Hello all!
As you know, gasification and pyrolysis are not un-related, and I recently ran across a "power hacker"'s site for playing around with these marvelous reactions. Via
this Worldchanging post, here's a
link for an experimenter's kit.
From the site overview:
The Gasifier Experimenters Kit (GEK) is a "lego system of gasification". The GEK kit offers beginners through experts an easy way build, customize and compare a wide variety of gasification and pyrolysis reactor types. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a university researcher, the GEK will get you over the starting hurdles of gasification, and on to the more rewarding work of refining specific architectures, as well as inventing new ones.
Enjoy!
