i seen a German car-show about a car that runs on wood (from factory, without modification) a few years ago, built in the 50s or 60s, there are only a few left, some old man had it and drove it around. top speed was 80kph or so. it was very cool
There were producer gas busses in London in the 40's, but then peas and prospectivity happened.
Saw a Honda 125 in Gainesville Florida in the late 70's - producer stack in an old fire extinguisher on the back rack. I wanted to put a stack in a sidecar on a 500 single. There ought to be a way to do it better / lighter / cleaner / safer. Silver (Long John?) here is right to be pessimistic about UK authorities though.
Cheers to all of you, Good luck Vedbil and KEEP GOING.
i assume there cant be many cops,or even other people,in parts of sweden,I couldnt go 5 miles without getting nicked in the uk for using an illegal fuel source thats not subject to tax on the road here in the shitty UK.
Oh yeah? Well, i survived three hours with a wood-gas powered car in London a mounth ago :-) (First time i ever drived a car in the UK with left side trafic)
Rise up!dont put up with that nanny state run by innbred royals!Hell,you cant even own a gun in the UK.We wont tolerate the state sticking their hand up our ass like that here.
if the cops pull you over you just say your delivering a wood stove

I've just spent ages reading your website about the fun you've had with this car. I think I want one!
Keep up the good work.
Great soundtrack too, Who is it and what's it called? I need that too.

2 questions.. 1. what is the fuel? wood chips, pellets, sawdust? 2. how far can you drive before needing to add more fuel?

Kollar på tripmätaren. De går ca 5 mil på en laddning. Ja - Kör man för långt, så tappar den kraft och systemet blir väldigt varmt.
