Whether starting with wood chips or coffeegrounds, municipal trash or agricultrual waste, the endproduct is a flexible gaseous fuel you can burn in yourinternal combustion engine, cooking stove, heatingfurnace and/or flamethrower. Upmigration to liquid fuelsis also possible with some additional effort and commoncatalysts.Sound impossible?Well, over one million vehicles in Europe ran onboardgasifiers during WWII to make fuel from wood andcharcoal, as gasoline and diesel were rationed and/orunavailable. Long before there was biodiesel andethanol, we actually succeeded in a large-scale,alternative fuels redeployment-- and one which curiouslyused only cellulosic biomass, not the oil and sugar basedbiofuel sources which famously compete with food.This redeployment was made possible by the gasificationof waste biomass, using simple gasifiers about ascomplex as a traditional wood stove. These small-scalegasifiers are easily reproduced (and improved) today byDIY enthusiasts using simple hammer and wrenchtechnology. The same principles are applied at muchlarger scale and complexity to recover a wide variety ofmunicipal, agricultural, construction, forestry andindustrial waste to energy, soil amendments and otheruseful end products.ALL Power Labs now offers the Gasifier ExperimentersKit (GEK) to help you get starts in the biomass thermalconversion arts and sciences.Questions?
