Convert your Honda Accord to run on trash

Step 6 Fabricating the basic GEK

The standard GEK gasifier system consists of the following seven components. For the Honda GEK we made a few slight changes to the standard GEK design which are noted below (and detailed in later steps here).

Gas making:
1. Gas cowling and ash grate (for honda - cowling built into box, grate has motor mount)
2. Downdraft reactor (for honda: larger reduction bell)
3. Fuel hopper (for honda: shaped to fit behind rear window)

Particulate clean-up:
4. Cyclone (no change)
5. Packed bed filter (no change)

Gas combustion:
6. Centrifugal vac/blower (no change)
7. Swirl burner (no change)

We will be building each of these components separately in a "slight detour Instructable" dedicated to the welding project. After we're finished, we'll return right here to consider the final assembly and preparation for the first test run.

CAD drawings for all the sheet metal parts and assembled vessels are below, as well as on the download page of the main GEK site at: http://gekgasifier.pbworks.com/How-to-Build-and-Run-the-GEK-Gasifier

And now, get you MIG welders ready, its time to fabricate your GEK . . .
