<p>Hi Bob,</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p><font face="DejaVu Serif">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. <br>

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.<br>
