The SABER (Quart version)

The other byproduct the SABER produces at the same time is pure charcoal, which can be used in charcoal grills, charcoal stoves, fertilizers, pyrotechnics, and can even be used to create even more gas.

So how does it work? In order to explain how the SABER works, its important to understand how wood burns.

When wood is super heated, it begins to chemically break down. The chemical bonds holding it's atoms together begin to snap and separate, creating many different products, but the majority of these products are flammable gasses. This mixture of gasses are released from the wood and if they come into contact with enough heat and oxygen, they ignite, creating more heat, and the process repeats.

The SABER allows you to super heat wood in an oxygen deprived environment, so when the gas is released from the wood it cannot ignite. We can then cool the gas, filter the gas, and then store the gas until we need it (the gas filter and storage tank are also available from Unlinked Energy, but not included with this product).

How to use

In order to produce gas with this device, simply fill the container with wood (sticks, wood chips, saw dust, etc.) and seal the lid on top.

Important: Keep in mind, the faster the wood you put inside the SABER burns, the faster it will generate gas. If the wood inside is too small and generates gas too fast it could cause the SABER to over pressurize, which would make the lid pop off. In order to prevent this, we recommend loading the SABER with wood that is the perfect size for charcoal briquettes, or larger.

Now prepare your heating method.

In order to super heat the SABER (recommended temp: 800F or higher), use a stove or campfire. A camp fire is the most affordable option, but remember, only burn where and when permitted, when its safe to do so, and with enough water ready to put out a fire at least 2 times larger than planned.

Place SABER into the center of your fire pit or onto a stove and carefully extend the copper tube, as to avoid kinks in the tube. If the tube is kinked by accident, simply bend both sides of the kink back into a straight position and use a pair of pliers to squeeze the tube back to a perfect round shape. Extended the copper tube at least a few feet away from the fire and direct a few feet, or several loops of the tube, through a bucket of water. The bucket of water will cool the gas to almost outside air temperature as it moves away from the high temperature chamber (add more of the copper tubing to the bucket of water if more cooling is needed). Then direct the copper tube out of the bucket of water and connect the brass fitting to a 3/8 inch inner diameter (ID) vinyl tube.

We recommend using a filter, or multiple stages of filters, to filter the gas before immediate use or storage (We make compatible “simple gas filters” too).

The storage tank must be able to store gas at low pressure so that the gas naturally flows into the tank from the SABER and filtration system. The gas can be used directly from this storage tank (with low pressure flashback arrestor) or, if proper precautions are taken, pressurized into a pressure tank for later use. It is recommended (but not required) to use a gasometer tank (also known as a gas holder) as a low pressure storage tank because of its ability to purge itself of air, and also filter the gas over time, while storing the gas at a consistent low pressure.

NOTE FOR NERDS:

It’s important to mention, this product is just a simple pyrolysis reactor, which is a device or system where contents are heated in an oxygen deprived environment to make many different products (see the Wikipedia page on pyrolysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis). So if you are a nerd like us (with training and experience), you could modify the SABER to produce many other products such as a synthetic crude oil from rubber products and plastics, which could then be refined and made into synthetic gasoline, diesel or other synthetic versions of petroleum products.

CAUTION: Modify the SABER for other uses at your own risk. Unlinked Energy does not take any responsibility for use or modifications which deviate from normal advertised use (with only wood).

The SABER (Quart version)

- Produces flammable syn gas (synthesis gas), which can be used (with modifications) in propane or natural gas stoves and heaters, as well as four stroke engines.

- Produces up to 5 cubic feet of flammable gas every use.

- Produces pure charcoal

- Uses any type of wood

- Lasts up to 20 uses (potentially more)

- Overpressure protection

- Due to the gasses high content of carbon monoxide, this gas is only suitable for outdoor applications.

- Made in U.S.A. with global materials

Due to the build up of tar and creosote in the copper tubing, the rusting and extreme heating and cooling of the main body (reactor), and the wear on the sealing surfaces, the SABER does not last forever. With proper care, the SABER can last up to 20 uses or even more. Here are some tips to increase the longevity of your SABER.

To extend the life of your copper tubing, try to bend it less, and clean the inside between every use. Clean the inside of the tubing with high pressure air or run a 25 foot or longer piece of wire through the tubing, removing any clogs or build up. If you don't have the ability to do either of the listed options, try to clean both inlet and outlets of the tubing with a drill bit.

Protect the SABER from rust by keeping it in a dry place between uses. Also try to avoid bending or denting the main body during use.

The SABER is a simple device that uses wood to create a flammable gas known as Syn gas (Synthesis gas). Syn gas can be used (with modifications) in propane or natural gas stoves and heaters, as well as four stroke engines.

Note: Due to the gasses high content of carbon monoxide, this gas is only suitable for outdoor applications.
