Hey my lawnmower is acting up and I told my wife I'm going to make a gasifier generator. I glad I just ran across another great mind. Congrats.

Nice :) . I have a couple of thousand hours of woodgas generator runtime on my system, here on my little farm. Been off the power grid since 1994, and I am loving it :) .

Amazing display of ingenuity. I never have seen such a contraption. Thanks for showing a wonderful invention of using a cheaper fuel other than gasoline to run the engine. 👍

Great idea and layout. One thing you may want to consider is to add a flywheel to the engine shaft to make it easier to start and run a bit smoother once it does. Lawnmower engines utilize the mower blade as a flywheel for added inertia for starting and it makes for a smoother compression stroke with a bit less vibration.

Holy shit man. I had the idea a couple days ago to build a Jenny out of an old gas powered power washer motor. this takes it to a whole new level. I'm planning on a second gasifier build now. I want a setup like this. You sir are a genius.

I really like the simplicity of this. Once I saw it come together, I thought of a way to simplify a little more. The alternator could be mounted under the deck, directly under the engine shaft, and connected with a lovejoy coupling. That would eliminate the belt, and the energy loss belts require. But your layout is already great.

You sir are a craftsman! Great ideas well executed. Congrats on the move to Texas. I’m in he Houston area. I’ll be watching!

Rare to see a black man who can mechanic and fabricate. My mom’s boyfriend is a black man who can do all of this too. He’s damn good at it too and a damn good man.

Looks that lawn mower was already tore up. you might as well tear it down..lol

This is a great setup. Anxious to find out if it works well in the long run. Will admit that music was a distraction, but not complaining. Appreciate the effort to share the knowledge. Thanks. 🖖🏼

and there it is - mind blown already this year - well done sir. I dig it !!!

Sounded like an intake valve was getting sticky from tar, I could hear the valve train slapping. That engine is more likely too small for the gasifier. Those small engines that size are very difficult to run on a raw fuel gasifier to begin with. Even the best machines will make tar as there just is not enough volume to drive the reactions. 500 cc Ive found is about the limit. Any smaller charcoal gasification is a much better solution. They run way more stable, no tar and with the water injection the gas is more powerful.

I have an old riding mower that i'm wanting to do this same thing with. Thanks!

love it

very impressive! You are a great teacher! Thank you so much.

Finally a how to with a good array of music. People keep using whatever the “stock images” for music is.

Awesome brother Your A Genius

i thought wood just burned as smoke and there was no useable energy left. Thanks for sharing this video.

A second pulley for starting the engine would be very useful.

S1R9A9M9 ran his mower engine on just water in carb, with amps through plug the same time. ( water vapor pressure + small Hydrogen ) A Triple coils assembly was used with plated #14 gray and red copper wire from riding mower chassis. Circuit has 100% on 7turns Magnetic field as 90 degrees over 5 turns of #12 gauge wire for firm frame for the upper 7 turns. see wire with side tap joint #1 to ground, 6-10amps through plug, accessory spark gap, diodes, Timing shifted to -34degrees late timing by the field, the 6-10amps fire only when plug fires through 13 turns. Joint #2 as Hi V + amps together to plug. Water in carburetor changes to water vapor pressure at low end of piston stroke, along with minute amount of hydrogen gas that also fires. Vacuum pulls only level of water engine needs. Electrical Circuit source of resistance to limit current not known. Battery start, battery removed., Circuit runs on onboard dual alternators - Probably AC for field + DC for spark plug amps, (or Bridge rectifier to get 15 A) . High voltage ignition is negative with positive ground. EGR was not applied on Briggs 18HP as was done with earlier car conversions that used sets of obsolete relays. S1R coils was to replace the unusual relays. He called it electromagnet + booster coils.Original spark plug of 4kohm changed to 125ohm QC12YC About 1300 v required to push current through plug. Induction cross voltage leakage from Ignition., or flyback high volts effect from 2MH coil included. Engine ran on water at idle speed and sounds somewhat like a water pump! Parts contained in plastic tub on side of engine with wires coming down from upper engine cowl and all wires wrapped in blk elec tape - it's not just 1 plug wire!. Alternator wires always come out on left side Briggs starter motor. Extension cord , if jumped at the plug end, can be the extra long RETIURN WIRE from bottom of spark plug he said was required and back to tub alt wire. See S1R9A9M9 Videos #1 + #2. at slow speed. Web site shut down....

Better put the bolt back in the lawnmower blade adapter before the rusted part works itself loose and comes flying off.

This one is awesome... Been researching this for a bit and this one looks awesome!!!

Dayom!! Ive been into rocket stoves for a minute and have even made a couple out of concrete and one with just brick. I have never seen anything likw that! Im gonna look buy please let there be a video of the gasifier build!

Cereal box cardboard would work as a good carb gasket. Ditch the rtv

Awesome ingenuity. One suggestion (if it hasn’t already been mentioned) is have a lever to engage the pulley for the alternator. You can start it easier with no load then ease the pulley in to engage the POWAH! I subscribed

That's pretty cool.

Did you ever get it running better? Need some more followup vids man! Pretty cool build...can you do drawings of the build?

Good job, you sir are a genius!

could you put the battery a little closer to your ignition source?

good idea and project, but damn buy some new gloves....... lol

Do you have a butane tank attached on the bottom? What fuel are you talking about? Is the logs burning, creating a fuel?

Could the gasifier be down sized a bit for a more compact setup? How many watts does it produce? Wood gas is very cool. Excellent work!

nice contraption but you have some losses on the belt/tensions/friction/ why not mount the alternator to the shaft directly? nice introduction to self-sufficiency, thanks

nice ,i will be watching. music is tooo loud or i am tooo old?

Nice 👍

Another great video

Won't you need to excite the alternator to get it to charge?

What if you added a flywheel to the pulley system?

So is this going to have an inverter (or inverters?) connected to the battery bank?

Do u have blue prints?

Why do you need a battery? What would you need to do to be able to attach residential outlets?

At what point do you turn off the blower moter?

I noticed your paint seems to be burning off each video. Have you tried switching from regular rustoleum to a high heat rated paint?

Hello. It is possible to run 2 stroke motor on wood gas?

What kind of alternator did you use?

??vendes los planos para aséeme uno igual del wood gasified como podría adquirir los plans y el costo$$$

whats up with mr allen and the porn site in the commments

Do u have blue prints?
