The ejector venturi used to motivate the wood gas on start up runs off of compressed air. After the GEK gasifier is brought up to temperatures high enough to crack the wood tar, the air compressor is turned off and the engine motivates the wood gas through the gasifier throughout the duration of the run. The specs for the air compressor needed is about 6-8 CFM at about 90-120 psi.
