<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Kev and Gasification
Colleagues,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kev, you reflect very well the difference
between Tom Reed and myself in saying:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV></STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>>For those who are new, Tom Reed is
actually the living gasification legend as I and many other researchers and
developers benefited very much from his books and
>publications. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>As a you are one of the many researchers
and developers who have benefited, I don't remember you telling this forum about
what your work, or is that confidential?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>What scientific publication Doug Williams has a
part from his web site to sell world war-II downdraft gasifiers ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>The Fluidyne archive was set up at a time
(1997-8) as a place to record the work and photos of what had done
specifically for the members of this Forum, because I was closing down the
commercial production facility in New Zealand. I do not sell gasifiers to
anyone, but agreements are in place, to draw from this early work to develop
more advanced versions of the gasification process.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't write Papers for Scientific
publication, because that would be of no value to
anyone, especially for reference papers to add to the Bibliography of their
own studies. Reading about gasification doesn't quite teach you how to
understand it as a technology. I'm a nuts and bolts bloke.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not think worldwide Gasification community can
benefit so much from commercially sensitive people like Doug
Williams.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>I guess you are referring to the
Gasification Community as it exists now, where free copy stuff is the only
way to go(:-) Having had to earn $$ to feed my family from gasification,
sort of puts a different value on knowledge.</STRONG></FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2><STRONG> The last free time I gave to the Worldwide gasification
community, was as one of the outside expert advisors to set up the
EU Gasification Guidelines. Even academics have need for nut and
bolt blokes! </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tom Reed was the most reliable resource that the
Gasification community relied so far because he shared everything that he
discovered.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Tom Reed</STRONG> <STRONG>shares his
academic abilities, not his commercial know-how, and in rescuing many of the
publications relating to gasification, made it possible to for even Fluidyne to
obtain factual information. I am only a part of a very diverse group of people
who contribute to gasification in differing ways, so try to appreciate
the differences of our contribution. We are all gone soon
enough.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
