The base thermos holes allow air into the fuel, while the top holes allow preheated air down into wood gasifier stove plans.pdf ios stove to basically burn the woof smoke. Pyrolysis merely heats the biomass until the combustible volatiles come off the fixed carbon. First, you need to drill the outer holes. You can contact them for the plans. Large generators will be more like automotive applications, with some added automation to keep things running smoothly. Raymond Rissler's classic design from

I prefer to light the stove through the bottom holes, as it gives me a straight shot to the fuel. For the pots, I needed some form of support. This took me a while to figure out with my dad's help and it worked out very well. They pull apart in pieces, and stack into a cross that fits neatly unto the top of the stove. I have yet to finally boil water in it, but I assume it would take anywhere from minutes to boil 1 liter of water.

I plan on making a fan assisted box to help move the air in the bottom, and will update when ready. I would love suggestions on how the holes could be altered to provide better gasification, or how it can be made better. Thanks for reading until the end of my first instructable, and I would love your vote in the Make: Energy Contest, and others. Thanks, Quark-. I just couldn't wait to post. No tests have been performed, nor has the sugru even dried.

For the first update, I made a thermoelectric fan box to blow air into the box and create turbulence. This should hopefully generate more of a furnace type stove and cause more efficient gasification. It functions by using a peltier element to cause a temperature differential between the side facing the stove and that facing away. Aside from the fan, it has no moving parts. Firstly, drill 2 holes and position the blower in the manner mentioned above.

Make sure not to attach it too well, as this is merely a testing stage. Next, drill the hole for the copper nipple, at the bottom of the box. Then, run the wires into these holes and hold them at the other side. Now, attach the fan, red to red, black to black, with a Schottky diode on the red lead, white line facing towards the fan. Solder these in place, and make sure to run heat shrink over these leads before fully soldered, in order to prevent short circuits.

Warm this tubing to shrink the tube over the leads, and, done! On the outside of the box, take some thermal compound and drop a little glob on the enclosure, squishing this over the cooler when you place it down. I also added little rolls of sugru around each edge of the module to keep it in place.

Take one packet of surgu, and roll it around the copper tube in the bottom. Then, take the other packet and fold it into a small sheet, then smoothing them together and making an airtight seal. After this step, you are practically done!

I would love feedback and ideas on grille shape and design, but this is what I went with. I included images of the nipple fitting into the hole I drilled in the canister, as well as it in the stored position. Wow, no more having to buy those wasteful expensive gas canisters every time I go on Do It Yourself Wood Stove 82 a camping trip. With this setup you might be able to charge your Smartphone at your campfire with a cable long enough!

If you need to, add a few capacitors, but make sure, that they can withstand the high temperatures! Before connecting your electrical device ensure first, that the output voltage does not exceed the required 5V at the USB connector. Elsewise you might fry your device! Would the sugru not melt due to heating?

And it would be great if you posted somemore pics of the copper nipple attachment and such thanks! Overall great project cant wait to build. Increasing the top ventilation holes could also be done via your dremnel tool by cutting slots in between the holes. Also do this at the base where the fan blows in and also at the box holding the fan then use the surgu to make a square duct both inside and in between.

That should boost the air volume. You may not want to drill through to the firebox at the fan output site or reduce the size of the holes I just want to thank everyone in the Instructables community for the amazing support and the win in the Burn it contest, as well as the finalist position in the Make Energy contest.

Thanks everyone, I am sorry I haven't posted in a while I will have a lumen bike light coming soon. Technically speaking, this is a pyrolyzing stove, not a gasifying stove. Gasification converts the carbon content of the biomass into CO and H2 gas. Pyrolysis merely heats the biomass until the combustible volatiles come off the fixed carbon. The smoke gets burnt to produce CO2 and H2O vapors at a very high temperature; these then get percolated through the red hot charcoal, which is highly reactive with oxygen at high temperatures.

The carbon in the charcoal has such a high oxygen affinity that it yanks the oxygen off the CO2 and H2O to produce CO and H2 gases carbon monoxide and hydrogen , both of which burn hot and clean.

That's what gasification is. This stove only carries out pyrolysis. The stove could be too long, with the bypass air going into turbulent flow and restricting total bypass flow. Just look at the smoke from a lit cigarette, and how the smoke goes from smooth flow to all curly.

Maybe use a shorter thermos, or build a ash trap into your design And move the bypass air holes? Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. The smoke from a cigarette goes curly when it cools to near ambient temperature and is no longer buoyant in the air.

What would you say is the total cost of this project? Also, have you had results from your testing yet? I am very interested to see if the fan helps much?

Very nice stove and Instructable! Your stove is a much more refined, finished product than most hiking stoves of this type. Two questions: 1 How long does it burn or need more fuel sticks to be added? Reply 6 years ago. Hello, in reply to the mod idea for sideways feeding the fire. If you look up an rocketstove you can see that it's not that hard to add. Great job!! Keeping the fuel off of the bottom of the burner might help some.

Visit the store. Here are some free plans to get you started. Also, don't miss these other free PDF downloads. Free plans put out by FEMA. Great for a weekend "lets see if this actually works" project. NOTE: this is an emergency-use design - stratified gasifiers are known tar makers, placing your engine at risk. Best used for flares and heating applications. A taste of Ben Peterson's excellent plans. This gasifier is designed for a small stationary engine, like a generator.

You get the schematic and general overview for free. If you want step-by-step plans you'll need to buy his book, available at www. A very easy to build charcoal gasifier designed by Gary Gilmore. Works well for backup generators and most small engines. Make a woodgas camp stove! Get your feet wet with gasification and build this cute little stove using tin cans. Design by Arthur Noll. The team at Mother powered a truck back in , read the articles here and here.

You can contact them for the plans. OK, it's not free - but it's pretty cheap. A well documented build is here , videos here. Raymond Rissler's classic design from One of the few gasifier designs that uses sawdust for fuel. Jim Mason's design. He makes the plans freely available, so you can build one straight from the CAD files. Backup power or primary off-grid - whatever your situation, woodgas can make you more independent.
