Awsome! I am not sure of the practicality but great to see that people still have an element of madness and crativety!! Long live Steampunk!!! I wish you all the best in further development of this porject.:)
how much did the conversion cost, you seem to have a pretty sweet setup
at about :20 the narrator says “El Camino”. Anybody see one?
It is quite sad, the US has been corrupted and destroyed by greed and power crazed satanic people. Notice how nearly all democracies have flouridated water. Flouride was added to the water in **** Germany’s concentration camps. It permanently reduces IQ, shortens memory and makes those exposed placid, compliant and easily manipulated. The US is just about to implode and take most of the free world with it. We will all need this technology very soon.
Its not practical as a personal transport but adapt this tech to public transport i.e. bus thats possible.
but the conbustion like my breakfast, walnuts are not the same.. well but maybe technology will inprove it, that thought it´s awesome I like the way you think make´s me feel like the movie ¨Back From The Future¨.
it doesn’t have to be run on wood. you can run a gasifier on practically any biomass (garbage, corn stalks [which are thrown away], wheat chaff [also thrown away], leftover breakfast, coffee grounds, walnut shells, etc. just to name a few). so no, the trees will not disappear, but if we play our cards right, the landfills very well could!
all this, AND IT’S STILL NEUTRAL on pollution.
agreed. btw it’s called “try-sexuality”… they’ll try anything.*shudder*
but when (not if) the US collapses, it will be those who are currently exercising their rights that will rebuild. those that know WHY we need the right to own a gun, those that would look to this kind of technology for alternative forms of locomotion and energy.
someday things will improve, but unfortunately for that to happen we as a country need a disaster to wake us up.
Yeah it’s cleaner.. but imagine.. someday without trees?.. greetings from Mexico City!
i really like the idea of using a gasifier to reform fuels. it allows a great deal of freedom, even liquid fuels can be used in a gasifier! practically any hydrocarbon can make syngas to burn in an engine.
the future is not “alternative energy”, it’s alternative FUEL! and the gasifier is, in my opinion, one of the [oldest, and still] most promising technologies available for this application.
i’m not quite sure what you mean by “still the contamination”. gasifiers are technically “carbon neutral” because any exhaust put into the is consumed by the growth of plants that will be one day used for fuel.
besides, with a properly functioning gasifier, the exhaust is only CO2 and H2O! that’s MUCH cleaner than gasoline.
Hello from Australia.
What a way to go! Love what you have done. I was wondering to make this a day to day usable mode of transport could some of the wood gas be taken off and compressed? This compressed reserve could be used for starting the wood gas burner and having a true cold start enabling the wood burner to get up to temperature whilst you are driving.
nice men i have the same project in my mind but with a pick up truck
Hello from America 
Nice car 
it looks like its from the MadMax movies with all the pipes and custom work done to it, and w00t! its a Volvo, we have them in America i like those cars, the old ones are the best, 240’s 740’s 940’s etc. take care..
please help me with my gasifier, check my videos… i also want to used it in my truck…
Hah!! can you say ” chitty chitty bang bang!!!!”
You guys like fuzzy dice to? I thought that was just a cheesy american thing. GREAT CAR
Hello from Montana, USA.
I think there’s a chance we will build one. Have just the perfect old Chevy truck to do it and plenty of trees around here. I’d also like to run a generator for an ‘off the grid’ cabin.
