Wood gas power generation

I know this topic has been posted here before, but it seems like a pretty good time to remind everyone that there are alternatives to gasoline and propane (and solar) for generating electricity. This is a pretty good build, and gets the mind thinking about what it will take to build an alternative like this for the coming dark times. Probably not a bad idea to start sourcing the components. I’ve also downloaded the FEMA manual mentioned in the video and LINKED IT HERE.

Filter the wood gas well or learn how to disassemble and clean your valves often.
Carb engines only, no computer I know of can adjust to wood gas.

Excellent ! I have enough Ohio hardwoods here on the homestead to power a small town . There used to be an old guy in this county that drove an old Ford F350 around with a big gasifier in the bed . Hauled his fuel around as he drove . When he was burning Wild Black American Cherry it made the whole little county town seat village smell good .

build it now, cause if the grid goes down, ya won’t have a welder, metal saw, drill press, and all those other power tools this guy used to assemble his good looking unit. also might want to look at another method of feeding the smoke generator, as there will be no commercial wood pellets available.
