[Gasification] Where is Everyone?

[bayent]

Water tube solves issue and if a leak comes it just puts out fireI grew up around steam power and have sawn in steam powwer sawmill My father in law built steam engines Every year someone would want a bit more power and jack up pressure or wire down relief valveBang and dead people I would find a used steam pressure washer and fire wood gas flame into itSteam engine will virtual run  forever with a little careI think maybe it is " tiny power " had kits engines or whole unitsWas set up to build a system here when gasification boiler and everything went in a 50,000 + loss fireNo insurance as non CSA heating system I hate the man....Good luck and keep us up on thisI have a new shop again and working on another gasification unit for spark engine / generation / heatOh hummm ehDoug hope all is goodGood luck allCharles

    Of course.  Pressure vessels
      are a known hazard, so that has to be considered in any
      adaptation.   However, the big danger with boilers is the amount
      of superheated water that will flash to steam if something
      ruptures.  I'm just talking about a few cubic feet of hot air that
      can expand 30% in an accident if using one car turbo.

      Love a duck man be careful 
      Boilers blow
      Water tube boilers have a place perhaps 
      Look at triple expansion three cylinder steam engine 
      That's my opinion and worth what I charge 0
      Happy new year

      Best Possible New Year, everyone.
      I arrived here after a period with
          wood heat but no electricity at all, when I got interested in
          steam.  Thanks to all for a great education on the options.  I
          am hoping to find a new situation with younger people around
          where I can use a gasifier.  What I'd like to try would be
          expensive if I wanted maximum efficiency, but where the need
          for heat is high and power modest, I think a great
          simplification might work.  

        
      With a turbocharger from a car, I
          think it would be easy to just pressurize an airtight stove to
          produce a solid-fuel gas turbine.  I presume that sticking a
          magnet on the cold end would let a coil pull the power off. 
          Raising the pressure would get more efficiency, but drive up
          the bill for exotic materials.

        
      Best,
      Bob Stuart,

        Hi Gasification Colleagues,
        It's 2017 already and Happy New
            Year to anyone still linked to this forum. I was surprised
            to see that no one has written anything since August 2016,
            but then, even I have had little to offer by way of
            interesting activity myself. With that in mind, I will post
            a Fluidyne Archive update once I take a few more photos.

          
        The trigger for this contact
            with the G.List, was a visit to me on the 30th December,
            from my friend of 31 years, Dr Ludo Lacrosse who is well
            known across  Asia for his work with energy projects. His
            office is in Bangkok, so a chance for us to catch up and
            gossip about all those people who have in the past  made
            contributions to gasified projects. Even though we work
            closely with people for years at times, they still drop out
            of sight and friendships put on the "back burner".   

          
        So where are you all, and let's
            hear your 2017 opinions of renewable energy.
        Doug Williams,
        Fluidyne.
