Making wood gas from my imbert wood gasifer was proving difficult until I made a few simple modifications. No more bridging issues.

My initial constriction in the reduction zone was 50mm or 2 inch and I was finding that my wood chips would simply block and bridge at this point. By widening the constriction to 3 inch or 75mm, all my problems went away, and the volume of wood gas went up.
My intention is to run a 15HP engine and a 3 inch constriction is perfect according to the FEMA guidelines.

In the video I reference the FEMA plans and if you haven't found them on google, then here is the link to the rather impressively detailed plans that were drawn up in the 1940's:

The other really useful link is the site where you can make you cone templates. I have used these all the time and they really do work. Aside from making cones, you will find this website full of useful things you never know you needed.:

Anyway, I am getting closer to hooking up my engine, but first I need to sort my filters out. Stay tuned on how I do this to create the magical blue flame that indicates low carbon and low tar......
