<DIV>What, and how big, are the fuel chunks ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>most gasifiers do NOT like wood chips, or really "fine" fuel, the
interstitial space the gasifier is designed to run with, is generally much
larger than that of chips or fine feedstock, using the correct sized fuel,
in-turn, lowers the reaction core temperature, thus creating more, and more
consistant amounts, of CO. (the main flamable gas, in woodgas). (H2 and CH4
are simply "bonus" gases.....)</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>They tell me that the JXQ-10 gasifier is a forerunner to
this machine. I have one of those. I’d like to be able to correspond
with others who have this style of machine. Currently I am having
mixed results getting a steady flow of good gas to run my 6.5 KW
Onan 1800 rpm genset from it. On Saturday, I got it to deliver
about 3.8 kw for about 12 minutes, but then the quality of the gas
deteriorated. On Sunday a similar test produced worse results, but
over about a one hour period, with gas quality again deteriorating as the
test went proceded. <U></U><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> I am not writing to waste the time of senior
members here by asking them to troubleshoot my problems, without enough
info. Just want to show what kind of issues I have for those who might
be involved with similar equipment.<U></U><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> My goals are to: 1. See how much power I can
squeeze out of the generator for an extended period of time with this gas
source, and 2. To get some actual experience making
woodgas.<U></U><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U><U></U> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Looking back over my videos and notes, I can see a dozen
or two things that I could do better next time.<U></U><U></U></P>
