In this video I build a wood gas storage device that cleans and pressurizes the gas all in one! Thanks to my sponsor Squarespace you can make a great website easily! Check them out at: squarespace.com/nighthawk
In case you missed it, here's my last video where I built the gassifier used in this video to make my gas: youtu.be/HQIW4dVVokE
The wikipedia page on gas holders has some great visualizations and images of commercial gasometers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder
Thanks to all my Patrons for helping me make these videos! A special thanks to my top Patrons: Syniurge, Matthew Leitzke, TheBackyardScientist, Enzo Breda Lee, John Johnson, & Thibaud Peverelli! patreon.com/NightHawkProjects
So what is wood gas good for? A lot of you have asked that question. The main point of wood gas is to turn a renewable fuel like wood/plant matter into a form that is compatible to be burned by modern technology like cars, generators, stoves, etc.. Wood gas is a fuel that can be made by anyone with simple equipment, and can run a gasoline engine with only minor modifications. The process I use in this video to make it produces a very clean result, but is not the most efficient way to make large quantities of gas for immediate burning. I'll be demonstrating other methods of wood gas production in future videos.
Thanks for watching!
