WOOD POWER! Off Grid Electricity from Wood - Part 1
Gridlessness・15 minutes read
A wood gasifier device converts wood into generator gas, running a generator to provide off-grid power without the need for a river, as demonstrated by Steve Off Grid 48 using the V3 model. While a pre-built wood gasifier can cost around $15,000, building it yourself could be half the price, involving welding and a 50-hour assembly process.
Insights
- Wood gasifiers can convert wood into generator gas, running a generator for 3 to 5 hours with a 5kW capacity, offering off-grid power without the need for a river.
- Building a wood gasifier yourself can significantly reduce costs compared to purchasing a pre-built one, with potential savings of around 50%, though the assembly process involves welding and meticulous pressure testing to ensure airtightness, taking approximately 50 hours to complete.
