[Stoves] 2 KW Woodgas generator with turbine

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Steve

If it is burning the gas inside the gasifier, it must be getting air
from somewhere.  Blown in?

Given the flame coming out of the turbocharger, I was wondering if the
flames are initiated inside the pipe leading to the turbo.

It appears he intends to generate electricity, however it is a good
looking stove!

Regards
Crispin
