Hi from Tübingen University,S. Germany,

I have been experimenting with the TLUD Biomass Gasifier, usually small versions for camping and portability.

I would like to make one with SPIRAL,METAL, OUTER AIR CHANNELS. This would,to an extent, increase the efficiency of the combustion process and significantly decrease the amount of the CARBON MONOXIDE produced.
Thus enabling the TLUD to be not as high compared to it's width, which would increase the stability ( important for camping and mobile applications ).

The Spiral Air Channels ( flat would be best ) could be made in different ways,but all having staggered METAL AIR BAFFLES,to increase the heating effect of the air.

What would, probably,be best is if the side of the combustion chamber was made from the SPIRAL, METAL TUBES welded together.I think a type of steel would be more favourable than ,for example, copper,which would begin flaking under high temperatures.

The Spiral Air Channels would also produce a VORTEX EFFECT (a special area of physics), which would also greatly increase the combustion efficiency and decreasing the Carbon Dioxide output.

I have used ROCKWOOL as an outer insulator,with a wire "net" as a support, with good results , even on the bottom of the combustion chamber.It is also very light,inexpensive and easy to obtain and apply.I don't recommend Glass Fibre.
The insulator could also be earth,sand etc. which can be obtained "on-site" and discarded when "on-the-move".

It is also possible to have another coil, e.g. copper, for heating water for cooking or a shower.

There other ideas i have, for example utilising a Coanda Effect etc.

As i have limited resources and no money, no honey; namely Lo-Fi ,No-Fi (Low-Finance, No-Finance) this might take me some time, if at all, to accomplish.

Anyway, i think it is good to pass this information on to people who can utilise it.

I hope this information is helpful.

Yours sincerely,

Dhan Hurley,
