Talk:Wood gas generator

message: The Mother Earth News magazine had several articles in the 1970's on experimental vehicles they converted with onboard wood gas generators.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 09:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The lead current reads A wood gas generator often known as a gasifier, is a wood-fueled gasification reactor mounted on an internal combustion engine, to provide a wood gas, a form of syngas.. As such it implies that 'all' wood gas generators are mounted on internal combustion engines and that any device that creates wood gas that is not attached to an internal combustion engine is not a wood gas generator. Is that accurate? Surely any device of this sort that creates wood gas is a wood gas generaotr regardless of where it is mounted? PeterEastern (talk) 08:07, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In my understanding, a wood gas generator is a special type of gasifier, mounted on an internal combustion engine on a car. I would not call other gasifiers "wood gas generators". The Güssing plang for example is a gasifier, not a wood gas generator in my understanding. Claus Hindsgaul (talk) 10:37, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reworked the lead and done a general cleanup job across the article. I hope I haven't changed the meaning of lost anything important and that people feel it is clearer now. I have made the history section into something a bit shorted and more structured and have moved details relevant to creating a unit now to a new 'design' section.

message: I just undid an edit claiming that the Keith gasifier is not a new design (implying that it has no encyclopedic value), instead claiming that it is simply a stratified downdraft gasifier design. This is a false accusation and unfounded. Further discussion may proceed in this section. KY Metro (talk) 02:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Ok, so this is a really lengthy article but nowhere to be found is some chemistry or physics.
* How is the general idea of turning wood into gas?
* At what temperature does it happen?
* Which pressure is required?
* Which gas is the result?
