Gasifier Experimenters Kit

Gasifier Experimenters Kitfuel you can burn in your internal combustion engine, cookingstove, heating furnace and/or flamethrower. Upmigration to liquidfuels is also possible with some additional effort and commoncatalysts.Sound impossible?Well, over one million vehicles in Europe ran onboard gasifiersduring WWII to make fuel from wood and charcoal, as gasolineand diesel were rationed and/or unavailable. Long before therewas biodiesel and ethanol, we actually succeeded in a large-scale,alternative fuels redeployment-- and one which curiously usedonly cellulosic biomass, not the oil and sugar based biofuelsources which famously compete with food.This redeployment was made possible by the gasification of wastebiomass, using simple gasifiers about as complex as a traditionalwood stove. These small-scale gasifiers are easily reproduced (andimproved) today by DIY enthusiasts using simple hammer andwrench technology. The same principles are applied at muchlarger scale and complexity to recover a wide variety ofmunicipal, agricultural, construction, forestry and industrial wasteto energy, soil amendments and other useful end products.ALL Power Labs now offers the Gasifier Experimenters Kit(GEK) to help you get started in the biomass thermal conversionarts and sciences.Questions?
