Wayne Keith's 5th generation wood burning truck

Wayne Keith has built 5 trucks that run on wood. Each model is slightly more improved than the last. This V8 truck is the 5th generation has a series of vacuum gauges that provide information on performance of each part of the gasified. This truck gets about 1 mile per pound of wood. More information about the 3rd and 4th versions can be obtained at..www.ag.auburn.edu/agrn/bio-truck/

@xoxoXoieoxox Good opinion about the orange and blue flame. It tells if the gas is clean. Good thinking Batman.

Are these wood gas trucks for sale?

[chipjumper]

if it was my decision, I would put all the gauges up front on the windshield and then drive it like a locomotive with my head out the window

@KesslersCross wood gasifiers can be very tuchy geting it under the carb on a car u gona have to be creative but to pipe it into a generator just take off the carb and pipe the wood gas srait in ull have to make some kind of like y pipe with 2 valvs one lets in wood gas and the other let in air the mix needs to be like 1:1 i recomend that u make sur that the wood gas id flamable buy doing just a flare up if the flame is blue ur good if its orange u need more filters or beter reactor =3-

@xoxoXoieoxox Hmm, okay. How would I pipe the wood gas between the carb and the manifold? The plan was to just use the good gas but I didnt know if there would be compression issues or anything like that. I also want to build one to run a generator for my cabin but...once again, cant figure out how to make the thing run.

@KesslersCross ok hers kinda a tecnical ansuer ok u dont realy need the car if u just want to use wood gas but if u pipe the wood gas in betwen the carb and the manifold...sart on gas then let in the wood gas and taper off the fule one ur on wood gas the carb is nothing more than ur air regulator now regulate the wood gas to around 50\50 keep in mind stop and go dosent woork well with this sort of thing any more ??? just ask =3-
