Successful test.
Idled a 8hp engine on a mixture of charcoal and road side trash ....... for 6 hours.
Today is after test system examination and prep for test #2.
Tomorrow, barring unforeseen circumstances, we will run an identical test with a irrigation pump as a load.

Well that was gratifying. Thank you God.
We ran for 5 hours pumping 4" irrigation pipe full. Shutdown early because relatives wanted to go home before sunset.
My best guess is one 200L drum of charcoal would irrigate for about 6 maybe 7 hours nonstop. And the quality of our charcoal was piss poor to downright sh_tty. Made from a wood pile that has been out in the open for 5 or 6 years now. No telling what the run time will be if I used decent wood.
That puts a book end on the projects I told y'all about. Enjoy your reset.

That looked like a fun day. Educational as wells, but would have been fun to see something like that come to life in your own yard. Makes gardening a lot less expensive on the electrical/gas bill.
