FREEDOM GASIFIER
The Freedom Gasifier is a mobile off-grid synthesis gas (syngas, producer gas, wood gas) production system capable of supporting a variety of gasoline-carbureted (4-stroke) small engines, such as portable power generators, wood splitters, chippers, mills, etc. This ready-to-go gasifier system provides highly efficient performance and true off-grid capability. The Freedom Gasifier uses homemade charcoal (simple to make with a steel burn barrel and small pieces of wood, as shown in this video) as its fuel source, resulting in more efficient syngas production. The use of fuel-grade charcoal also provides a cleaner burning syngas that contains far less tar and other contaminants than raw-wood burning gasifiers, reducing engine wear and requiring less gas filtration.
Features include an onboard hand-crank blower (no electrical power required for startup), water-drip fuel BTU enhancement system, stainless-steel air injection pipe, aluminum exhaust-gas cooling system, quick-connect hoses, 3-stage reusable filter system, air-fuel mixing valve, combustion air filtration, and carburetor adapter, along with built-in safety features.
NOTE: The Freedom Gasifier can NOT be used with dual-fuel and tri-fuel engines/generators, as the carburetors of these multi-fuel engines/generators have restrictions that do not allow enough syngas through the carburetor to properly run the engine.
How It Works: The Freedom Gasifier burns homemade charcoal in a highly controlled environment where the charcoal fire has just enough air to burn a small, but intense fire, without allowing enough air to burn the gasses produced in the system. These gasses are then cooled and filtered, before being delivered to the engine’s carburetor where they are used as a replacement for gasoline. If you have ready access to wood, you can easily make the homemade charcoal to power the Freedom Gasifier fuel production system to start your energy independence.
