General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Electric generation?

« on: January 15, 2013, 09:24:23 AM »

Hi there.  I'm new to the board and just stumbled across this thread.  I know the original poster was trying to get electricity from the boiler he already has, but there is a company that offers a wood burning power plant that generates 5kW of electricity.  Check it out http://gasifier.wpengine.com/personal-energy-grid  The waste product is heat which the unit can use to heat the house as well. 

I don't own one and I've never seen one in action, but the idea is cool.

Very cool, but at that $$$$$$$ you would never make a profit.

Depending on the life of the machine.  It may take 20 or 25 years but I dont think the payback time is much cheaper for solar setups?  Now if the machine was used up after 10 years then you def lose.  But it looks well built.  never seen one in person though.

Been burning wood my whole life.  Finally got an outdoor boiler when I bought my new house.  I love it.
