Dear Les, Thats an intresting reaction. One of my DriZzleR subscribers is in the mids of investing Hydrogen out of woodgas. See also this article. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2021/se/d0se01637c

Thank you.

That is true. Life got in the way. Pascal was no longer intrested and I have been busy building my new house. This is almost fiished and I am now looking for a new electronik-engine guy to restart. In the mean time it was nice to see al lot of "drizzler buiders apearing on the net".

Thank you!

Dear Ismail, Yes of course you can upscale a DriZzler, It all depends on your suction force to maintain a full Flaming Pyrolise zone over the entire diameter of your falling tube and avoid a hot spot. Then again you will have to use a powerfull engine wich is ok because you also will produce a big amount of gas.

Have you first filled it up about 10 to 15 centimeter above the grate with charcoal? Charcoal must be about half inch large. Light the charcoal and start your blower to suck the smoke through the charcoal untill the top of the charcoalbed becomes glowing red hot. Only then Drizzle pieces of wood some half to one inch in the red hot glow. adjust the speed of your blower untill the smoke that comes out of your Flare pipe can be lighted and the flare does not goes out. Hope this explanation helps..succes

Thank you for watching. No need to restrict the amount of air if your engine is capable to consume all the gas. If using a less powerfull engine you can restrict the diameter of your fall tube.

Thank you for your video.

Dear John, no I do not have instructions. Too much things on my head and no time. Look for the video of the learning DrizzleR to have an easy start from where you can proceed further with your own creativity kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNhkitR0uMqdoqM.html there are 3 videos of the learning drizzler, succes

Dear Krishna, than you very much!

Thank you Brown.

Dear David, Thank you for the nice and encouraging words!

It is an old project. I abandoned it. You may copy it, it s not difficult. Take a good look and you will understand the function.

@@LukVanhauwaert the effort to do so would be as Albert Einstein said ( to know the inner working of a mechanical watch by mearly looking at it 😉) Besides I am technically challenged to be modest

Rais, I use a centrifugual vacuum blower driven by a frequency regulator. Something like this: www.indiamart.com/proddetail/centrifugal-vacuum-blowers-15296514088.html

@@raismohammadmuqeemmubin3379 Dear Rias, I am going through a very difficult period, in terms of time, also I am patenting a complete new hearthe design wich I must keep enclosed untill the patent is granted.

Dear Rais, Hard to tell with such little information. You could first widen the end of your flare. When the gas exit in a bigger diameter short tube it will expand and slow down, also it will better mix with air and thus easier ignite. Look at this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7x0Y5uqqduzXX0.html at 2 minutes 30 seconds the flare is visible. You see it goes from a 1 inch pipe with at the end a small piece 2 inch. Hope this helps.

Thank you, seems you put also a lot of effort on your system. <here in Europe not so much people driving woodgas cars, Most of them are in Scandinavia. The bulk of systems are for stationary co generation heat and energy. Here the feeding controller is better to see; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZp3dZaK0JvTeac.html

Dear Marcus, I have little to no experience with gasificatrion for transport as all my systems are for stationary use. I control my gas/air mixing valve automaticaly with a lampda sensor on the exhaust.

@@LukVanhauwaert I have a basic live feed O2 (lambda) sensor that is mounted in the truck so I can watch it while I drive to help set the mixture just right, it works very well. Feel free to see my videos and you can see my truck and how it is built, I have a full walk around video of the truck that is 30 minutes long

@@BigBeavrSlayer I sure will do.

Dear Max, An electrostatic filter is sure a good thing but does not solve all problems. Special the moisture content in the gas can lead to problematic situations.

Thank you for looking into my channel. Indeed, gasification has everything tot do wit suction. Apparantly the volkwagen engine did not pulled enough on the gasifier to keep the temperature high. Indeed the fall-tube diameter limiting is the solution.

Adriano, Nein kompresieren von Holzgaz ist leider praktisch nicht mochlich. Shon in sehr kurzen zeit decompressiert sich dass gas in seine einzelen komponenten. Auserdem ist es sehr agressiv und korodieren sehr schnell alle leitungen. Im zweiten weltkrieg hatt man mit autobusse betreiben mit woanders erzeugtes gas. mann hat aber dass gas nicht compressiert nur in eine riesen luftblase die auf dach lag reingeblasen. So konnten die busse nach einige kilometer an einigen stellen immer die blase nachfullen lassen

Luk vielen Dank für die Erklärung.

Dear Nicolas, this littel learning gasifier is not to compare with a TLUD. It is to learn the principles of a DriZzleR gasifier from wich the aim is to make engine grade gas. Gas that is clean enough to burn in a combustion engine from a cogeneration unit.

Dear Assiem, Thank you for commenting. honestly I do not know because I do not have the needed laboratory equipement to measure the flow. but I can give you an indication. With the 1.6 liter VW motor ataached the gasifier can easely cope with even the highest load in the engine. furthermore the DriZzleR desig deliveres gas on demand. The more the engin pulls on the gasifier the more the pyrotouch sensor feed feedstock. The only limitation is to guard the reduction zone. As long as the reduction zone stays in place you get nice gas. If you want more gas just widen the fall tube.

@@LukVanhauwaert Dear Luk, thank you so much for your prompt reply! How much maximum power does the 1.6 l engine produce? Is it ok with wood chips also? Can you share your email Id for more details?

