Wood Gasifier Builder's Bible: Transform Tree Branches Into Free Bio-fuel in Minutes Paperback – May 8, 2017

I ordered my copy regular delivery on the 19th, and received it on the 23rd. Thanks Amazon!So, you reading this are wondering if this book will give you what you want, what you need for your $59 base USD layed out?Two days now I've had a chance to page, by page, detail read this now.For most who are interested enough to even look at a book of this type: yes, Yes, and YES.For a few . . . . m-a-y-b-e, you betcha'.And for a very few other looking: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.I reviewed the first book release version in 2014. I will not be repeating saying what I'd said back then. So first best you click back and read the 12-13 reviews of that Ist version. Amazon #1501092761It will be the one with the red outlined welder man/woman on the cover. Read those and all to heart. Read the other so far 6 reviews on this second version (with the Mustang car on the cover).I'd said before that the first book version had more picture in it than ANY three other woodgas publication that i had out of 32, then total.True. For photo-pictures. I've had to learn to follow some of these when written in German, Dutch, French, Russian, and even some old info in Portuguese and Spanish. The Swedes and Finnish have been very good getting their information up into universal English. Google translate is ok, but poor for last centuries archaic languages and technical languages. It was the numerical tables, charts, graphs and line illustrations and maths equations than has made understanding possible.So re-comparing now adding up all of these, this is how my major-use publications compare:1st Woodgas Builders Bible count out to an actual 401.This 2nd revised/expanded version counts out to 517.Vesa Mikkonnen's (2010 version) WOOD GAS FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS counts out to 516.Wayne Kieth's/Chris Seanz's 2013 Have Wood Will Travel counts out to 132.1983 published Producer Gas: Another Fuel for Motor Transportation counts out to 99.And my personal favorite: 1974's THE PEGUSAS GASIFIER by Niels A. Snov & Mark L. Papworth count out as 82. (This one re-published released as Drive On Wood)Only three out of all of the wonderful 19th, 20th and now 21st century books could you actually build a durable, effective working unit from.Historical inspiration is fine and dandy. But it is knowing there is a way forward to those willing to "sweat the wood" to have personal modern life energy that is great! Using only the suns energy that falls annually onto the face of our blue-green home that is the heart of the matter.We've been needing a PLAN-of-Action book for a long time. 19th, and 20th century works did not deliver this.NOW we have three 21st century written and released books.Only this one: BenP's book is the only one of these three can buy, one-button Amazon.VesaM's book has no ISBN. No publishing house. He has these printed up and pictures hand binding these himself. in 2010 it was 121 Euros. And worth every centime. Still available.Wayne Kieth's book you direct order on the site Chris Saenz hosts and Administrates. $50 buy you the book (Not Amazon or any other) and a one-years subscription to the Kieth gasifier premium section of that site. Lots of Do-builder help there.When BenP released his first book version that was in conjustion with an eight part series of youtubes covering history, theory, show-and-tell Ben'sBook System building. Even a bit of his own person history/quest. His goals for the future.The first book was just suppose to be the building PLAN and operational details.But he named it "Bible". Setting up the expectations for a woodgas "genesis" history beginning. And a future "revelations" ending.The additional 90 pages and reduced font size in this second version adds all of this in. And so actually has twice the content.DOers. DO BUY THIS BOOK.Another reviewer here, a previous first book version buyer says to buy this one too. All of the PLAN info is still there. many of the diagrams now 3-D superimposed. A bit of math now for those insisting. Expanded downward engine range usage from 1000cc to 500cc. And a whole lot of cheeky BenP humor, pithy been-there, tried-that wisdoms, too.Yep BenP is my friend. Dragged me out of my seclusion-shell and did a video interview of me. Who is me? Back cover of this book can be brought up, expanded out to be able to read the 20 different types of folks BEnP directed this book towards. Me-us-we ain't any of those. We are the 3rd-5th generation of Rural living landowner WHO NEVER LEFT. Staying, and hanging on. We grow/raise trees, crops, critters, and kids.And Who-Should-Not-Buy-This book? Sheeple. Cake-eaters, Pizza-eaters. Believers that a 1985 Hollywood writers fantasy about a Delorean mounted eats-all Mr Fusion 2000 will be genuis'ed-up, Just-In-Time-of-Need, if you just Disney/Peter-Pan believe and wish it hard enough. Just because you have N-e-e-d-s. Better to spend your $59 going out and planting W.A.L.L.I.'s captains pizza-trees.Steve Unruh associate member of the 5000 strong Washington State Tree Farmers Association; member of the the Washington State Grange Association

Many gasifier plans are out there. Most of them work fairly well too. This book is truly a step by step gasifier build that is extremely efficient. The calculation (very easy to understand) is also shown to size the gasifier to the motor one plans to use. All parts are easily obtained through Home Depot and other sources. Part numbers are also given to make finding them a breeze. This book is badass!!

I am a red seal fabricator welder and I found this book informative and technically sound.However the format makes things understandable in such a way that even a non-trades person could make the final product happen.

I have built a couple small experimental gasifiers and have the first edition of this book. The author put even more details in the 2nd edition and hides nothing and has taken the mystery out of how they work and how to build one. Anyone with the ability to cut and weld can build one.

Not sure if I'll ever be able to build one but nice to know I have step by step plans if I need to. Not just a set of blue prints, gives details on how to size your projects to what you need and the science behind everything.

Yes, there is information out there and you could, with lots of experimentation figure it out. Our grandfathers did during WWII to run their tractors. I am going to build a few of these, but just having the book handy is a great insurance policy.

If you want to understand how a Gasifyer works, buy this book.If you want to understand how to build a Gasifyer, buy this book.If you need a technical guide, with all pictures and dimensions, buy this book.If at the end of your project if you want a working Gasifyer, buy this book.

Very detailed

Just received the book and can't wait to start to build a unit. Very detailed and concise instructions. Very great book.
