Woodgas Generators (gasifier)

Post by REME-Lad »

Hi folks, just joined today,

My name is Graham I'm 64 and I'm based in Coventry close to the airport,
I'm ex reme and into diesel engines and fixing things. I have no workshop at present but am looking to rent a small unit or local garage to
start making rocket stoves, Benghazi burners for water heating and cooking and woodgas gasifiers, That's free gas to run a petrol/diesel engine genset unit.
I would be very interested in linking up with local team/group for advise on starting to become a prepper and active group member.
I have a Volvo diesel estate and flat trailer and am a great forager of useful things but am most keen to start using my old army skills again.

It sound like you could turn your skills highly productivley as a Prepper, given your knowledge of engineering. There are many helpful tips on how to start prepping, but untimately it comes down to what kind of event you are considering prepping for; as this will determine how, what, where you prep. From this position you will be able to move forward and gather ideas.

Hi Graham, Welcome to the forum. I love gasifiers please share some pics when you get up and running. I've had my workshop 3 years now and still not built a gasifier (yet)

Hi Gang, Many thanks for the warm welcome,

on the subject of Gasifiers they come in all sizes and capabilities, My thoughts would be for a mobile unit (bolted in the back of a Landy) and a static for a small generator and also for cooking (super hot Stove).
I am next to the Coventry Airport and a great pub called the Oak at Baginton, Seems that getting access to a workshop facility is not that far away.

Will keep you all informed of progress.

Regards Graham
