Woodgas Demonstration Project

Presented at ToorCamp 2018, June 22, 2018, 10 a.m. (120 minutes)

Did you know you can run a gasoline generator off of wood? Come see this simple design and watch it in operation.

In ToorCamp 2016 we built a simple woodgas generator out of two garbage cans and successfully ran a 1500watt gas generator off of it. This year we're going to continue to tinker with it and see if we can do stuff like burn uncut 2x4's as fuel. This will be setup on the volleyball court and demonstrations will happen in the mornings.

    Franklin Hu is a mild mannered software engineer by day, but a mad scientist, karaoke singing house flipper by night. Franklin Hu works at a full time software engineering job but has many, many diverse hobbies. These hobbies include theoretical physics which explain gravity, magnetism and charge. He also plays the violin like Lindsey Sterling and sings competitive karaoke - reaching the finals in the Evergreen State Fair Superstar Karaoke contest. When he isn't doing either of those things, he can be found swinging a hammer and turning trash into cash by rehabbing houses. Check out the website franklinhu.com or You Tube channel to learn more.
