There's an old trucker that has replaced the sleeper in his Kenworth with a massive wood gas engine, when he needs to fuel up he just pulls over and goes out with his chainsaw and gathers wood. If you happen to see him go by hauling a lode, listen carefully and you can hear him laughing "cause he ant payed for gas since 1972" Around the country he is known only as "The Mad Hillbilly"

If you google woodgas emissions you will find much information on the subject but the short answer is the emissions are quite clean,mostly CO2 and h20.The exhaust from the tailpipe doesn't have a petrol exhaust smell to it. Before the smoke turns to woodgas,it smells like any other wood smoke but gradually takes on more of a faint creosote smell as better gas is produced.

How long will this vehicle run before it starts to have problems associated with burning wood gas? I assume there are plenty of differences between gasoline and wood gas, more impurities, tars, tannins, sulphurs, etc. any notion?
@oldplaner
@oldplaner 6 лет назад
I think there are similarities to taking care of a horse and running a woodgas vehicle.You must prepare the feed before hand, and cleanup afterward. Ash must be dumped and the gasifier and cooler cleaned occasionally. Tars are going to be a problem if the gasifier wasn't built properly or wet wood used.

I don't believe that either. What I said was a 40 lb sack of wood chunks will get the truck 25 miles or so down the road,or 25 miles per 40 lb sack. The power loss numbers I hear for woodgas compared to gasoline are a 30% power loss and I think that is close to what I experience also.

@kerim.peardon5551
@kerim.peardon5551 6 лет назад
It does work with coal. There is a 6-episode series from the BBC called "Wartime Farm." I think it's episode 5 where they convert a 1930's era ambulance to run on coal, which, while rationed in Britain during the War, was not as strictly rationed as gas (petrol). I think it was able to go 40 miles on a full "tank" of coal. There were also natural gas-powered buses in the cities, which they could fill from the mains. (They're pretty funny looking; like a hot air balloon sitting on top of a one-decker bus that looks like a double-decker because of how tall the gas balloon is.) But out in the country there were no gas lines, so some people converted old vehicles to run on coal.
