Gasifier Experimenters Kit - Pole Shift Survival Information

Gasifier Experimenters KitOther Designs OnlineGasifier SystemComponentsTechnical ResourcesGasification Worshop (June,08)The GEK kit is designed in a modular fashion whichallows for easy switching between common reactor typesand operating regimes. Each "reactor type" is a separateassembly that bolts into a common "gas cowling and ashhandling" base. See here for the full list of planned GEKreactors. Within each reactor type, relevant variables areeasily adjusted and sub-assemblies are simply replacedvia standardized "bolt to" flanges.The result is a Lego system of gasification- a motivatedand flexible building system enabling you to run,compare and share results over a wide range ofarchitectures and commonly discussed --but rarelyimplemented-- "expert configurations".Getting Started in DowndraftGasificationThe default reactor offered for the GEK system is anozzle and constriction (Imbert type) downdraft reactor.An Imbert downdraft is the usual starting point forgenerating low tar wood gas to power internalcombustion engines. The GEK version combines allcommon Imbert type variations into a single configurablereactor, with easy adjustability of all critical dimensions.Here's what it can do:●●●●●●●variable combustion / reduction zone size andshape (tube, bell, inverted V, hourglass)variable air nozzle position and sizeair preheating (or lack there of)active tar recycling into incoming airvariable air injection architecture (air from top,bottom, or side annular ring)"monorator" type condensing hopperrotary grates/stirrer additionsThe GEK Imbert reactor is delivered with a defaultconfiguration known to produce clean syngas whenoperated by a knowledgeable enthusiast.
