From "You build it from scratch" to "We deliver itcomplete"; you decide the relative amount of "effort vs cost" you want to invest towards your finished unit.All GEK kits include relevant parts for a full gasifier system-- not just the raw gas making reactor. Most builders quickly learn that a wood gas unitis as much as filtering, cooling, vac/blower, burner and fuel feed system, as it is the core gas making reactor. Do not underestimate the challenges ofthese other upstream and downstream components. The GEK kit is honest about the full range of challenges, and doesn't leave you to discover theserealities later on your own. Every GEK kit addresses the following components:- fuel hopper- reactor- gas/ash cowling- cyclone- packed bed filter- vac/blower- burnerWhat varies between different kit "levels" is how many parts we include (i.e. how many we leave you to buy/source), and how much fabrication wecontribute towards the final integrated unit. The end GEK is the same whichever route you choose to realize it. Thus all GEKs are comparable andsolutions shareable between different users.Kit Levels and CostParts Includedhttp://www.allpowerlabs.org/gasification/gek/purchase.html (1 of 6) [10/9/2008 08:00:29]
