Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Cap a 5' length of 8" flange stainless steel pipe at both ends.

    Ensure the top cap is removable.
  2. Step 2: Insert 2 1/4" taps in the side for temperature and pressure gauges

    ,,, Cap it up. ,, This unit should run at 800–1,000 °C (1,470–1,830 °F) and around 30 atmospheres. ,,,,,,,,,, Constructing a heat shield (bricks, etc) over this will work well. ,, To make catalyst, shut off this valve.

    To make fuel, shut off the catalyst maker valve for 4 hours.

    To test the relief valve, close all valves... , Start with 8" by 5' Schedule 80 pipe (anything in this part should be made of S80). ,,,,,,, 2 hp should be enough for both. , Steam at 1300-1400 PSI. , A 3/8" venturi expanding to 6" and then capped will expand and cool the gases. ,,, The water is returned through a 500-psi one-way valve to the tank, the gases to a 5 gal. storage tank that's connected to the main reactor burners, and the fuel to a grounded, vented storage tank with a meter and pump. , The pipe from the relief valve goes through a gas regulator with a 4mm nozzle and then straight upward for 6 feet (1.8 m), and the top 6" is perforated with 1/4" holes. , It should be kept lit while the machine is in operation.

    Happy motoring! This thing makes 1 gallon at a time
    - it will take 15 minutes for the reaction to complete.
  3. Step 3: and a 1/2" tap in the bottom.

  4. Step 4: Run for 3" and then through a 1/32" restriction (1/2" pipe).

  5. Step 5: Make a steam tank from 1' of the 8" pipe that sits directly below the gasifier.

  6. Step 6: Include a 45-degree t-section in the line to add first 2 and then 1 liter of water per operation.

  7. Step 7: Attach the main line (1/2") to the side of the gasifier near the top

  8. Step 8: then goes to for 12" and then down into the ash filtration unit.

  9. Step 9: Put a 1/2" in the side for a 450 psi relief valve.

  10. Step 10: Make the ash filtration unit out of 1' of the 8" pipe.

  11. Step 11: Put the 1/2" inlet pipe down through the 200-mesh screen placed 9" into the filter.

  12. Step 12: Fill the top with 1 kg of lime.

  13. Step 13: Put a 200-mesh screen in the 1/2" outlet in the top.

  14. Step 14: Run a 12" loop of the 1/2" water pipe (Schedule 80) through here too.

  15. Step 15: Make everything after this of standard steel - it's much cheaper.

  16. Step 16: Run a 1/2" pipe to the 4-way junction.

  17. Step 17: Install a valve and a gas regulator (1.9mm venturi expanding to 6" with a 3/4" outlet)on one outlet to reduce the pressure to near normal before going back to the gasifier to heat the reaction from the outside of the unit.

  18. Step 18: Build rings of gas nozzles

  19. Step 19: one column each on 4 sides of the unit

  20. Step 20: with 6 nozzles each.

  21. Step 21: Make a heat shield.

  22. Step 22: Put a valve on the next pipe that goes to a catalyst maker where the gas flows through a 6" x 24" pipe

  23. Step 23: through a screen out to a regulator (the same sort from earlier)

  24. Step 24: and is burned on the outside of the unit.

  25. Step 25: Place a valve on the pipe going through to the main reactor.

  26. Step 26: Build the main reactor.

  27. Step 27: Cap it off at both ends.

  28. Step 28: Make a ring of 1/2" coolant pipes around the inside surface of this

  29. Step 29: plus a 1/2" in top and bottom for the gas and another 1" in the top for catalyst loading.

  30. Step 30: Put a screen about 6" from the bottom

  31. Step 31: and make it slope downward towards the inlet pipe.The catalyst outlet is at the bottom of the unit through the inlet (t-section with cap).

  32. Step 32: Make an outer shell of 10" pipe with enough clearance to put caps on this pipe as well with the main reactor inside.

  33. Step 33: Interconnect the coolant pipes in every possible way

  34. Step 34: with a main outlet on both top and bottom manifolds.

  35. Step 35: Fill the coolant system with distilled water.

  36. Step 36: Make a sizable square radiator

  37. Step 37: with a steam-powered fan and return pump and a steam relief valve set for 100 atmospheres.

  38. Step 38: Load with 6 liters by volume of 100-mesh reduced iron or magnetite (Fe3O4).This unit should run about 350 °C (662 °F) and about 25 atmospheres.

  39. Step 39: Begin building the final processing units.

  40. Step 40: Ensure that the gas/water mixture drops to room temp by running some of the coolant line through the regulator in the last step.

  41. Step 41: Run 3/4" to the filtering chamber.

  42. Step 42: Build the filtering chamber

  43. Step 43: which is a section of 6" pipe sideways with a 1.8 angstrom membrane to filter out water (out the bottom)and a 4.3 angstrom membrane to filter light gases out the top pipe.

  44. Step 44: Build the relief system.

  45. Step 45: Run a small pilot light (1/8") from the main gas storage.
