How to generate power by burning wood?

[toucantoto]

Hello and happy new year to everyone,

I have a lot of wood where I am, but no electricity.
I would like to be able to build a system that would allow me to train alternators, or asynchronous generators to have current 220?


Thank you

Hi :

SOLO Stirling 161 e tinkering with a fireplace to heat.

ou

Sun Stirling Machine HolzPellet

Both being more prototypes than versions sold on a large scale.

Provide a shredder for automatic feeding.

You can do heat + electricity cogeneration

The sun machine works with pellets which is not shredded wood and even less raw wood which you have in a remote corner according to your message.
So there's a rustic stirling machine or a gas generator like in 40

Hello,

That's why I said to have a shredder, preferably fine, to adapt to the small particle size of the pellet.

The gasifier does not produce mechanical work, but only a combustible gas ... Efficiency not very good in addition.

Which can be - with difficulty - burned in an internal combustion engine.

The gasifier is a bit of a hassle.

I've been studying the cogeneration market for a long time and to my knowledge, only these 2 are technically a bit successful (SOLO and Sun Machine). It is a completely abandoned sector, there is no major commercial offer in this area for individuals.

Otherwise, you have the steam engine solution: simple and robust. But you have to find one and retype it.

Thank you for your quick responses, I will study all of this.

Yes, it's not easy, otherwise, we wouldn't discuss it, we would ...

The gasifier allowed a lot of people to move during the long fuel shortages (WWII).
There are still some diehards who continue to use this mode of propulsion. (I sometimes see a couple go by jeep with gas and a trailer loaded with wood ...)

So, yes, diesel, it works, it is binding for a car, much less for a fixed installation at home.

The typical assembly includes a gas-fired boiler supplying gas to a generator.
The advantage will be to reuse the heat released by the boiler and the heat engine for central heating or domestic hot water (DHW).
Be careful not to pump too many calories on the boiler and the engine stops at the risk of degrading their operation.

Question yield, it is less obvious ...

if you go get one, think of me
Total Energy Independence
The ST-5 was designed for those who cannot get on easily and have made electricity grid economically or completely uncertain about reliance on utilities to supply their electricity needs. If you need electricity in remote places where the electricity grid is not a feasible proposition; have suffered the inconvenience of the grid outage, wish to avoid utility forecasts "rate shocks", have found the internal combustion engine undesirable to safeguard your photovoltaic or wind system; actively seek alternative sources of energy for your safety and peace of mind, or simply if you desire a self-contained home energy system for your home or greenhouse, the ST-5 may be the solution you need. search.
The ST-5 The ST-5
. The ST-5 is a robust engine designed to produce more than 5 CV of reliable mechanical power and on demand, directly from a variety of renewable energy sources and gaseous fuels.
Its external combustion Stirling cycle eliminates spark plugs, fuel injection systems, mufflers, harmful vapors and, very clearly, the noise of internal combustion engines.
. This lack of complexity associated with the use of high quality sealed bearings and long service life impregnated with Teflon seals, eliminates the need for mess and oil changes allows a long and trouble free engine life. The ST-5 has been designed to be useful to the user with a basic minimum of hand tools.

. Most important of all, almost any combustible material is a good fuel for the ST-5.
. Acceptable between the different fuels are wood, wood pellets, husks and straw, shell, weeds and hay, cotton waste, other agro-by-products, and natural gas.
. This wide variety of suitable fuels ensures that you are able to produce your own fuel on your own property.

The ST-5 System and Operation The ST-5 and the system operation

. ST-5 The system has two main components - the ST-5 (engine) and the burner.
The function of the burner is to provide heat for heating the ST-5 head, which is inserted into the burner.
Two burner options are now available for the ST-5.
. A cyclone is a burner for small particles of fuel such as sawdust or other shredded biomass. . The second is a two-story wooden burner.
. Fuel is injected into the burner, either manually, as is the case with wood, or through a hopper burner, if small particles of fuel are used.
Gaseous fuels may be used in the cyclone of the burner by modifying the orifice.
The wood burner can contain enough fuel to run the engine at full power for two to four hours (depending on the wood used).


. In order to obtain the high temperatures necessary for engine operation, the two burners of a forced air fan.
Once the engine is started, the fan is managed by the ST-5 itself.
. Before the engine can be started, however, the fan must be operated for 10 minutes, either by a starter battery or by hand until the heating to temperature has reached the head.
Once the temperature is high enough (the ST-5 will start at temperatures around 950o F), a simple pull on the flywheel starts the engine.
. Once the temperature of this engine is an easy and safe way to start, eliminating the need for multiple pulls on a rope that recoil is often experienced with conventional engines.

Just like the ST-5 takes only a few minutes between the time you fire it until the time you launch it, it takes a little time to come to a stop even after the fuel supply has been cut off .
. This is because the heat retained in the head unit is sufficient to allow it to operate for 10 to 15 minutes, but at lower power.

. The cooling loop works like any automotive cooling system. A small pump, operated by the engine, circulates the coolant (water or water and glycol) through an automotive radiator, while a fan mounted on the steering wheel blows air into radiators and discharges of unused heat into the atmosphere.
