Building a wood gasifier for a truck and generator has gained interest following a popular TV episode showcasing its use. The discussion highlights the importance of researching existing resources, including numerous articles and forums dedicated to the topic. A recommended technical reference is the book "Biomass Gasification and Pyrolysis: Practical Design and Theory" by Basu for in-depth understanding. Participants emphasize the need for practical designs and safety considerations in the construction process. This method of gasification is seen as a viable option for those interested in sustainable energy solutions.

hey guys, I came to your great forum because of a tv episode on nat geo the other night. Evo posted a thread that is creating a lot of waves in the prepping community

I'm sure you've already Googled "wood gasifier" and seen the large number of webpages and articles on it from a hobby or survivalist or back-to-nature perspective. If you want a more technical source of information you might check out the text Biomass Gasification and Pyrolysis: Practical Design and Theory by Basu.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
