Gas cars - tossed wood and went Bashny.Net

Gas car is presented in the form of a vehicle engine which receives the gas generator produce gas as fuel. For production of fuel can be used peat, coal briquettes, firewood and so on.

From the history of gas engines is George Imbert owe the world for creating the modern view of the gas generator. All his life he was engaged in the improvement of the reporting mechanism and implementing it in everyday life. 1870 — the wood fuel began to exploit in daily life, but as a source of energy for cooking and street lighting.
1928 – the first test machine of gas plant in the USSR.
1934 – the first test run.
1936 – the Soviet Union began the official production of cars and tractors gas type.
1938 – in Europe there are more than 9 thousand cars on gas fuel.
1941 – the number of such vehicles in Europe increased 50 times in Germany reached three hundred thousand copies.
Interest in producer gas plant as the manufacturer of fuel based on wood came during the Second World war, when the cost of fuel has risen and liquid fuels together with fossil were in short supply. After the war on the production of fuels from wood forgot, because gasoline has become available again, as before.
1957 – Sweden interested in research in the field immediate move to the standard of cars on gas fuel. As a result, scientists got a huge theoretical and practical experience for further development.

The principle of operation of gas cars Work car with a gas generator based on incomplete combustion of carbon. When burned, it can attach one or two atoms of oxygen, then carbon monoxide is formed and carbon dioxide. A third of the energy of the number of full combustion is released when incomplete reaction. Consequently, the resulting gas has a lower calorific value compared to the original fuel. In addition, when water is added between the component and the monoxide is exothermic reaction produces carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Due to this reaction, the temperature of the resulting gas is reduced and the efficiency of the processor decreases to 80%. If you cool the gas before use is not necessary, the efficiency tends to 95%.

Video producer gas vehicle wood gas car Types, a Significant difference between different types of vehicles considered is the layout of the installation of the gas generator on the chassis of the machine, the design of the engine and transmission. Therefore, gas cars are divided into two groups:

Machines that are designed for continuous operation in generator gas; Machine working on generator gas after the transformation from the diesel or petrol models. The advantages of machine gas type

• The use of renewable fuel without prior processing;
• For the production of fuel does not need energy except for chopping or cutting wood;
• No need to use a powerful chemical battery;
• The gasifier acts as a natural battery
• There is no need to apply high-tech processing regarding faulty or used batteries;
• Waste gasifiers serve as a fertilizer (ash);
• Environmental pollution is much less.
• The gasification process of the wood itself is cleaner than direct burning.

Disadvantages of machinery gas type

• Large size plants for the production of gas;
• The great mass of the considered element (several hundred kilograms);
• Low energy density of wood gas;
• The energy value of wood gas is 5.7 MJ / kg, whereas that of natural gas — 56 MJ / kg and gasoline — 44 MJ / kg.
• The level of speed and acceleration when working with wood gas is much lower compared to the performance of the gasoline;
• If this type of machine will become popular, will begin global deforestation.
