I was hoping someone would too because I am also interested in this. I had
it explained to me recently but I didn't grasp the specifics, only the basic
principles. Something about a heavy lid floating on water above the gas
keeps the pressure steady. It's a mystery to me how you introduce new gas
or material to keep it going. Meanwhile I'm going to build a wood gasifier
and try to run a small engine with it. Then I'll see if I can feed my
propane BBQ with one. Next will be a small absorption refrigerator.

Someone in alt.energy.renewable gave me these links which look helpfull:

There's a good list of references here, if you are able to track them
down:

( http://villageearth.org/pages/AT_Library/index.htm on CD )


That said none seem to cover exactly what I intend on doing and for the
reasons I want to do it.

Where abouts in the world are you? If in the UK we may be able to share
useful info.

Looks like I was mistaken about this fellow. Seems to be
knowledgable and helpful.

My apologies.

Yea, maybe you should just "Blow it out your ASS"...... You seem to be
a "Open Mouth, Insert Foot" type of guy.......

Dipschitt, dickless trolls that hide behind multiple aliases are
not allowed to send articles to my computer via the Usenet.

Forgive me for pointing outr what is bleding obvious to all, but
obviously not to you, a master FUCKWIT, but no one sends anyone a
message to anyones computer on usenet, the post t and then people can
choose to download it.

The rest of the spurious ill informed bollocks has been snipped.

Ridiculous paranoid bulshit sniped.

Oh. And stay out of my mailboxes.

I ain't in your mailbox, I am on usenet. Read it or don't the choice is
yours.

Done.

Somehow I doubt that.

Decades? How long has Usenet been available to the general public? Seems
like not that long....

Magazine article, on paper. However, the general public in the form of
those in/near a college have had access to Usenet for decades. The s/n
used to be MUCH better. The attack of the generally annoying, incapable
of reading comprehension, and off-topic sectors of the public has not
been an improvement.

This is the same guy (though some details differ from what I recall):

Thanks for the warning. I do not recall off the top of my head any special
warnings on any of the woodgas links, just the usual carbon monoxide
warnings. It sounds like a few extra precautions are in order. I have
considerable doubts about using woodgas for inside heating or cooking and,
at least at first, plan to try to use it only for appliance that are outside
and do not just vent outside.

The trick is that unlike the "usual" CO issues we are used to from cars,
generators, etc (in the parts-per-million range, where you can breathe a
bit and get out OK) the high concentrations (when it's actually a large
part of the gas you are burning) give you about two breaths, by most
reports. Here is a somewhat balanced look at the risk:

They have no credibility because they can say anything and then
scuttle off to cower behind another alias while they drool on the
keyboard of their mommy's computer and imagine that they
are Mighty Hackers.

Run along, Junior. Go watch some porn. Maybe you'll get lucky
and will be able to find your dick this time.

you obviously are new to NewsGroups, and therefore a FNG, Newbie....
You so far, have demonstrated a total lack of understanding of
how NewsGroups work...and sonny, when you actually "get a clue"
please keep it to yourself, as us ARPAnet folks, really get tired
of FNG's demonstating their ignorance......

I've been using Usenet, initially via a BBS, daily for very close to two
decades. However, it was around three decades ago when I was in
University.

The ironic part is that these are exactly the words that caused me to
killfile a different alias. Alan couldn't possibly be posting under
multiple aliases, could he?
