From my limited research, Wayne Keith appears to be the man when it comes to understanding and utilizing gasification in vehicles. In this video Mr. Keith explains a bit of the science of running on product gas.

After six years of experimentation Gary Gilmore shares with the world what he has learned about wood gasification. This system is modeled from the 1940′s Swedish gasifiers. He does a great job of explaining the system. Additionally Gary shares some of the various fuels and fuel mixtures that he uses to run his gasifier. Thanks Mr. Gilmore for sharing!

Joshuaburks appears to have built a successful FEMA gasifier. The following video is one in a series of videos where he builds and tests his gasifier. Useful information and inspiration

ideas for wood gas filter

This gentleman seems to be having some success with a simple, inexpensive pvc filter system. He has more current videos, of a much more refined Imbert Downdraft Gasifier on his youtube channel. However, I am posting this video b/c I love the excitement as he discovers how well the filter works. Check out the pure, blue flame Keep up the great work Flash0001USA. I’ll be following your journey.

Lastly, I couldn’t help but think that his filtration system was ultimately a filter and radiator system to not only clean the gas but to cool the gas at the same time. Cheers to you sir!

the 1st FEMA gasifier video I found

While certainly not the first gasifier video that I had found, this was the first one that I had found that referenced the FEMA study/documentation that this site is all about. The final product was a very nice looking unit. Well built and I love the paint color. Kudos!

With my limited knowledge, at this point, the only thing that I would change about this particular unit would be to add a “radiator” to further cool the wood gas. I think this would allow this unit to power higher horsepower engines. I hope that my project turns out half as nice as this one! Props to Jr McLaws. (as it turns out, Jr has been working on his cooling system in later videos…I’m excited to see how it works)
