Gasifier construction set: [1]
Mike Koch's gasifier, U. Missouri, Columbia, 2008 Capstone Project, Mechanical Engineering: [2]
A gasifier can also be used to make biochar. Here are some simple design examples for charcoal/biochar-producing biomass gasifiers:
- 50 kilowatt wood pellet gasifier
- Charcoal kiln at A.R.T.I.
- Folke Günther's design: "the simplest of the simple - a two-barrel charcoal retort"
- Tom Reed's TurboStove

Ben's gasifier - not open source, though

Ben is building a 40 kW gasifier CHP system, and may be interested in a steam engine
Packed bed, downdraft:
Modified fluidyne gasifier.
Doug Williams – fluidyne gasifier - http://www.fluidynenz.250x.com/
Fab shop in Viroqua – friend of Ben – Roger Tullifson, Tollifson repair– did a heat exchanger for diesel exhaust.
Dig up solenoid valves contact – some open source people
