Trash Powered Honda - DIY - www.gekgasifier.com

Honda powered by waste biomass. The ALL Power Labs team installs a biomass gasification system - based on their Open Source Gasifier Experimenter's Kit - into the trunk of a Honda. The Honda now runs on 100% waste biomass - corn stalks, walnut shells, wood chips - etc. More information at www.AllPowerLabs.org - Full instructions for building your own at http://www.instructables.com/id/Convert_your_Honda_Accord_to_run_on_trash/

well in italy methane cannot be produced for autotraction, so i (we, because the methane implant for car is common) must use methane from petroleum, in germany they use methane produced from cows. i said about the steel lung because here methane is used at high pressure, then the pressure is reduced in the lung an then go into the carburator. in your case is not necessary, because the gasificator make the fuel in a good pressure. (sorry for my bad english :)

Thanks for the explanation. I'm not as familiar with Methane usage in cars. It is not a common practice in the US. It is wonderful to learn more about its usage in Europe. (And please don't worry about your English. You'll have to forgive me for my lack of Italian :)

it has the same sound of my car, but mine go with methane. Have you used a "steel lung" for making the pressure of the biomass fuel or it goes without any pressure?

[allpowerlabs]

There is no compression of the gas. How do you produce your Methane?

[mk0frosty]

flux capacitor* pardon :D

[allpowerlabs]

But of course! Power from Trash first, then time travel :)

@surelyujest71 I suspect that those vehicles had less powerful engines that needed less fuel.

[JoaoTheBR]

COOL! but not in my car..

How many rotten bananas to the mile?

Back to the future

[shattdbb]

Looks like something that rolled off a steam boat. Ever hear of an electric car? Lol

[jamespondy0]

How long till you get the flux capacitor working??

[contentlocked99]

i wanna mount one on my truck but im sure id just fuck it up... maybe when i get some extra cash ill buy a junker and convert it into a gasifier, compressed gas pellets or hemp chips or something idk i just hate spending money on petrol. this gives me hope lol

@surelyujest71 yah, i've been wondering that myself, part of the reason(maybe) is the downdraft gassifier technique is more efficient, but takes more space. i'm thinking, that most are not confident that completely removing the fuel tank, and putting a gassifier in its place would be wise, to have the ability to go back to gas when there's no wood available... my idea would be to replace the gas tank of a truck with a gassifier, and put the fuel hopper in the bed side, invisible installation.

[surelyujest71]

It looks pretty good. However... the WWII vehicles that had on, or in-vehicle wood/charcoal gasifiers had units small enough that they could be easily seen over/around. Some mounted to the front bumper, sticking out a couple extra feet. Some to the rear. and some even mounted inside the rear trunk, or "bonnet." VW made some that fit into the front storage, making the gasifier unit nearly invisible.

Why don't we ever see any gasifier units being made that really would fit a trunk, now?
