AT LEAST YOU MADE ONE. 😁🏹🛡🇬🇧

@Buddy Rojek while it does sound nice, if you would "goodbye oil" then you would also "goodbye forests" given the consumerism nowadays.

@@gogutzy I mean, It would give reason for places that always have yearly forest fires to actually manage the forest properly. Since they could use the trees they take out as a source of revenue. Alot of places that have forest fires yearly loose thousands of acres of trees. It would also mean that there would be a need for tree farms as well, and its not just trees that can be sued in the gasifires, you can use dried grass as well. We already make grass pelts as animal feed, it could be used as fuel as well. Also I always see tones of adds for free wood that people just want to get rid of all the time.

@@ryunokurayami2845 ... I agree... What a beautiful car ...a classic... Also a beautiful gasification unit, but what a lot to pull behind you....STAND STRONG. FEBRUARY 2021....🛡🏹🇬🇧 💉💩😠👹

@@thefreeradical2320 Well over time we would naturally find a way to make the units smaller and just as if not more efficient. When there is a strong pull to something more and more inventors will see the need in the market and will inovate it. As a start I could see some units being placed on trucks since they have the cappacity in the bed to carry them. which will then lead to smaller units being created for commuter cars as vans. There is also other usability for the charcole byproduct that some of the units make. its pretty much unactivated charcole. so it can be used in farming as well as air purification once activated.

@@ryunokurayami2845 You´re right. If these forest would be cleaned up properly of any debris, self-ignition would be not possible. Make pellets for these gasifiers, and you´re way ahead of anyone else.

Beautiful , but a true gas guzzling car now...😁🍾

Vesa Mikkonen do you sell these ?

Where from

Yes, this would be very interesting opportunity. That way it might be relatively simple, because you would have the electric car untouched and would only generate power for it on trailer. Especially in city trafic this would also improve efficiency. Hybrid cars tend to be more complex. I'm expecting some special knowledge would be needed to change the fuel and to control charging of the batteries..

@@VesaMikkonenEkomobiili very nice

Take carb off and run syn gas/nat gas directly into engine with a valve to adjust the airflow

Not necessary to take the carb off, but a simple air valve

He said 150 km or 93 miles with wood fuel, or 200 km or 124 miles with sod peat fuel.

Fuel demand is about 50 kg wood dry matter per 100 km (2 km/kg). In short distances the fuel consumption is still higher. Fuel demand is mainly dependant on the car and the drag drag of the trailer.

There is a complete building manual available, ekomobiili.fi/Tekstit/english_etusivu.htm

Unfortunately leaves and garden waste does not suit as fuel. It is possible to use real fuels like wood or peat (sod peat). If you could produce suitable dry briquettes of leaves and grass, may be it would be possible to utilize them as fuel for a wood gas-generator.

Once the car/generator is running it can be recharged by the alternator. Just like the battery in every ICE car in existence. It seems the blower only needs to be running while the system is heating up (He said 5-10 mins), once the car is running the engine seems to provide enough suction that the blower is no longer needed. So depending on the power of the blower you could potentially run it off the car battery and then let the alternator recharge it once running.

With extremely small gas-generators it may turn out difficult to make the fuel flow down smoothly. If car or motorcycle has already originally weak engine, the performance may not meet expectations for daily transportation. There is, however, not any strict limit on the smallest size. Cars with 2 liters engines and motor cycles have been converted successfully to run on wood gas. The smaller the gasifier, the more carefully the fuel has to be produced and it must not contain over size particles. Big gasifiers in turn like to eat coarse fuel to ensure proper penetration of combustion air. Wood gas has also been utilized successfully for power generation. Ekomobiili power process is completely continuous, works on chip type of fuel and yields pretty accurately 1 kWh of electrical power from one kilogram of wood (combustible matter). So you may expect to receive 1 kWh power from 1.2 kg air dry wood chips (humidity max 20 %). This works at its best from 15 to 40 kWe power range but with somewhat coarser chips 100 kW electrical power is available. By-product heat is available as hot water (90 °C) both from the gasification process and from the engine. Because of effective gas cleaning process, engines can be run with minimal maintenance years around the clock with out need for overhaul.

The gas has to reach high enough temperature inside the gasifier to crack the tars. Before the engine wood gas is cooled. Temperature of the gas is about 15 degrees above the out side temperature when it reaches the engine. Cooling is principally done on the trailer but, of cause, it cools the whole way in pipes to the engine

I think that 10 kW is too low power request for that big gasifier to run smootly. 7.3 l engine running at 1500 r/min or 1800 r/min sounds better. Lincoln as 400 cid engine.

+Vesa Mikkonen I wouldn't think this would work on a diesel engine

boomonastick it does work on diesel, but it requires a way to reduce the amount of diesel, needs just enough diesel to create the spark

Garantiert. Der TÜV freut sich schon ;-)

My interpretation of your latter question... I'd say: 55 % of wood heat is utilized per traveled distance, compared to 100 % gasoline baseline - iff I happen to be correct. Let's see. I believe he said 50 kg of burning mass (wood or sod peat) is needed for 100 km of driving with this particular Lincoln car. HEAT OF COMBUSTION Birch (wood used): 4.15 kWh/kg. Gasoline: 43 MJ/kg =11.94 kWh/kg Lincoln Mark5 1979 (motor 400 cubic inch) consumes gasoline about between 13 l/100 km (some guy, best result) and 18.1 l/100 km (combined, specs). 1 liter of gasoline weights about 733 grams. Thus, 13 l weights 13*0.733 = 9.53 kg. Thus, 100 km with gasoline results in 11.94 * 9.53 = 113.78 kWh and 100 km with this wood gas system requires 4.15 * 50 = 207.5 kWh Therefore, 113.78 / 207.5 = 0.548 ~= 55 %. This is heavily dependent on assumed gasoline consumption of 13 l/100 km. For recalulations use: (13*0.733*11.94)/(4.15*50) Or, maybe am I wrong? ='D

The gasifier I have built for my own use but everything is of cause on sale. Could you please send rather an e-mail.

Hello Vesa. Thank you for replying. My e-mail is: hjelkrem@gmail.com

hjelkrem79 I'm afraid that e-mail is incorrect. You can find my e-mail address from my web site ekomobiili.fi

I have built this for my own use and used it to power my car since 2006. Everything is, of course, possible and on my web site there is telephone number....