@@assiemmittal1093 You could get some idea in this video about the power consumption/versus fuel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y696otiFz6mvj40.html We tested woodchips and it works but results vary because chips are not stadardised fuel. I am sorry about the mail. I had to end mail coimmunications. just too much, some day's i was sitting whole day answering questions. Now that I have so much video's on the tube, everybody can make a DriZzleR by the information the films contain.

thank you!

Dear Johnny, It is simple. Merely a "ram" going up and down. On top of the stable part a mikroswitch. If the fuel level is high then the top of the moving part does not closes the switch. Only when the fuel leven sinks then the moving part gets low enough to touch the mikroswitch thus giving a signal to the auger feeder motor. in this older video you see the pyrotouch a bit more in detail; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZp3dZaK0JvTeac.html

@@LukVanhauwaert Ok, thx ill check it out. What do you think of planer chips/shavings as a fuel? (I live close to a company making lists for building construction/renovation)

@@johnnyhedlund206 In the same video I gave you the link to see a bit ccloser the pyrotouch, I tested small woodchips. It did not went all that good. The reduction zone gets overpacked and the gasifier can not breath propper anymore. But I have since altered my agitation system so one day I like to test small mikrochips again. So to answer your question, take good care of a good agitation system that can free your reduction from overpacking. So testing, testing and more testing of differance forms of agitation for you ahead.

@@LukVanhauwaert Ill try with premade pellets 1st, and then the larger shavings when they do the rough surface cuts (which are way larger then the ones from the planer) (Its NOT like sawdust from a chainsaw, more like a cm or 2 woodcuts)

Yes, I agree, but this is a very old video of the first time I tested the DriZzleR gasifier in a car. Revently the setup runs fully automatic and the air/gas mix is controled by a lambda sonda and an automatic Belimo valve. looks like this, Have a look at this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebyFeshjms2rmmQ.html

Mostly the limit is not the run of the DriZzleR gasifier but it is the ecces of hot water. In winter I can use some of the warm water for heating but when my buffer is full I have to shut down the gasifier. Another concer is the fact my gasifier is self made, so with limited engineerded safety devices so I do not like to leave it completely by its own, I must regulary keep an eye on it. The longest run I did in one go was a day, night and day. Just for testing and with allways someone in shifts around.

@@powerwallfordummies872 Thanks, want to build one myself one day. I wonder if it would be possible to make something as reliable as the Spanner Re's. I have PLC knowledge in hand but the gasification filtering techniques are often kept quiet secret. I imagine these 30-40kw would be a lot cheaper sourcing some good used engines/generators.

Catch the water coming from the gasifier. This is wood vinegar, and it is full of hormones and nutrients for plants. Your plants' roots will love this. Look up a product called "Regenisys". I worked with that company for a while, on a large wood gasifier.

Obwohl ein DriZzleR sehr vergebeniswertig is; wass die durchmesser von Fallrohr angeht, ( Ich sage immer, ein Drizzler produciert gas "On demand" Also nur sofiel als der motor abnimmt) Muss mann doch drauf achten dass die Flammende Pyrolyse Heiss genug bleibt, Also immer muss die saugkraft stimmen damit die F.P. ubr 1000 grad bleibt. Meisten wann der motor belastung hatt ist dass so, aber Beim leerlauf kann es zu kuhl werden. Darum habe ich meine fahlrohre jetz verengt bis auf 100mm. Meine jetsige arbeit binn ich auf die suche der DriZzleR so zu obtimalisieren damit er so wenig wie mochlich kohlestaub produciert und damit ein aufwandigen "filtertrain" vermieden werden kann. Fruher hatten wir mal zum witz ungefilteres gas durch der motor gejagd. hatt gut geklapt und mich an denken gebracht.

@@LukVanhauwaert Danke für Deine Antwort :) Ich würde hier eher auf 150mm gehen. Beim 100er saugt doch sonst der Motor die Pyrolyse leer. Ich hab das ausprobiert und damit sehr viel Kohleschlamm erzeugt. Aber Dank meines modularen Aufbaus, kann ich alles untereinander tauschen. Wenn der 150er nicht passt, dann kommt ein 130er drauf.

@@ravelkoff3549 Ja, wie beim jeder vergaser, (beim der DrizzleR ist es etwas weniger kritisch), Muss der saugkraft stimmen. Zwei mochligkeiten sind da anwesend. Beim DriZzleR Experimentieren mit der genaue durchmesser fhlrohr und experimentieren mit der tiefe des reductionszone (Beim letster kommen ne ganse menge neue problemen dabei die mann dann auch losen muss. (Packing, Bridging, Hollbrende..etc..)

@@LukVanhauwaert Ja genau. Ich habe meinen 100er stundenlang auf Herz und Nieren getestet, kann aber immernoch nicht sagen, wie er sich mit einem großen Motor verhält. Mein Golf steht bereit und wartet noch eineige Teile für den Motorständer. Danach gehts daran den Motor aus- und auf dem Bock aufzubauen. Und dann geht das genaue Testen los :)

Hi Falcon, I use a special technique wich is a combination of controlled packing by an underpressure sensor in the reduction, by means of the Pyrotouch and a T tube, beeing the vertical the fall tube and the horizontal the reduction tube. If I have created a stable and lightly packed reduction then I guard this pre-packed reduction to keept it just enough breathing to produce enough needed gas. If the reduction gets the risk of Too much packing I gently stir it up with a auger like vise. Lots of people in Germany are now copying this thechnique together with the DriZzling method. For the moment i further developed a complete new hearth very promising design wich I am in the mids of testing. I will publish in due time some video's on this new type. Maybe you would like to subscribe and hit the bell so you will receive news on that video. Thanks for following my work
