Doug would a ram jet engine run ok on Woodgate? It should...Turbine in outflow from ram jet?C

    Hi Bob,
    I have seen direct coupled car turbo's hooked to a pressurized
      gasifier/stove, and in that situation, was fed hot gas straight
      out of the gasifier. It's not that it doesn't work, just that it's
      almost impossible to prevent the impeller from coking up and
      blocking. Not sure how you would actually hook a generating device
      on this, but opportunity to develop that hot gas to power directly
      would be a game changer. You also have to consider the power
      demand required for air input compression.

      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,
