No gas required

Hi. I'm DaveShow more

I designed a Bio-Mass Power pack (BMP) concept that can be attached to any bicycle for use as an alternative power option going up hills and long journeys.

Takeaway from this is to break away from the elite's grip on enslavement. Be independent to any one system. All that is required is wood, water and fire. When the Commissars decide to play their silly economic games and gas is hard to find, the BMP may be used as an alternative option.

The BMP may be attached to a quad four wheeled camper, truck or a generator as well. This presents just a few of many transform abilities for the BMP including power requirements for factories, farms, industry etc.

The vehicle BMP concept has the ability to negotiate more issues and obstacles than the rest of the pack combined because of its size and weight. It is possible to lift jump over fences and cross rivers. That is clearly what distinguishes it.

Just in case the stuff should hit the fan, I converted two motorized mountain bikes into a multi-passenger off-road bug out camper.

The BMP includes a Wetz style direct condenser, an 80cc modified 2 stroke bicycle engine kit, a monotube over-through boiler with burner, a pressure washer pump and a stratified downdraft gasifier. Mostly kits ordered online.

The goal of this design is to eliminate as much machining and welding as possible for the DIY enthusiast and make it affordable by using kits and standard off-the-shelf items.

Since the amount of energy supplied determines useful output. The stratified downdraft gasifier produces a bio mass product CH(1.4) O(0.6) + 1.05 O(2) + 3.95 N(2) with a higher heating value of 20.9 kJ/g (8990 BTU/lb) and a lower heating value of 20.4 kJ/g (8771 BTU/lb).

Thermodynamic properties show Wetz style direct condenser pressure PA = 20 psia; temperature 227.96 F; Specific volume V f,2 = 0.01683; enthalpy h f,2 = 196.16 Btu/lb; entropy S f,2 = 0.3356 Pump pressure PB = 300 psia; temperature 227.96 F; Specific volume V f,2 = 0.01683; enthalpy hB = 196.16 Btu/lb; entropy S f,2 = 0.3356 Steam generator PD = 300 psia; temperature 417.33 F; Specific volume VD = 1.547; enthalpy hD = 1193.8; entropy SD = 1.5019 Engine exit PE = 20 psia; temperature = 227.96 F; XE = 0.835; Specific volume VE = 16.767; enthalpy hE = 998.16; entropy SE = 1.5019 Pump work WP = 680 ft-lb = 0.874 Btu/lb Engine work WE = -152,200 ft-lb = -195.7 Btu/lb Net work output = -151,520 ft-lb = -194.8 Btu/lb Energy supplied as heat 996.87 Btu/lb Energy discard - 802.06 Btu/lb Steam ideally required per hp-hr of output 13.1 lb/hp-hr Rankine cycle efficiency 19.6% Carnot cycle thermal efficiency 21.6% Type efficiency 90.8%

I created a "HOW TO" book for the student, designer, and design-build enthusiast whose interest and aim is to design and build their own propulsion system using steam energy in times of austerity or fuel shortages.
