Alternate Fuel for Diesel and Gasoline Engines - 100% off the Bowser

Thanks Mr Goose,

I was not aware of that, this is early days for me with these concepts and as usual I work at full speed, then address problems as they arise.

Plastics corroding the stainless is bad news. Maybe it can be solved with an alloy of some sort that will not corrode?

How about a ceramic reactor ? that should handle the heat no problem and not corrode...

You REALLY are getting ahead of yourself.  Your chemistry is obviously not up to scratch.  Many plastics are synthesized from a nasty chemical cocktail.  Its all about what happens inside the reactor (CATALYTIC conversion).

The appropriate heavy oil based plastics (rich in carbon compounds) will mix with the H20 and crack into syngas, with the solids settling to the base.  With some nasty plastics you have chlorides and acidic components that would eat anything.  It's not so much whether you chose a vessel that will survive it....but what about your engine/turbine and all the components (pipes) channeling the gas???

On top of that, the gas will be toxic and may not even burn.

Slow down...research some more.  Gasifier yes....but what is your fuel.

Good points Mr Goose. Chemistry never was my strong point. I will think about that some more thanks for pointing it out.

On another note I have put up a section view of the Kelly Kettle, this is what I have to work with. I have some pipe and can thread it to custom length and I think I have enough fittings in the garage to make some pipework.

So, any ideas how I could easily convert it to a Gasifier ?

Sure...and after that you want me to weld one up and send it over to ya?? 

Cmon man...Im already spending far too much time here.  Did you watch the youtube video where the guy makes the big tar free gasifier?  Its all in pictures step by step.  You would just shrink it down in size for the kelly kettle.

Dont use aluminium for the vessel though....that looks like ally to me.

Loads of Gasifier info on the web.  Read Read Read.

No thanks Mr Goose, I am perfectly capable of building it myself, even without a full workshop. I will just improvise.

Yes I watched the video and have my own ideas on how I will do it, I just wanted to know what you thought. It also helps other people who might want to try a Kelly Kettle conversion themselves.

I of course will not use aluminium, I will use Stainless Steel, the picture is just of an aluminium version. I did say the SS versions of the Kelly Kettle are available in two sizes and linked to the manufacturer's page. Read Read Read

P.S. here is a stainless picture to keep you happy
