Actually -- I have four complete units in stock and do plan to put them in
operation.

Here is an interesting reference in regards to the exact same engine I will
be coupling them to.

http://www.fao.org/docrep/T4470E/t4470e0i.htm#study on performance of
biomass gasifier engine systems and their environmental

The 25 cm diameter gasifier developed by the University of California at
Davis was matched with a Chinese S-195 diesel engine to characterize the
performance of Gasifier-Engine System. An average gas flow of 18.44 Nm³/h,
cold gas efficiency of 52.4 % of the gasifier and output of 5.59 kW which
was 63.37 % of that rated diesel power, brake thermal efficiency of 0.306
of the dual fueled engine were obtained at a rated engine speed. A 60 hour
continuous test of this system for pumping water was conducted with
satisfactory results. However, the environmental impact of the system
should be studied.
