	Wood gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wood gasifier on a Ford truck converted to a tractor (an EPA tractor).
		Wood gas, also known as holzgas, air gas or blue gas, is the product of thermal gasification of biomass or other carbon containing materials such as coal in a gasifier or wood gas generator.
		Wood gas is flammable because of the carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane content.

	The Woodfired Gas Producer
		The gas butterfly is connected to a second accelerator pedal and the air butterfly to a hand operated lever on the dash.
		This can be overcome by passing the gas through a large inverted car radiator to cool the gas further and condense the moisture which returns to the filter.
		After the cooling of the gas through the steam generator it is desirable to cool it again as much as possible before entering the wet filter.

	Wood gas generator construction details
		The interior of the generator is a heat exchanger in which the heat from the exhaust gas cooks off the pyrolytic gas from the wood chips.
		Pyrolytic gas is a hodgepodge of organic compounds including methane, methanol, ethane, ethanol, methyl ethyl ether and a host of tars and heavier compounds formed when the sugars, cellulose and lignins in the wood are broken down by heat.
		To recap, raw wood was heated in the first, uppermost chamber to the point where the volatile pyrolytic gases were released, and the wood was converted to charcoal.

	Cooking In A Wood Stone Oven: Basics--Wood Vs. Gas
		Today we build all kinds of fuel configuration, wood only, gas only, and several variations of gas and wood together, but the first 800 ovens we built were wood fired only.
		Wood ovens, or any using solid fuel including coal, need to be vented independently of other pieces of cooking equipment.
		Operating a wood fired oven is not brain surgery, but it does require the operator to be a fire-tender first and a chef second.

	Yugo runs by wood-gas
		The process is based on incomplete combustion of wood: due to lack of air, gases are created: carbon monoxide, the main fuels, hydrogen and methane.
		The wood is put in the inner part which is connected to the pipe through which the gas comes to the filters.
		Vacuum must be established in the system and therefore the openings for putting in wood and taking out ash are closed with milk can lids (they found a new use here due to their adhesiveness).

	Wood to Gas
		I cooked in two Wood Stone models side by side, a gas fired unit and a wood fired unit, and even with both models reading the exact same temperature, the wood-fired unit baked the pizza 25 percent faster.
		The wood/gas combination is essentially a wood burning oven, but with a gas burner under the oven floor that acts as a kind of gas assist or gas back up.
		Wood Stone may be one of the newer companies producing wood-burning ovens, but they are building ovens that are meant to last a lifetime.

	Electricity from wood waste
		The gas generator was an airtight vessel into which was introduced a charge of wood, charcoal, or anthracite coal.
		The wood is converted to a gas with hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane as the combustible components, and nitrogen and carbon dioxide as inert gas ballast.
		The producer gas thus generated, is primarily a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

	THE “TURBO” WOOD-GAS STOVE
		Electricity, gas or kerosene are preferred for cooking - when they can be obtained However, they are costly and depend on having a suitable infrastructure and are often not available in developing countries.
		In the last few decades, many improved wood stoves have been developed (the Chula, the Hiko, the Maendeleo, the Kuni Mbili, etc.), but the new wood stoves are often more difficult to manufacture, more heat goes to heat the stove than heat the food, and they do not offer good control of cooking rate.
		As a sample, 153.7g of wood chips were loaded in the fuel magazine and 5 g of starter chips were placed on top.

	Gas and Wood Burning Fireplace.
		Though unnecessary for a gas hearth where the combustion level is easily controlled with the turn of a knob, bellows' lovely finish in attractive blends of fine woods with vinyl or leather makes them a decorative accessory.
		Clearances must be obeyed even if the combustible materials, such as wood furniture or carpets, are protected by noncombustible plaster or other masonry materials.
		Hopper - a container attached to an appliance in which fuel, either coal, nuggets or wood pellets, is stored and from which the fuel is fed to the burner.

	Wood gas generator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A wood gas generator is a wood-fueled gasification reactor mounted on an internal combustion engine, to provide a wood gas, a form of syngas.
		Usually, wood gas generators burn wood, but improvements to efficiency and energy-density are possible, by using charcoal instead.
		The project consisted of a power plant with a wood gas generator and a gas engine to convert the wood gas into 2 MW electric power and 4.5 MW heat.

	Wood fires that fit - Appropriate technology: Journey to Forever
		In fact burning wood is no bad thing: the efficient use of wood fuel is much more eco-friendly than more efficient and convenient fuels like kerosene and natural gas (LPG).
		These are gasifiers that produce gas from wood and then burn the gas, leaving charcoal (itself a useful fuel).
		Wood gas was cheaper, but charcoal gasifiers were so much easier to handle.

	More about Bingo Fuel and 'wood gas'
		Fuel gas, produced by the reduction of coal and peat, was used for heating as early as 1840 in Europe and by 1884 had been adapted to fuel engines in England.
		Until the early 1980s, wood gasifiers all over the world (including the World War II designs) operated on the principle that both the fuel hopper and the combustion unit be absolutely airtight; the hopper was sealed with a top or lid which had to be opened every time wood was added.
		Smoke and gas vented into the atmosphere while wood was being loaded; the operator had to be careful not to breathe the unpleasant smoke and toxic fumes.

	The Garlington WoodGas Stove
		Typically, the stove is burning wood gas shortly after ignition and has a stable yellow/blue flame within about 1 minute.
		After about 10 minutes the wood gas is depleted and the stove transitions to charcoal burning.
		The gas that is driven off from the flaming pyrolysis zone flows up through the charcoal stack where additional air is added resulting in nearly complete combustion and no smoke generation.

		Wood-gas modified vehicles were therefore technically a "dual fuel" vehicle in that a self-sustaining gassification of the wood charcoal, or coal required another fuel to start the process.
		Larger, more powerful vehicles required separate gas reservoirs to compensate for gassifer outputs which were less than the fuel consumption rate of the engine.
