Wood Gasification Tractor (Pic Heavy)

jcdeboever · Sep 17, 2018

My new friend who looks like Kurtwood Smith... I never said a thing because he has heard a million times before. But I gave him a nickname, "Wood", he likes it. Heck, he has a wood burning carburetor for Pete's sake, PERFECT. He really is a brilliant mechanical minded man. His tractor is running off burning wood.

How in the heck did he do that?

I know a decent amount about engines and that makes zero sense to me.

Google wood gasification.

Wood gasifiers were very common in England in WWII; the system works, but it's not very efficient. Basically, what you do is take a bunch of wood chips and heat them; not burn them, but heat them, 'double-boiler' style. When they're hot enough, they emit a combustible gas which is then piped to the carburettor and the engine runs as it would on LNG or LPG.
