They were made in Czechoslovakia during the war.

This is just an ordinary Imbert gasifier, with the condenser/gas coolers
mounted on the gasifier. I doubt if any wood gasifiers using this basic
principle of gas making could make as with 32% H2, even with oven dried
wood.

The collection of photos is really a view into a past that has to be created
all over again, but it will first require an absolute disaster, before many
will get their backs into real working order (:-)

You might find this rare Military gasifier taken in Denmark interesting,
just to show the power of a wood block.

To my knowledge, there are no construction plans available for the Imbert
system, but the basic information with a lot of dimensions can be found in
the FAO book
