@kenbellchambers4577 30 minutes ago Intensive hands-on fuel management in forests is phenomenally fruitful. Forests thrive by human care, and it is a job that is a stick-by-stick decision making process, weeding, rubbish removal, planting new valuable species everywhere ae all hands-on tasks, and most importantly, a delicate personal touch is essential, but most importantly, careful harvesting, and then using the materials harvested as a renewable resource. Humus is the cornerstone of soil health, the precise opposite of the utter ruin that results from burning.

@@kenbellchambers4577 depends where you are, and the species of tree, the fuel load, and the type of burn. Controlled burning has been used in n america for at least 3,000 years, as a means of controlling brush, and fuel load. Only in the last century has fire suppression caused massive fuel buildup, resulting in uncontrollable fires that due to their intense heat, essentially fire the soil like clay, creating ideal conditions for rapid runoff, and subsequent flooding. There are towns that had wildfire evacuations, and flood evacuations, in the same month, and landslide hazards from clearcut logging 2 months later. I totally agree that personal care and attention are essential for sustainable forestry, the exact opposite of corporate clearcutting, monoculture plantation replanting, and suppressiòn of everything but the marketable, highly flammable pine, using glyphosate aerial spraying. It's criminally wasteful and destructive.

Very Interesting! My grandparents used to always talk about how my grandfather avoided going to WWII because he had a transport business and his Trucks were Fitted with Charcoal Burners. He could go between The country town they lived in and Sydney which was 200 miles on only 1 Pint of petrol with a fully laden Truck. Being classified as an essential service having contracts with the government, he got a lot of other perks where rations were concerned and were a lot better off than most people. He kept another family going as well as he had them certified as his Charcoal suppliers so they were essential as well. Grandad said he never minded dirt or rough roads as it meant he didn't have to get out and stoke the fire, the Bumps did that for him. They were always very fond of Charcoal burners and I think Grandad was always secretly on the lookout for one to use for something 30 years later. Looking forward to seeing you run an engine on this and if you could show some sort of filter before the engine just to illustrate if the gas is clean or has any residues to it. Great vid and very well narrated and edited!

I designed and built a charcoal retort that uses focused sunlight as its heat source. As chunk wood is heated anaerobically (no oxygen) it off- gasses through a small tube. Those off gasses will run an internal combustion engine (lawnmower engine).

I see that is your igntion port. Yeah get this lit and as soon as your nozzles can take over get that port shut off as soon as possilble. That is consuming your char down to ash prematurely. But I also think your nozzle on top is too big. It should 1 inch or less for engnines under 500cc.

@@t.h.o.r. Are you injecting or adding water? H2 dont burn blue it burns as orange an orange. Only lab grade H2 will burn blue. The H2 that is produced in a gasifier is actually H2s its not pure. Generally when you see a " blue" flare this is a high concentration of CO and generally weak gas. When you see Orange this is not bad or does it mean tar is produced. Tar also will turn the flare Orange / Yellow but its a different color than H2. If you note the flare is puffy looking; this is the water reforming in the flare and then flashing back to steam. So that is a sign that its H2 and not tar. Violet / Pink colors are a healthy wood gas flare this is just a good mix of H2 CH4 and CO all mixed together. I dont pay any attention to flare color anymore, Ive learned it dont matter. At the end of the day if there is no tar' its working . So whats it matter.
