Back to the idea of running on woodgas I guess. I didn't think the water content would be a problem, as it would essentially be steam injection. But the other issues seem insurmountable. Arnt even if the engine could run hotter with better materials, would that not cause pre-ignition? Just a further question re woodgas in engines. When calculating the size of the gasifier with regards to engine output, is this done on the engines output on conventional fuel, or its estimated output on woodgas?

Typical..yitco tans a good deal of water which of course will distill over. However, it is full of free radicals,and heating caused it to turn to a solid mess. I'm sure that some volatiles could be collected, but not much. Most of the work was done by Jim Diebold, now at Community Power Corp.in Littleton. Slow pyrolysis of course produces a few % methanol, acetone, vanillin etc. Good luck, Tom Reed Dr Thomas B Reed President, The Biomass Energy Foundation www.Woodgas.com On Mar 19, 2011, at 13:39, Jason Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: > A thought occurred to me overnight as I contemplated building a gasifier for a car. > > I know of people that used waster Avtur to run their car by using a vapouriser, after first warming it up on petrol.
