WOOD POWERED LAWN MOWER

gasification gasification gasification yes we are going to produce some

wood

gas now, this is an old technology and basically if you burn

wood

in a high temperature low oxygen environment it will give off a gas. Now it's a bit like charcoal, so in a way I've done this as a brief little experiment just to see if it works. If you fill this pot with wood, you take off the lid and take out a pipe. You know, you fill the outside of this with fire and you'll get smoke. Put it out, but inside that smoke is gas and if you light it with a blowtorch you can see a little bit of a flash of flame.

Let's make a better one because I want to run an engine with this, so we need to clean that smoke because it's full of all kinds of impurities, so we get rid of them. You can start the engines. I have this whole

lawn

mower

. Basically we're going to put a gasifier on top so we can have wood burning, the gas can come in and we could be mowing our

lawn

and we don't need any fuel station there. Electricity, no, we have my lawn

mower

with wood gasifier, oh, new, first merge, more information at the end of the video.

Well, let's continue. With that it's time for one of those conifers to build mounts, go ahead, let it go, I know you're lying baby, are you ready for me? Are you ready but can I figure it out anyway? Are you ready for me? Are you ready for me? Are you ready? for me, are you ready for me? Yes I'm ready for you, Yes I'm ready for you, Yes I'm ready, it's done, but what is colin and how does it work well? The first version that we made and that we show you. Outside, you basically built a fire around the pot, filled it with wood, released the gas, welded it on Bosch, this one is not like that, no, you still feel this little wooden chamber, a nice lid, I like it, so all. the wood sits on the bottom of our little grate, that little plate with all the holes in it and this little thing with a handle is a stirrer because as it burns it will disintegrate and then everything will want to come loose. the bottom is like slag or whatever and that's what it does, you have to shake it, move it so then you have a fire at the bottom of a huge pile of wood, but it doesn't burn, it burns and it does because in the Out of here there will be an accessory for the fan.

This is a little rough at the moment, but it's just for testing, we should put it in there and then it will basically suck air down here and also down here. which in one minute through the wood to where it's burning and then it's going to pull all the smoke out from under it to the outside of this chamber and then out and then to an engine where we can burn it now this little bit of The bottom here is like my slag catchment area so with this look we can just take this out and then this little shovel we'll just drag it into a bucket and then bring it back now this pipe here is the air inside so we can regulate the amount of air that we send right to the bottom because once it starts burning you will close the top and it will just suck in through there now where is the gas coming from?

Basically, that fire in the background. This inner pot is going to create heat which will then char the wood over the fire and give off the gas and then this is the weird part: it's going to pull the gas through the fire and then out. Now I'm not thinking through why not. It doesn't burn everything, but it probably doesn't have enough oxygen to burn that and the wood, so we need to keep the oxygen to a minimum for it to work properly. We're going to try it. kind of like a proof of concept, it's working, I think I'll have to buy another fan and that's why the fan isn't working, yeah that's a bit difficult, okay, it was actually a successful experiment, you could see it. flammable gas inside the smoke but of course a plastic fan near it just isn't covered and it was never going to work anyway, but I said it was temporary, what we have to do now, besides cooling the gases that need. to get rid of all the gunk because you can see on the cap here all this black tar that comes out of the smoke it's horrible, it's sticky, it smells bad, we have to get rid of that, we don't want it in our engine to just be ruined.

So I think we need to let some filters know that we're getting there. The wood gas comes out the top around the cyclone, it goes up the tube, it has a little jar to see if we have any of that dirty stuff and the tubing goes down the tube then it goes up into this little filter unit which is basically a tube. in the middle with steel wool, then it goes down the outside and you have like wood chips and stuff in there to filter even more and then it goes out to the engine. I've got this little clear thing at the top here so we can see if anything's happening and see if there's any smoke in there.

Very nice, of course, by fiddling with the lawnmower I managed to get it working, it's a runner, let's put this together. up and see if it works. Okay, it's mounted on the lawnmower. Now we have a small valve installed here. I put it in the car with a small 3D printed adapter. I removed the fuel tank so it's definitely only running on wood gas, I've completely disconnected so you can't look at me, see collin, you're cheating, there's fuel in there, that's not right, we've got a valve here that It will regulate the air that enters the carburetor.

We have this valve that will regulate the wood gas that goes into the carburetor and then we have this one that we can turn off the fan. The fan still might not work, it might melt again, but hopefully after it's been through all this nonsense it would have cooled down enough and will be fine we have the speed controller on the truck it's all tangled up the batteries there we have some wood you know the jar has gotten a little cloudy heating up no I don't think we're at that point yet it's working it's working look it's got a lot of water look good it's not working but I think the wood might be too wet.

I have a lot of drops and things like that around here and that's it. I'm not going to help anyone, so I think I'll take out all the wood and get some dryer wood. Well there's still plenty of canvas so I've had a look online and I don't think it's getting hot enough so I guess. I'm going to take a little look at the burner. This is the old one that doesn't taper much and this is the new one that does taper, so it's got a thinner end and it's got a little bit of catchment area here.

A slightly different shaker. Brilliant. and then we have four air inlets instead of one big one, all adjustable. I'd say let's hit him. We enter. Go Go. Fresh air is needed. Why am I doing this inside? It's the shed. Everything happens in the shed. It is not like this? I've got a little shine down there. Look, as you can see, okay, version 750. I changed the grate on the bottom to a cup because I think the fire that we're producing falls through it too easily, so. that will keep it going a little longer and I will also light it from above with flares because I think by lighting from below we don't get a deep enough fire and therefore it doesn't produce as much heat as I want. to produce and then to get rid of the moisture, oh we've added a bunch of pipes that are like a radiator and a few more jars at the bottom to hopefully collect the moisture.

Come on, let this be the one I just want to mow my lawn. it's more like it almost stays on oh my god it's working it's really working it worked unfortunately it really works I can finally mow the grass with the power of wood the lawn mower is set up now once it's working , it doesn't sound any different and it doesn't smell any different than a normal lawnmower and it was at that point that I was going to go out and film myself mowing the grass using the power of wood glass, but after I turned it off and let it cool down, it won't start .

It's completely clogging the inlet valves because basically colin my filter system isn't big enough. I've tried to make it compact to fit on the lawn mower, but this whole side of things needs to be a lot bigger because the amount of tar and well what I have to do on the engine is still too much, but it's a curveball. Learning. This is the first one I've done. I'm going to make a better one in the future because I want to power the bunker using wood gas   now I mentioned it at the beginning of the video  we have some new merch calling first yes we have the floating cops hoodie these are available in youth sizes and we also have this wonderful one and then, oh, look Also, there's a nice little t-shirt and there's also a darker one.

Oh, look at that gray and black, they're pretty now. There is a link in the description. Colin first buys there, of course, all the other goods, which I try. and do it with the best quality possible and try to make it a little bit different than other people's merchandise so get involved to support the channel and in the next video it's related to this because when I'm mowing the grass I feed myself. I like to move the swing, so I have history with swings. I made a huge 360 ​​degree swing. It's going to be a little like that.

There we are, subscribe, wait for the next video because it will be about swinging you. see you at the next swingers
