[Gasification] Where is Everyone?

[Bob Stuart]

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,

Spiritwood, SK
