students and engineers love him, neighbours hate him, haha

If your lid keeps popping off, you've got too much pressure in the line, likely due to having your line submerged too deep. Instead of drilling a bunch of holes in the lid and losing half the gas, i'd suggest buying some five or ten pound iron weights, the sort meant to be used on a bench press bar. They're small enough to stack on top of eachother without getting in the way, and there's a convenient hole right in the middle which would allow your copper tube through. Five or so of those and you likely won't have issues with popping your lid anymore. Also, try replacing your first flashback arrestor's water with vegetable oil, it'll likely catch more of the particulates as the bubbles rise through it. To filter the gas even more using the oil, pinch the end of the line to create a nozzle and decrease the size of the bubbles. The increased surface area will give more particles a chance to fall into the oil. Also, for your second filter/arrestor, i'd try using water with ice in it. The garbage you're burning likely has a lot of water vapor in it, but the gas will have cooled a lot as it passes through the tube and the oil, so if you pass it through icy cold water after that, some of that water vapor may condense out and not make it to the engine. If you'd like to cool the gas even more, try running a coil of the tube through a two-liter bottle full of water before it reaches the oil. Just cut the top off and seal the bottom hole with epoxy. Just a note, the oil being used as an arrestor/filter will probably eventually turn into a sludge that can also be burned to cook more trash. I'd love to see this small setup running more efficiently, and i think if you take a look at a channel called "oil burner" you'll find a number of methods of using the waste oil (and that blower) to cook more gas. In the future i wouldn't bother using a blower on an open fire like that, as you're better off just punching holes in the bottom of the outer can to allow natural airflow through. Your fuel will burn cooler and last longer, and it won't be so rough on your setup, which i saw glowing red there. And judging by the sound of that engine, i think it can produce more power than that, especially if it has more gas to work with. Try adding a gearbox to get more speed out of the rig.

Proof of concept for the delorean time machine Mr. Fusion..

Well done. Everytime I see your dog she/he reminds me of my old dog. Way more then any other German Shepherd I've seen. Thanks

Yeah, you need a big flywheel on the motor and a much much bigger capacitor on the load to further stabilize the system.

0:15 the dog is so cute!

I like the type of editing you are using :) Like the cardboards or aluminum when you are cutting them :)

4:02 When they ask "do you get our coupons in the mail?"

Far from elegant. Just a dumpster fire. Love it! Very good way to learn about gassifiers.

Make it run on a Food Scrap Methane Generator

All your generator vids are amazing keep the great work up!

Wow great editing and great gasifier. Back in the day they used to power cars with a bigger version of this. Good job man!

"MARTY, we don't need plutonium !!!!"

Best wood gas video series I've seen

Dude, this channel is cool as fuck

I made it with my friends for my master degree memoir with some change in it but it worked perfectly " Waste Exploitation for energy production" the title of my memoir thank you for the inspiration. peace&love from Algeria.

I find the whole video comical, if it's not one thing breaks / not working it's another but he perceivers and succeeds in the end :)

Wood gas was big in the great depression. Still it's impressive to see it still works lol

One of the best Alternatives videos I've seen.... Ive been studying alternatives for 30 years. superb video to teach others with. When the civilization crashes.... give it 4 years max... this is going to be a very useful piece of information. thank you!

I've learned so much cool stuff from RU-vid that I'm pretty sure that I could survive an apocalypse lol

DUDE! I love this series of videos! Keep doing it and improving! This project have a LOT of potencial!

Very impressive, a perfect energy source for doomsday survival.

Should have had the airpump powered by the generator directly to act kinda like a turbo

Keep hustling, big things incoming! 🚀

Hello @experimental fun. That is a great experimental set up. From that one we can see in small scale most of the equipments that there will be a real power plant . Congrats for your job. If it js possible please share the specification sheet for that IC engine. Thanks in advance

Could call it the noisiest smelliest hand torch in the world.I loved it.keep it up man keep them coming

If it was the end of the world you would saved me by writing the instructions on the unit

Man, all your vids are epic to watch :) i like youre stuff continue like that !

Builds machine that runs on burning garbage, but builds the set and base of the project out of wood.

Awesome project. Try to utilize the waste heat to drive a steam or stirling engine, etc. You could probably double your efficiency.

That's a pretty trashy generator

Sweet so home version of a coal gasification plant, might try!

Fun editing!

This is back to the future. Charge the batteries on your Tesla and off you go. Nice work.

cool its like Mr.Fusion from back to the future

I really like the cutting cardboard effect!

damn i remember when i was little my dad used the same system for a car. I remember him taking me on a drive with it.

this is a good way to show people how to do things they will need to in a SHTF ,gun powder and lead melting making bullet's primers cross bows knifes and so on I like your channel keep up the good work .

..... you could use a thermal generator while doing that and collect the fumes off the whole thing

I like your filming style! You're also quite funny.

