My Home-Made Biomass Gasifier

Michael Davis is a true DIY’er. He’s built everything from solar panels to wind turbines, and this is a remarkably ambitious project that’s still a work in progress, though it does work. Good words of warning here – be well aware of the following before attempting this project: “… A word of warning here. This project is dangerous. Metal working and welding are involved in the construction, so all the usual dangers of laceration, burns and electrocution that go along with them are present. Use all necessary precautions. Also, the operation of a biomass gasifier produces lots of heat, flammable and poisonous gasses. Never operate the gasifier indoors. The gasses produced are flammable and potentially explosive if allowed to accumulate in an enclosed space, like a building. Also, the Carbon Monoxide the gasifier produces is lethal! Only operate the gasifier outdoors and try to stay up wind of the unit when it is running. Treat the gas coming out of the gasifier with the same respect as you would for the natural gas that you may have piped into your house. It is just as potentially explosive and deadly. …”
