Loved this video - especially the perseverance and tenacity- trying, failing, figuring it out, learning iteratively improving the design… two ideas - build a turbo burn barrel or build your rocket stove above ground in the UK ;) I can’t wait to see your next version. Consider whether you can store the heat in a thermal mass and use it to warm a greenhouse, warm your compost, or heat water. Great video! Will subscribe for more.

Can you use a VERY diluted bit of the wood vinegar to acidify soil for blueberries, azaleas, or blue hydrangea.
@joshuadelisle13 годин тому
The acidity although high I don't think now was the problem and instead could be high levels of methanol. I'm able to distill it or boil it out but it's an extra process. Otherwise yes you could or use egg shells which is calcium carbonate to turn the acetic acid into carbon acetate which is also great for plants and raises the pH. Cheers J

4:00 you are not saving money that way, because the more power you pull from your alternator more fuel you will lose, the smart way but also the most difficult to implement on a random car, would be regenerative braking, because that's basically "free" energy that you could collect instead of it being dissipated by heat

Canada is way below zero on carbon output. We’re actually a MASSIVE carbon sink. Canada's carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes totaled 548 million metric tons Black spruce, jack pine, and other hardy boreal tree species, and the soil in which they grow, store about 28 gigatons (28trillion metric tons) of carbon PER YEAR in Canadian forests, the equivalent of over 40 years of Canada's annual greenhouse gas emissions. China, India, and Africa, are the biggest polluters of the world who do almost nothing to prevent it.
@yeahright5286День тому
Carbon Dioxide is not polluting our planet, our planet has more plants than ever due to increased CO2. CO2 is just an easy target for governments to crack down on in order to control the poor. Also if it were actually a problem nuclear energy would be used in every country claiming to fight CO2 emissions. If you don't believe me...

Unfortunately, blades don't last long with this saw, I've replaced 6 blades in 4 month since I've bought the saw. 5 of 6 blades were bi-metal 14/18TPI and one just plain M42, all blades have cracked and then snapped completely after 30-50cuts (last two blades made only about 15cuts) while all teeth were intact and as sharp as new, however, a non bi-metal blade indeed had lost some teeth afterall. The speed dial has never been set above 2.5 and feed has always been very gentle, so blades had never been even warm let alone hot. The only reason blades quit fast I can think of is that 14/18TPI blades don't like cutting thin (1.5-2mm) square pipe which has too thin walls for this tooth step. Maybe 24TPI blades will stay intact longer, at least I hope so.
@joshuadelisleДень тому
Do you use a cutting solution? Thin steel can bind easily so taking it slow and making sure it's not pinching is a good idea. Cheers J
@deepdimdipДень тому
@@joshuadelisle A little bit of WD-40 does the job just fine. Greater amounts of oily fluids can easily lift rubber wheel bandage off the aluminium wheels, this is kind of dangerous situation for a blade because it donesn't simply slips off the wheels, detached bandage can stuck in the cage and block and overstress the blade itself.
@joshuadelisleДень тому
@@deepdimdip I think you'll find WD 40 is what's wearing the blades out. For a long time I used it for cutting and eventually discovered it was not great at all and actual cutting fluid is 1000% better. Even plain water is better despite rusting.
@deepdimdipДень тому
@@joshuadelisle Oh, that's interesting. I can try other lubricants, but I can't understand how a particular lubricant is related to wearing blade's body. The problem is the teeth are not wearing out at all, it is the blade's body that's failing. First a small barely noticable crack appears between a couple of teeth, then it gradually grows a bit every time this piece of blade cuts materal and when this happens the entire saw body jumps up with increasing amplitude and finally after few revolutions the blade snaps and then it's over.
@deepdimdipДень тому
@@joshuadelisle p.s. The main reason I went for WD-40 is that it evaporates relatively quickly on its own and shouldn't theoretically create problems in the long run by accumulating on the wheels etc.

The learning curve demonstrated is super steep. Nice. Generally, to scale it up properly you'd need a welder, sheets of stainless steel and ... a type of distillation tower, technically. To separate all the gunk, water and gas in the top. The water storage appears to work well enough, but... moisture?
@joshuadelisleДень тому
A fully welded rig with turn key solutions is the main goal. What I first want to do is figure out all the dynamics and R&D in the cheapest way possible and make it accessible for people who can't weld. Cheers J
@TomasSab3DДень тому
@@joshuadelisle hmmm... well... 1. Instead of the pipe coil cooler "collecting the gunk and condensate" - a tall pipe should be used. the condensate is gooey and sticky... key is to let it collect in the bottom, and scrape the walls easy. It should be air cooled to the point of 60C at peak operation, I guess. Leaving only the gas - to exit. A 2nd stage cooler could be required for water, but... that's just multi step distillation, technically. Nothing will outperform a "distillation tower". Cool idea with the steel mesh to create bubbles - that's used in distillation towers also. 2. The "water bong"... gas storage in floating barrel... water there is already a filter. I guess it could use some "circulation". Water feed + drain... 3. Dry silica filter would make most sense in the last stage, where the gas exits the water storage... to be stored in pressure vessels? balloons? 4 - the reactor, pyrolysis chamber... 2 barrels - would allow continuous operation. Connecting a new one without stopping the process. Would be best with a "feeding" and "removing" made easy. Though, that's hard. And your solution does have the big advantage of being "off the shelf". Overall, this whole thing has big potential. It produces a large variety of products. 1. Biochar, for improving soil conditions - growing more trees faster. 2. Potential fertilizers... 3. Potential pesticides, "protective paint" for wooden structures... 4. Other byproducts? And using "excess gas" for sustained pyrolysis... if it's done right, this whole thing could be a "compact" furnace, that - once heated up, just keeps going - with continuous feeding of wood, and harvesting of everything else. Anyway. Fascinating experiment. Hope more people get inspired to test it. Let me know if you'd like some things engineered / calculated. I'm open for it.

