  • Screw the oil companies !!!. HECK peace out from the 80's kid.

  • @Tokopol It's really just another healthy outcome from US trade sanctions

  • In order to power that thing you'd need 1.21 jigawatts.

  • Where are the groceries going to go?

  • @Tokopol There are others that claim 1 lb wood to go 1 to 1.25 miles in there converted trucks as I have found here on youtube.

  • @makun16 Yep. The Japanese did it around the end of WWII and the North Koreans do it today. It takes several pounds of wood chips to go a few miles so it's more of a last-resort thing than a real alternative to gas.

    As evidence, North Koreans have been rigging vehicles to run on wood gas since the USSR fell and they lost their fuel subsidies. Consequently, a huge amount of the countryside has been stripped of forests.

  • we're gonna be needing this again sooner than later i think....

  • Cool but this is nothing new. The tech has been around for over 100 years.
