[Gasification] [Stoves] gasifier engine required

[Tom Miles]

Jeff, Adolf,

This discussion should move to the gasification list instead of the stoves
list.

A lot of gasification research and development has been done on rice husks.
See current activities at:

Engine performance studies for rice husk were conducted at University of
California Davis in the 1980s.

Dear Adolf and All,


I've invested a lot of my time looking for and making a good gasifier fuel.
To 
my surprise I found nature beat me to the finish line.

The fuel is rice husks and one is best to use them as is!

Unfortunately, for me, there is no supply of rice husk in my area so the 
search continues.

I think that rice husks make a clean gas.

You can view my gasifier at the below link:

Lacking time and rice husks,

Jeff
