[Gasification] OT - Six Stroke Engine

[Ken Boak]

Doug & list,

What are your thoughts about the optimum rpm range for an engine burning 
producer gas?

Is it a case of matching the piston speed to the flame speed?

Would 300rpm to 600rpm  be better for extracting more expansive power from 
the producer gas, than a higher speed engine say running at 1500rpm.

Are you suggesting that in a high speed engine, the producer gas charge is 
still  burning at the time the exhaust valve opens.

Any clarification appreciated.



regards,


Ken
