A schematic showing the wood gasifier built by Dick Strawbridge and Jem Stansfield for the show "Planet Mechanics".
Parts:
- A: wood
- B: fire
- C: air inlet (air going to 4 nozzles)
- D: reduction zone; contains charcoal; smoke goes trough the accumated charcoal and reacts with it. H20 and CO2 becomes H2 and CO
- D1: top grating (movable)
- D2: lower grating (not movable)
- D3: handle: used to stirr up the wood to provide evenly high temperature over top grating
- E: smoke
- F: single-cyclone seperator (coarse filter)
- G: partially filtered smoke
- H: radiator (reduces heat of gas and hence condenses the gas, making it more flammable/potent)
- I: cooled, partially filtered smoke
- J: fine filter (consisting of clay balls untop of a grating)
- K: wood gas (= fully filtered, cooled smoke)
- L: air/gas mixer (replaces IC engine carburator)
- L1: air inlet valve (operated via handle mounted to gear stick)
- L2: choke valve
