...and reading scientific papers is useless if you don't first learn 
to sift the grantseeker junk from real science and real experience.
I learned what little I know of socio-economics reading Ernst Friedrich
Schumacher's "Small Is Beautiful", 5 times, trying to figure out WTF 
some grantseeker parasite put it into the reference section of his
fancy shiny buzzwordy toiletpaper. 

..look at things and people with _proven_ records.  And learn how 
e.g. their flaws were used to keep up the military etc pressure on 
the Nazi occupation of Norway.  And compare with e.g. the Swedish 
Kãlle gasifier or Finnish professor Kyrklund's selfcleaning gasifier 
and turbocharged wood gas mid-1940ies experiments.

...which is a requirement to get _anywhere_ in thermochemical
gasification, hot air babble is just that, hot air babble.
