Step 12Install the grate, jigglerator, and dump ports
- At the bottom of the GEK cowling is the standard GEK ash grate for holding up the fuel in the gas producing reduction zone, and allowing ash to filter out the catch basin. In a standard GEK the grate has an external bar for turning by hand.
- We connected the grate drive shaft to a windshield wiper motor mounted to the bottom of the box, so that it can be turned automatically. We call it the JIGGLERATOR. although we do love its name, testing of the vehicle showed that at least in city driving, the car bumps around enough by itself to unclog any fuel jams.
- Also on the bottom are dump ports for ash and water condensate from the output syngas.