I love the smell of burning plastic in the morning. I also love the fact that our earth is in fire cause of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

i can belived its hasbeen 4 years, iam watching this when fresh uploaded

I want more of these videos!

Just came across your videos about a week ago. Hope you're doing all right and would love to see more videos in the future.

É o delorean do de volta para o futuro, muito bom...

For a air filter you could cut the bottom off two 2 liter pop bottles and put a few coffee filters on with elastic bands and then press one over the other and tap them together. And then connect hoses acording. Large surface area for handling lots of smoke. Awesome videos btw you should try differnt types of garbage like plastic.

Couldnt you use larger diameter copper tube and larger mason jars for more efficiency?

x) love your editing ;-) cool stuff - awesome channel

make something based on ecology next time ? add electrolysis to the mix ?

Y are number 1 y make me smile a lot thank y so much

5:13 pum ...pum...pumm kkkkk😅

This is the most useful thing in entire world

Now can you make a video *How To Restore The Ozone Layer Using Trash*

man this guy can legit survive the whole zombie apocalypse with these creativity and skills

Now make it run on used diapers haha😂😅🤣

This guy really knows how to make a fire

That is that little engine that makes energy? Where can I buy one?

Works better than all you made after all of your videos about this.

Question again me I am still to worried to run my engine on propane with the oil setup you have whats the lomgest you have runned it

Brilliant!!!!

the connection of engine and motor is unbalanced by the one ring screw you are using, add more of them IN a balanced position. or connect it by ducktape in case it will work :D it will put less work to the engine

That's awesome! Great job. I didn't realize you could gasify trash.

Next up: How to Run a Generator on Poop!

You need to do these with a Briggs and Stratton 5hp brick-top engine there 4 stroke and have a threaded intake so u can screw in a 3/4 adapter to the copper tube that's how mine is set up works great runs on anything.

Who else is watching knowing they won’t do this 😂

Very inspirational especially watching all the different types of fuel being used, something I really would like to see that ive never seen anyone use before is dried grass or weeds being used like this and also with a smokeless burner heating it, imagine how much dry grass there is out there next to the road its a waste

*Runs on T-Series content*

Ajaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas ajaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas ajaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!!!!! La MAYOR LOCURA DE RU-vid!!! Gastastes más energia de la que generastes!! Y tanta gente mirando tu vídeo....gasto mucho más!!!! Muy buen Tutorial!!! big crazy inventor!!

Am i understanding it correctly? The engine is running from fumes? Not gasoline?

Buddy of mine,made one of these on a trailer with a generator for emergency use if electrical power goes out. Considering he is out in the boonies it happens from time to time. Works great, he says trick is cooling the wood gas before it get to generator

sir I want to create the energy generation model . please give me the equipment list

Dude your funny! Awesome video thanks!

5:17 I REFUSE TO STAY SHUT!

Generator on trash?! Great recycling idea

Inefficient but awesome!

You edited the video really good with the cut on the Coca-Cola trash

Way too convoluted. Burn the trash to run a steam engine. Much more efficient by many factors.

Simply brilliant! Thank you sir! Cheers!

Was later killed for the making of the video

I just started watching your channel and I must say>> super cool bro! A++++ I love your dog to! He makes the video's so awsome! If you could some nice metal music or banjo would be awsome! Keep up the great work fellow RU-vidr!

You waste more electricity then generate electric because of the blower

Finally some one who doesn't do the free energy crap lol your for realz.

Make one rund by my ex wifes

nice to see a Scientific chemistry and identity hand made

Man that was not eco friendly🤔😖

Ah, excellent my good man.

Funny thing is the dirty water he is making in the filters can be used as fuel when it builds up enough and more water has been boiled away. You can definitely improve this with a proper rocket stove build, a gasification container that seals and so on but for throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks this is amazing!

So *easy* and *practical* anyone could buy those *non-expensive* items from their *local Walmart*

Experimental Fun, maybe you should tag this. I see alot of people asking what you can put in there. Anything that doesn't melt, Plastic bottles, Plastic dvd's. Etc. You cannot put in there. But anything that burns away, (Turns to ash) can be put in there. Paper, paper cups, wood, (I know i said burns away, but don't put wax in there. ;)

Lovely air support :)

Please make more of this stuff! And i subscribet!

For some reason this experiment reminded me of the scene in back to the future 3 when the locomotive's boiler exploded haha. You could try homemade Presto log in the next experiment.

It's good to put a dryer filter after the second bottle to dry the gas. Please consider some zeolit stones filter

your creations are awesome

The person behind this must have chosen science for his options in school!

we need more!!! Diesel Experiment please

Very cool i saw this thing about an ecological thing that turns food scraps into gas to be burned on a stove you should try making a biogas generator without using fire!

While you have a long way to go, it is a good, solid start.

Use the furnace to make steam. Use the steam to turn a turbine. Use the turning turbine to generate electricity.
