GAS-L: Model gasifier.

["Graeme Williams" <graeme@powerlink.co.nz>]

Dear Ken and Gasification Colleagues

The outer diameter isn't so important within reason, but you must maintain
the critical dimensions between the air nozzles, nozzle to throat tube, and
grate height.  These are all the measurements in red ink on the original
drawing.

SAFETY:  Old propane cylinders often have wax residue deposits and you will
kill yourself if you don't take every precaution to open them.  Don't use
oxy-acetylene cutters, and fill them with water before you attempt any form
of chopping, hacking or sawing!

Before you go too far with the actual manufacture, you might like to tell me
how you plan to use the gasifier, and I can offer a few pointers.

The drawings for the above mentioned gasifier can be found on the Fluidyne
Archive site www.fluidynenz.250x.com      Remember this isnt a model
gasifier.

Regards

Doug Williams
Fluidyne Gasification.
