Very clever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFuTCpCVSbM
Wood gas generator, gasifier gasification from The Colony
If you watched The Colony season 1 from the Discovery Channel you will remember that they powered a small engine from the fumes of heated wood. Is it possible? what’s your opinion? In this video, John the scientist explains how he is going to create a gassifier. skip to 7:39 if you like. PART ONE […]
