I'm in the process of building the Ben Peterson design (first video).
95% done with the gasifier, done with the filter housing, still need to do the cooling rack and frame.
Things I wish I knew before starting:
The Ben Peterson design/book is ideal for a stationary generator, the Wayne Keith book is better for running a truck. I'm trying to run a truck with it but didn't learn about the WK until I had already started making the BP.
If you're making the BP, instead of using a propane tank as the outer shell and welding stuff inside of it, use it as the inner layer and weld sections to the outside of it. Much easier construction and welding.
Anyways, tag
Edit: Also the gas is like pure carbon monoxide so don't test it in your garage like that guy
