Talk:Wood gas

message: Alternativelly wood gas can be used to directly heat an external combustion engine such as an Stirling engine; one advantage would be to avoid the cleaning of the generated gas, hence, cooling down process and combust the gas avoiding any drop outs such as tar or water. Alltogether it would be one way to take advantage of the total biomass of forests and not leave 50% or more of the biomass unused or as waste.

message: I believe that Producer Gas should get a mention in Manufactured Gas Plant and the redirect for Producer Gas go there instead of wood gas.
Producer gas is the production of mostly hydrogen gas through the heating of charcoal and the addition of steam.
Wood gas is destructive distillation and contains mostly carbon monoxide along with (to a lesser degree) hydrogen and many hydro-carbons to a lesser degree. Jm butler 17:17, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change redirect for Producer Gas? 

message: This page should include a link to "Charcoal" and to "Pyrolysis".  The pyrolysis of wood produces a solid; the charcoal, and also gasses; the "wood gasses". These are all related concepts.  I haven't figured out how to add links or I would do it myself.

message: The "Usage" paragraph states that "The gasification stage converts about 75% of fuel energy content into a combustible gas that can be used as fuel for internal combustion engine."  However, the heating value (LHV) is later given as about 5 MJ/kg while the heating value of wood is given as 15 MJ/kg.  If the 75% conversion ratio were to be correct, the LHV of wood gas would be around 10, not 5.  Can someone check all these numbers specifically the 75% which looks high to me?  Thanks!

thread_title:  Heating value? 

message: Like it or not, a wood gassifier was used on the tv series “The Colony.” The page should include an section on popular culture with specific reference to this event. (I don’t want to go so far as to say “current examples” considering all the surrounding factors, but should be mentioned.)174.25.121.131 (talk) 01:16, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I did not notice any mention about pressurized storage of wood gas. Is it too trivial? Has it been ever used for wood gas? Is it actually the same thing as storage of coal gas? —Nikolas Ojala (talk) 09:08, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

message: I tried to add a link to one of the books that was cited in this article (www.ekomobiili.fi/Tekstit/available%20drawings.htm), but this link is on Wikipedia's spam blacklist. Is this book available online from another (non-blacklisted) source? Jarble (talk) 02:23, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: I think you are a kind and special spirit very near me, I welcome you to state honestly how close your understanding is. First please note there are vehicles running on this. I apologise if there is a wording that is less misleading please do express. It is the *from underground* bit that matters. The fact it only releases carbon from the air that it took in growing that you have explained. This makes it "carbon nutral"Wikipedia:Typo Team to most effects, because burning the oil that is already underground releases the trapped carbon. Which is mad bad init fam. 81.129.99.229 (talk) 00:42, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