@foxtizzo2 дні тому
Very interesting work. I would call it a pyroliser instead of a gasifier, because it doesn't burn a part of the wood, but only heats it and releases the volatile parts. You will have to make a device to regulate the proper fuel to air mix. I would recommend using a T with only a valve on the air side instead of the gas side as you do.
@1511demon2 дні тому
So to gasifi the wood you can use waste oil car oil seeds oil, make an oil burner place it under the gasifier and i belive that oil will heat up much fater the gasifier and increase the production. I like the idea of storeing the gas in a buble and use it later so i think that using it after sitting a wile it will be better cause you give time to deposit some of impurities 🫡

i think you touched on this in the video but have you given much thought to what type or wood you were using in the burn can? you mentioned using woods like ash, willow and alder, i believe. i'm not sure about alder and ash but i know willow is a soft wood and doesn't burn particularly well. have you tried woods like oak, hickory or even most fruit tree woods? those are harder and burn better, possibly giving you more bang for your buck (or pound, if you will).
@mcskifter2 дні тому
steam engine, or sterling cycle... no need to complicate things so much using an internal combustion engine just to have to filter so much. Use a simple alternator to charge your batteries and either build a custom regulator that maintains motor rpm at or above a safe idle, or just undersize it so your engine demand never exceeds your fuel/fire.
@nvtnvt35412 дні тому
remove the injection nozzles on the inside of the carburator, or even better, disable tthe carburator, fit a nipple on the inlet(between carburator and cilinder , connect the gasline to the nipple, also remove or disable the governor it may be a problem as i saw it jolting up and down the rpm band.
@robdickson40712 дні тому
Seal the pipe into the carb and tee the pipe feeding the carb with a one way valve with an isolator on the gas and air in so you can control the mixture, as your relying on the air gap being correct with a piece of pipe dangling in the hole seems to have been overlooked

Hey.... just a heads up.. that gasket material, if effected by methane... or methanol suggests that it may contain FLUORINE!! DO NOT TOUCH OR ALLOW THE GASKET MATERIAL TO TOUCH YOUR SKIN WHEN ITS WET OR FLUID in NATURE... All PSFA's are fluorine compounds and are accumulative within the body... over your lifetime, you or me or anyone ...can only "collect" so much before the fluorine ion levels get so great they become noticeable to your immune system.. at which point.. Ur immune system finds out that a TERRORIST group has indeed snuck into your body and attacks... NOT KNOWING JUST WHAT THEY're UP AGAINST, they will lose... horribly so, i might add... Fluorine is violently with all other elements except neon, argon.. and maybe helium... other than that... oh and petrol... I dont know why but, petrol products do indeed break it down... but as far as non-reactive elements... the three aforementioned elements are it... Fluorine attacks and destroys evetything else... If its added to your water supply as sodium fluoride and they say its good for ur teeth, ha ha... its a fucking lie! Filter that shit out or distill ur water... and throw away ur toothpaste! Get fluoride free toothpaste!! OH AND DO NOT COOK FOOD IN PLASTIC!! ESPECIALLY in YOUR MICROWAVE!! YOUR LITERALLY DISPLACING THE FLUORINE FROM ITS COMPOUND AND IMPREGNATING YOUR FOOD.. then eating it... Leaving your body with no means of getting rid of it !! Avoid that shit wherever possible!! And be super weary of "Microwave Safe" plastic!! To give u an idea, we threw out ALL our plastic flatware and plates, tupperware, etc! HEAT AND PLASTIC AND FOOD OR BEVERAGE IS BAD! This subject has been my longest ongoing research topic... 18 months worth! So this next statement is 100% factual: REDUCING FLUORINE ACCUMULATION WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER DOCTOR VISITS YOU WILL NEED OVER THE COURSE of YOUR LIFE TIME SIGNIFIGANTLY! Fluorine exposure is avoidable if you try! Do it and live longer, suffer less and live happier! God Bless Us All

Even though i really like this idea... Unfortunately dont have access to the required fuel... "wood"... So to accomplished the same, running a generator without gasoline.... just in a different way... So i constructed a water electrolysis cell that produces oxygen and hydrogen via electrical input to bipolarized stainless steel core submerged in water with a teaspoon of lye added for conductivity! Its neat... You can start it with a battery and then switch to the power generated by the generator for continued operation while also recharging the starter battery!

I could for sure be wrong about this, but could the issue with the gas tank reservoir be that it's too pressurized? Also, you might try to make something to tune the gas/ air mix using the venturi effect. I think you'll see better results. Also, several third-world countries use the inner tube for tires to store and pressurize the gas from this as well as from biodigesters.

Alright, I too have been researching this, here’s what I see common problems 1) wood with too high a moisture content 2) undersized plumbs 3) condensers that are too small and not effective ( you have to cool the gas to remove the moisture 4) poor filters So in short.. Go BIG! , have a multi stage condenser , and a LARGE multistage filtration Lastly as a mechanic, you generator carburetor does nothing while running on wood gas, you would be best to remove it, remember your fuel demand AND AIR demand change at cranking to throttle up to running AND as you load the generator you need more of BOTH ,,,, so you need to divide a carburetor for WOOD GAS .. that is the most challenging of all the tasks. Most successful designs that I see have a valve for each air and (wood) gas .. ultimately an oxygen sensor in you exhaust is the best way to determine if you have the best fuel air mixture…
