The thing is, you are already get lots of small HC's as the wood decomposes. Much more then say crude oil that has lots of long chains. And that is the first stage of wood decomposition. The second stage when coal breaks down needs no cracking.
Water takes a tremendous amount of energy to turn it into steam. Since you could get pretty high efficiency without using this steam I would put my money on a net loss unless you where able to recondense the water and recover that heat. Then maybe you can get close to what it would be with just an efficient burning standard masonry heater.
If I remember correctly back from my days of making gas and diesel from plastics, steam is commonly used to crack via the HEAT of the steam and its high heat capacity and not necessarily a catalyst effect. With a well insulated burn chamber, this can be done without steam.
I also remember that the other reason to use steam is to help saturated the unsaturated hydrocarbon chains. If you are just burning the wood and not distilling then I don't see the benefit of this

I have seen the actual test and its the opposite of your theories.
Thanks for taking time anyway I appreciate it. Its just that I saw something in actual that disproves your theories and reasoning. I know this is something. And I want as many people to benefit from it. Because in the end it is all of us who will benefit from clean air and more trees. I don't intend to monopolize this technology thus I also don't intend to monopolize the hard work in developing it into a more defined system. If anyone wants to have fun with me on this project much better. If not I will be just fine.
This tech is the future of burning wood.
