Gasifier Experimenters Kit (GEK)
This wiki is to support collaboration and iterative development of the Gasifier Experimenters Kit (GEK) from ALL Power Labs. General infomation about the kit is on the main GEK site. Here in the wiki we intend to create a sand box for community contributed run reports, favored configurations, fuel tests, science resources, engineering musings, and other topics of interest for gasifier geeks. The wiki is open for any contributions and/or edits you would like to offer. We invite you to join us for the GEK experiment in collaborative science and open source engineering.

What's New:
There’s a lot happening with All Power Labs and the GEK these days, so we decided to create a single location for news.
Click here to see everything that's going on, as of January 22nd,
Here's a map of where GEK are in the world, or currently on the way.
