[Gasification] why the hang up with power generation?

Thu Sep 25 00:16:16 CDT 2014

*Dear Friends,**
I am greatly interested in small gasifiers also. But I could not get any 
good proven design so far.
However I feel that gasifier can not work so widely everywhere as steam 
engine can work. Because gasifier requires uniform size of fuel and 
another limitation is that gas of gasifier can work in a diesel engine 
where some percentage of diesel is required constantly. So you can not 
get rid of diesel completely. Is this correct?
How ever if I get drawings of the gasifier which may produce 10 KW 
power, then I am interested to develop it. So any if any one of you can 
send me drawings, I will be highly obliged. I will develop gasifier , 
make experiment and will inform to everybody.
I am giving below price list of my steam engines and steam power plants.
