GAS-L: small-scale gasification , rankine combo

[jerry dycus <jerry5335@yahoo.com>]

      Hi All,
         I agree that small gasifiers should be here.
There is a good sized for gasifiers for a 1.5 to 10hp
motors for making electricity while heating the
building making it almost 100% eff with the electric
savings paying for the engine, gen and fuel.
      Most needed is a unit that can be started then
left to burn for 12hrs. Is there a simpler way than
using pellets and a feed auger?
        A 2 or 3hp (Motor) unit would be a real money
saver for those north of Fla. Too bad I live in
central Fla.
        Along with the gasifier, a small rankine
engine of the same size to get the most from producer
gas.
        Does anyone know about using ethanol as a
working fluid compared to water or propane/butane in
eff?
     I've heard it's good but couldn't find any info
on it. 
       In the last 3 months I've learned a lot about
rankine engine and want to build 20kw unit and
shooting for 40% eff with insulation and heat recovery
preheating the working fluid and combustion air into
the insulated gasifier .
               Thanks,
                  jerry dycus
