Missouri wood gasifier
Technical Report

OSTI ID:7048862
The design and construction of a wood gasifier (supported by the state of Missouri) is described in detail. The objective of the project was to make use of the extensive sawdust and wood shavings available which are equivalent (in energy) to over a million barrels of oil annually. The cost to construct the gasifier is estimated at about $2000 for materials and about 200 hours of labor. The details of the down draft gasifier used to convert sawdust to low Btu gas are given as well as instructions for operation. Extensive drawings of the component parts are included. When used in an automobile, three hazards are of greatest importance: (1) fire; (2) traffic; and (3) toxic hazards. These are discussed. English translations are provided from the Swedish book, Gen Gas the Swedish Experiment, 1939-1945, dealing with the theory and design of a gasifier as well as safety factors. An appendix is included. (MJJ)
