Hi,
I was wondering if there were any sizings for the sheet metal requirements for the DIY build. Everything seems to be in metric sizing in the uk, usefully, but never mind.
I worked out a 1250 x 2500 mm sheet was fine for the container walls. Being 50"x100".
The rings seem larger, but surely can be cut from within each other. Spaced separately it was about 6mx1m. Or 240"x 40"

It does look like there is an image on the main page near the plasma cutter image, but they don't open to the bigger image.

Cheers
James

Hey James,
The latest CAD files we have available is the version 4.0 posted here: http://wiki.gekgasif...eet metal parts

You can download these as .dxf, .pdf, or .dwg files.

The thicknesses that we use for the various parts are 10, 16 and 20awg.
The parts list is linked off of this page also.
Keep us in touch with your progress!

Just curious here but in the pdf file it only showed two legs.Does it tell the person that they need to duplicated parts or will I need to tell them certain parts need to be cut more then just once?I dropped Files off on a jump drive and it wouldn't load on his desktop pc running autocad but came up fine on the pc used at the cutting table.I am guessing it was updated version CAD.Are there other parts that should be duplicated too?He also was going to ad measurements to each part and save it on my jump drive so I would have them and didn't have to have CAD program see measurements.I was going to do this once I got cut outs before welding started but he said his program was able to do this and convert it to a pdf file for viewing.Just didn't see rushing out buying a CAD program so told him that would be nice if he could do that.
Would it hurt just to use 304ss metal for all items because it says it all fits on a 1 1/4 sheets but if its all different gauge metal and mild and SS then it cant be cut all out on same sheet.You mentioned awg but isn't that sizing for wiring?I just went with 10ga,16ga, and 22ga(not20) instead and Shop person said that's how they go by with their sizing.Just followed sizing in the 4.2 pdf file only changed awg to gauge...

Also the link you provided doesnt have the shaker grate on it , that part with holes in it to bring down ash.The pdf file 4.2 seems to have it on it but the 4.0 link you posted doesn't.

I ended up tossing out plans and making my own gasifier.which I finished.... Does anyone even look at this site anymore

I do, but it does seem surprising quiet sometimes.

Any pictures of your gasifier ?
