In this video, I show off the really ugly water drip system I have added to my charcoal gasifier. The purpose of a water drip is to increase the energy density of the gas. Basically, as the water (H20) hits the hot nozzle of the gasifier, it is immediately converted to steam. That steam is sucked in through the hot charcoal in the gasifier and the hot carbon grabs oxygen atoms from the water molecules. The result is an increase in energy density of the gas as the remaining hydrogen atoms and increased carbon monoxide get pulled up and out of the gasifier. Next, I will add a cooler system that will help to increase the density of gas even more.
