[Gasification] 5KW Ngen Gasifier Genset

[Tom Miles]

Tom,

With your relation to Ngen the gasification gene pool seems to be pretty
small. 

I remember the Rally. I think I have a newspaper article about Don
Chittick's gasifier. 

Don and Fred Bierele worked for years to promote the gasifier which has had
various names starting with Pyrenco. In recent years it was Grand Teton. I
don't the current name. I understand that IP now belongs to a Midwest
investor. There is a variation of the unit operating in a
semi-commercial/R&D mode in Washington. It no longer sports the universal
catalyst that it started with. Since the beginning it has mostly gasified
dense or densified fuels.

Dear Jeff and All:

I have just ordered the Mother Earth plans.

*We* took part in a coast to coast alternate energy rally about 1981 
(bicentenial of Battle of Yorktown, so I re-enacted the battle while our 
team drove my Mazda GLD pure methanol car).  There were three memorable 
gasifiers in that race:

The Mother Earth News Gasifier
The Ben Russell Gasifier (shown in our book, Producer Gas)
The Chittick Gasifier (used to cook hot dogs for the particpants every 
night)

I believe all three gasifiers made it coast to coast, and our methanol 
car sure did.  I hope Tom Miles can give us a repris on the Chittick 
Gasifier. 

In retrospect I wish I had been on the rally rather than winning the 
Battle of Yorktown (again). 

There are some advantages to being older (but not old)...

Your older Gasifist
