wood gas

Even today there are cars which use wood gas as fuel.

He also designed, though apparently did not build, a wood gas engine.

During the war, many of these trucks were equipped with wood gas generators.

The wood gas is then piped directly into the generator engine.

The gas mixture produced by this process is known as wood gas.

Most engines were converted to run on wood gas.

Sipilä is known for his wood gas car hobby.

The wood gas was made in a special oven called generator, which was carried on the car.

Alternative fuel vehicles use less common fuels like natural gas, wood gas or electricity.

Especially the HC emissions are low on wood gas.

Wood gas: produced in a gasifier to power cars with ordinary internal combustion engines.

My favourite off-grid device is my wood gas stove.

During the Second World War many of these trucks had their engines converted to run on wood gas.

Bioenergy (from the wood gas by-product of the pyrolysis).

Wood gas generators have a number of advantages over use of petroleum fuels:

Extra income was obtained by selling coal, and buses were powered by wood gas generators.

At the wood gas power plant are also two containers for experiments with wood gas.

In one container is an experiment to convert wood gas, using the Fischer-Tropsch process, to a diesel-like fuel.

The disadvantages of wood gas generators are:

The fire heats the wood in the second container releasing a flammable vapor called wood gas.

The wood gas generator, a wood-fueled gasification reactor, can be connected to an internal combustion engine.

Hot fires burn the wood gases more completely and heat the fireplace bricks so they reflect more heat into the room.

Historically wood gas generators were often mounted on vehicles, but present studies and developments concentrate mostly on stationary plants.

A 2010 Mother Earth News article discussed and showed pictures of a wood gas powered engine installed in a pickup truck.

The first vehicle powered by wood gas was built by Thomas Hugh Parker in 1901.
