I hope you all like this video! Sorry for the delay since my last one, it feels like keeping my truck running has been a full time job this past month. Lots to do, so little time. I have one more video in editing about wood gassification and then a few more on other subjects coming up shortly after. In the coming months I'd really like to get an engine running on woodgas, and I think I've come up with a method to get the job done that's a lot easier than what has already been done by others. Thanks for watching!

Bio Fuel Storage: Building A Gasometer

In this video I build a wood gas storage device that cleans and pressurizes the gas all in one! Thanks to my sponsor Squarespace you can make a great website easily! Check them out at: https://www.squarespace.com/nighthawk In case you missed it, here's my last video where I built the gassifier used in this video to make my gas: https://youtu.be/HQIW4dVVokE The wikipedia page on gas holders has some great visualizations and images of commercial gasometers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder Thanks to all my Patrons for helping me make these videos! A special thanks to my top Patrons: Syniurge, Matthew Leitzke, TheBackyardScientist, Enzo Breda Lee, John Johnson, & Thibaud Peverelli! https://www.patreon.com/NightHawkProjects So what is wood gas good for? A lot of you have asked that question. The main point of wood gas is to turn a renewable fuel like wood/plant matter into a form that is compatible to be burned by modern technology like cars, generators, stoves, etc.. Wood gas is a fuel that can be made by anyone with simple equipment, and can run a gasoline engine with only minor modifications. The process I use in this video to make it produces a very clean result, but is not the most efficient way to make large quantities of gas for immediate burning. I'll be demonstrating other methods of wood gas production in future videos. Thanks for watching!

Nice one! I realy liked it. I posted the idea for an gasometer under the last vid on youtube. But i had the idea to route the inlet pipe through the bottom. I thougth it had a benefit for some reason :-) Now i thougth about it and it doesnt make sense at all :-) The back pressure is the same no matter how its going in :-) but i would guss, that a more h/r ration of 1 would be better in terms of minimal pressure. Because thats closer to a sphere and that has minimal surface to volume ratio. And the pressure should only depend on the surface area. Anyway. Great vid! Thanks

Routing through the bottom would be good so that the tubing doesn't have to be flexible and move with the top. If you didn't make it go all the way to the top of the chamber though you would have to fight against water pressure back filling the tube which my current gassifer couldn't deal with.
