Gentlemen,
please review and re-distribute as widely as you think is
appropriate : this is a simplified downdraft gassifier that was designed
and tested back in the late 80’s for use in an emergency if petroleum based
fuel was unavailable for essential activities such as agricultural food
production and emergency transport.
It should be noted : devices of this type will almost completely degrade
the nitrate content of the biomass that is used to fuel them. Anyone who
therefore proposes that these are a long term “solution” to peak oil should
stop and think carefully before they take this position. They are merely
an emergency stop gap. Nothing more.
Regards,
Stuart Braid
