So, just to make sure I understand you, to support a 15 kW generator would require in the neighborhood of 40 lbs of seasoned wood per hour?

I read where a rough rule of thumb is 33 HP/liter of engine displacement - so this gasifier runs 30-150 HP engines? That's pretty big - makes power generation seem feasible. How many pounds of wood per hour does it consume?

Unless I missed it, didn't see in the video on the Gasifier Builders Bible any mention that suggested what horse power engine could be supported by the design in the book. Does a scaling factor vs HP curve exist for supporting different size engines?

PS - Love the use of an O2 sensor and associated electronics for controlling carburetion.
