🐕

I'm so proud for you!

You do amazing things as a family. We are excited to see this powering your home! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! May 2024 bring you a bounty of peace and love.

That is awesome. Great job. I'm excited to see part 2.

Awesome, hats off to you sir. I strive to be a better father and role model. You are a prime example to follow! I hope your videos generate revenue for you and your family. Thank you for the content

How many different ways do you guys have for generating electricity, and a big well done to Christina good welding now teach dad how to weld properly. 🤣

Ben Peterson makes a book on step by step on making a Gasifier! So, It wouldn't cost $7,500 dollars to make one! Come On Man!

Living the dream. God bless 🙏

Great work! my daughter has just emigrated to Vancouver island from the UK and loves it. This is the sort of video the energy companies absolutely hate. Keep up the good work 🙏

God Bless from your Canadian Friend. Together may we give our Children Room to grow and learn to fly.

Christina should easily have a career in welding, that was some pretty impressive weld lines. She has a steady hand.

Well done Christina!!

Now that is something I’m wanting to see work. And I hope it exceeds your expectations

Greetings from the land of Blaze King, Happy New Year to you all up north. Thanks for the interesting project, look forward to seeing the thing running a gas engine and how much wood used, etc. All the best to you folks this year.

Freaking cool guys, well done

This is epically cool! The high temps and any sort of pressure definitely make me a little weary but it’s so cool!

Great advice and work God bless

From personal experience, I know that every great welder got that way because they became great with the use of grinders first. For the flange that you said you could tack in place ... do so all the way around the perimeter going from side to side, use clamps to soften the gap. Then take a 1/8" grinding wheel and bring 6 tacks down to flush and then put in a finished bead. Move to the opposite side as if you were torquing a wheel on a drum. Never weld over slag inclusions, grind them down to bright metal. I want the plans for that unit or access to the parts guy. I live in Maine, USA Your girls are going to rock the world they go to live in. fine job of parenting.

New sub from Scotland. My type of content. Great Video.

This is genius folks !!! I cant wait for results !!

I'm so proud for you! 😊

Наши руки не для скуки 😄👍👍👍!!!

I've watched a couple of your family's videos and this was the one that convinced me to subscribe, FYI.

Ya'll never cease to amaze me,keep doing what ya'll do.

Fabulous! Just excellently fabulous! Have a great year!

These girls are amazing! Super impressed

Nice job guys I purchased two of those from Steve well over 200 hours of work to put one together awesome machines I have a video on my UKposts channel of one running a generator 2 inch diameter, tree limbs work really well they make tons of wood gas

As an old welder I'm impressed!

Christina is amazingly talented

Once you get the generator running use the exhaust to dry the next batch of wood.

That's probably the best solution to the energy problem we have north of California... Sun, wind or hydro isn't always available, wood is. I look forward to the next vid. Cheers 🇨🇦

Great Father Daughter time!

It’s the Pearla resistance Your Daughters are so talented They never cease to amaze me 😱❤️ Can you feed wood in once it’s going ???

That is awesome. Saw it yrs ago, not in that form, way smaller but worked! I am a certified pipe structure welder, by trade, those welds or welding is great. Nowadays in fab shops A TIG TORCH, is used after wire welding for cleanups of original welds and or seal leaks. AMAZING WORK!! 🎉👍

Love the unity you have with ur family, man I need to learn how to weld!

I think these gasification generators are hungry beasts. I looked into using propane to run a backup electric generator at my house and it would empty my tank in just a few days. I wonder how long a cord of wood would last if burned for electricity? I think the best off grid power setup is a larger solar panel array with lots of batteries to store a few days worth of electricity and then in the dead of winter when you have little sun light you can run a portable gasoline generator to recharge the batteries when necessary.

Interesting that others have been thinking this type of approach too. I have had my own project, which I have been building for while and the burner part is ready and tested. I aim for much higher efficiency, though, with different solution. My primary goal is to produce heat to my 2000l boiler and secondary goal is to produce electricity with tesla turbine. I chose that one because it's compact and can output electricity directly to solar inverter. I use brushless watercooled motor as a generator, because it's directly compatible with turbine high rpm. Rectified 100V dc can use high frequency chokes to improve winding load balance and reduce losses compared to standard rectification. As a burner, I have 150l stainless steel cylinder with double walls, vermiculite filling and vacuum between layers. That's extremely good insulation. Hot arina is surrounded by refactory clay, and the rest of the walls are kept below 800C to avoid oxidization and structural failure, since vacuum create quite high stresses. Unlike combusting engine generator, my burner and steam coil don't need purified and cooled CO, but can burn wood gases too. That's mean much higher efficiency. Generated steam runs the turbine and all the residual heat is stored into my heating boiler through heat exchanger. I have made burning chamber from high heat refactory clay (1500C), and burning reach very high temperature when 700-800C CO and wood gas micture is mixed with pre-heated air. I have made the turbine, wood gaser and burning chamber, and work with turbine nozzle and heat exchanger is under construction. Nozzle design pushes my knowledge a bit, but on the other hand, turbine efficiency is not highest priority, since I need mych more heat than electricity anyway. Also welding the heat exchanger is quite big effort and most costly in this project. Have to make sure it's good enough.

Great smart family! Pleasure to watch you guys 😄 awesome job 💥

As the gasifier is running you could use the whatever heat sink it has to heat water through some kind of heat exchanger.

I've been wanting to build one of these since I first watched a channel called Mr teslonian build them while making different fuel's and heating the place and running a generator and fridge and cooker all from wood. If you haven't seen it check his out. He used 45 gallon drums 👍💚💛❤️

Stay warm 😊👍

WOW !!! What else is there to be said. Just WOW !!
