The Gasifier Experimenters Kit (GEK) wiki sandbox

    Pushing wood gas beyond the Imbert 

 

    

  

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're creating a sandbox for community contributed run reports, fuel tests, GEK improvement ideas, raw science, practical engineering, and other topics of interest for gasifier geeks. 

 

The wiki is open for any contributions and/or edits you would like to offer.  We hope you will join us for the GEK experiment in collaborative science and open source engineering.  To get our email updates, click here and fill in the blanks.

 

As of March 22, we've lauched a proper BBS Discussion Forum to support the GEK collaboration and community.  The topic structure of the wiki and BBS are organized in parallel, for easy info transfer and discussion between them.   We look forward to both filling with your activities and innovations in the coming months.
