I'm all for research and innovation, but F-T is big mountain to climb. There have been people that have spent 10's of millions of dollars on this with nothing to show for it. You likely know this, but the biggest challenge you may have is the gas composition of woodgas from an air-blown, atmospheric gasifier. Over half of the gas is just nitrogen (N2) which carries through from the atmosphere. Most people working on F-T are using steam or oxygen blown gasification that results in syngas with much larger relative volumes of hydrogen and CO. Good luck, and I would be very interested in meeting you sometime; fellow Michigan boy here working on larger scale gasification of solid waste. Cheers!
