[AT] gasifiers

[Mark Greer]

Just wondering out loud if shelled corn might be a suitable fuel for this 
process? Seems like it is already in a suitable size and it may be cheap and 
in excess soon with so many ethanol plants closing and so many dairy herds 
being sent to slaughter.......

Thanks for you input Gene. It reminds me of a "lesson" from one of the
video.  The guy said to view simple gasification to just light a match and
notice that it is not the wood burning but the gas above the wood.  I think
the advantage of the gasifiers is that they, as you mentioned, extract the
last of the volitile compounds from the coals and leave what the "green"
folks call bio-char.
