We’re running two 10 hour endurance tests on the GEK 10kw Power Pallet for the workshop weekend, this Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6. One of the locals has set up a webcam on the proceedings so you can watch the process online.
See here for the show: http://www.gekgasifier.com/web-cam/
The Power Pallet is running with full automation of fuel feed, woodgas/air mixture and grate shaking. All temp, pressure, and flow rate particulars are being datalogged for presentation after the run, as are the specifics of fuel in to electricity out.
The fuel is regular wood chips. No exotically produced chunks. We’re running a variety of loads usually in the 3kw-6kw range.
We started the rig at about 1pm pacific time and we’ll shut down tonight sometime around 11pm. Then we’ll do the same thing tomorrow.
We’ll be posting more info here in the forum over the weekend, so check back to see how things are going.
