SHE'S bute!

in the holland they used such cars/trucks in the 2e world war allot

First a friend mentions the term Gasification. Then I'm amazed to see it run an old honda civic on Youtube. Then I'm amazed to hear during WWII, there were over 1,000,000 of these cars or trucks running in Europe. And now I'm watching a truck RUNNING today from the 40s on gasification. So let's see...it's been over 70 years, and it's a closed cycle fuel so no offshore drilling, no container ships, no processing plants...Why don't we see them everywhere? Easy, can't tax it;) Woot for gasification

@leifthor415 Because its not practical, and extremely dirty. Its hard to regulate the mixture, hard to start, and makes only limited power. That, and where would you get all the fuel from? It has a very low energy density. Ethanol/methanol fuel production or electricity generation from organic byproducts is much more practical and easy to implement than gasifying it directly (and is the method of choice in todays industrial world).

[mysock351W]

@leifthor415 The idea of using biomass for fuel is a good idea and one thats often implimented, but this is a very inefficient way to do it. Long start-up time, poor thermal efficiency and power, and large amounts of pollution. Theres a big gap between an "idea" and an idea thats practical to impliment. Maybe OK for some guy in the woods, but not on any sort of large scale.

Good old time engineering, not japanese crap

[antman08015]

these were very popular in europe during WWII when gas was hard to come by and wood fairly easy to come by

[chipjumper]

Interesting concept but I like how I just have to turn my key in the ignition to start up. As stated by stuartsbusshcraftblog, starting this thing up is akin to getting an airplane motor spinning.

[1kzrider]

I want this truck.

[nobodyprepper]

in the last two years I have seen hundreds of videos of the category tactical / prepping / survival ...

or just videos showing great ideas for saving money ...

My opinion is that your video has won all ...

if you need to fill up with fuel ... cut a dead tree ...

and the truck travels ... Fantastic!

[Rhinoch8]

@nobodyprepper Yes, you got the shredder in the trunk, feeding the wood dryer using the heat lost from the gasifier, that goes into the hopper. Just throw some dead stuff in the shredder!

[MegaLuckydog1]

note to self don't get caught without matches. lol

[TheGrayman1234]

Awesome!!!! Liked and fav'ed

[frackcha]

@ 4:20 the driver moves a lever and says something, can any1 more familiar with the language translate for me please, i need to know, my OCD is flickering like mentle :P

[lariwoo]

@frackcha It will either be to adjust the ignition timing or to adjust the fuel mixture. Not got a clue what he said though!

[woodnsteel19]

The only thing better than this truck hasnt been invented yet...Wonderful truck.

Great transportation for carpenters.

[a10fjet]

Oh no, theres an angry mob coming for the house, quick everyone get in the truck, we'll be outta here in ten minutes, tops!

Jk, this is awesome.

Beautifull rare preserved woodgas vehicle. Best wishes from Denmark

[blkcola]

Would love to see this done with fermented whiskey mash heated to 180 degrees. Would be a very unique demo and video....

[LeonRFpoa]

runs off wood. How fucked up is that? "I'm almost on empty." "Ok, I'll get the axe."

[Duckyistrippin]

Thanks for sharing!

[stuartsbushcraftblog]

Sounds like a P-47 thunderbolt starting up, this is how all vehicles should be, constantly monitoring your systems like a fighter bomber :-)

[confedswede]

kan man bygga en sjalv? det vill jag gora med en americansk School bus :)

[aaronready1]

[Gallohx]
