Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Cap a 5' length of 8" flange stainless steel pipe at both ends.
Ensure the top cap is removable. -
Step 2: Insert 2 1/4" taps in the side for temperature and pressure gauges
,,, Cap it up. ,, This unit should run at 800–1,000 °C (1,470–1,830 °F) and around 30 atmospheres. ,,,,,,,,,, Constructing a heat shield (bricks, etc) over this will work well. ,, To make catalyst, shut off this valve.
To make fuel, shut off the catalyst maker valve for 4 hours.
To test the relief valve, close all valves... , Start with 8" by 5' Schedule 80 pipe (anything in this part should be made of S80). ,,,,,,, 2 hp should be enough for both. , Steam at 1300-1400 PSI. , A 3/8" venturi expanding to 6" and then capped will expand and cool the gases. ,,, The water is returned through a 500-psi one-way valve to the tank, the gases to a 5 gal. storage tank that's connected to the main reactor burners, and the fuel to a grounded, vented storage tank with a meter and pump. , The pipe from the relief valve goes through a gas regulator with a 4mm nozzle and then straight upward for 6 feet (1.8Â m), and the top 6" is perforated with 1/4" holes. , It should be kept lit while the machine is in operation.
Happy motoring! This thing makes 1 gallon at a time
- it will take 15 minutes for the reaction to complete. -
Step 3: and a 1/2" tap in the bottom.
-
Step 4: Run for 3" and then through a 1/32" restriction (1/2" pipe).
-
Step 5: Make a steam tank from 1' of the 8" pipe that sits directly below the gasifier.
-
Step 6: Include a 45-degree t-section in the line to add first 2 and then 1 liter of water per operation.
-
Step 7: Attach the main line (1/2") to the side of the gasifier near the top
-
Step 8: then goes to for 12" and then down into the ash filtration unit.
-
Step 9: Put a 1/2" in the side for a 450 psi relief valve.
-
Step 10: Make the ash filtration unit out of 1' of the 8" pipe.
-
Step 11: Put the 1/2" inlet pipe down through the 200-mesh screen placed 9" into the filter.
-
Step 12: Fill the top with 1 kg of lime.
-
Step 13: Put a 200-mesh screen in the 1/2" outlet in the top.
-
Step 14: Run a 12" loop of the 1/2" water pipe (Schedule 80) through here too.
-
Step 15: Make everything after this of standard steel - it's much cheaper.
-
Step 16: Run a 1/2" pipe to the 4-way junction.
-
Step 17: Install a valve and a gas regulator (1.9mm venturi expanding to 6" with a 3/4" outlet)on one outlet to reduce the pressure to near normal before going back to the gasifier to heat the reaction from the outside of the unit.
-
Step 18: Build rings of gas nozzles
-
Step 19: one column each on 4 sides of the unit
-
Step 20: with 6 nozzles each.
-
Step 21: Make a heat shield.
-
Step 22: Put a valve on the next pipe that goes to a catalyst maker where the gas flows through a 6" x 24" pipe
-
Step 23: through a screen out to a regulator (the same sort from earlier)
-
Step 24: and is burned on the outside of the unit.
-
Step 25: Place a valve on the pipe going through to the main reactor.
-
Step 26: Build the main reactor.
-
Step 27: Cap it off at both ends.
-
Step 28: Make a ring of 1/2" coolant pipes around the inside surface of this
-
Step 29: plus a 1/2" in top and bottom for the gas and another 1" in the top for catalyst loading.
-
Step 30: Put a screen about 6" from the bottom
-
Step 31: and make it slope downward towards the inlet pipe.The catalyst outlet is at the bottom of the unit through the inlet (t-section with cap).
-
Step 32: Make an outer shell of 10" pipe with enough clearance to put caps on this pipe as well with the main reactor inside.
-
Step 33: Interconnect the coolant pipes in every possible way
-
Step 34: with a main outlet on both top and bottom manifolds.
-
Step 35: Fill the coolant system with distilled water.
-
Step 36: Make a sizable square radiator
-
Step 37: with a steam-powered fan and return pump and a steam relief valve set for 100 atmospheres.
-
Step 38: Load with 6 liters by volume of 100-mesh reduced iron or magnetite (Fe3O4).This unit should run about 350 °C (662 °F) and about 25 atmospheres.
-
Step 39: Begin building the final processing units.
-
Step 40: Ensure that the gas/water mixture drops to room temp by running some of the coolant line through the regulator in the last step.
-
Step 41: Run 3/4" to the filtering chamber.
-
Step 42: Build the filtering chamber
-
Step 43: which is a section of 6" pipe sideways with a 1.8 angstrom membrane to filter out water (out the bottom)and a 4.3 angstrom membrane to filter light gases out the top pipe.
-
Step 44: Build the relief system.
-
Step 45: Run a small pilot light (1/8") from the main gas storage.
