plans to build woodgas system for cars and traktors

Here is some more information on wood gasification-

The wood gas process uses limited amounts of combustion air in a sealed chamber so the wood only partially combusts. The wood gives off gas but does not have the adequate amounts of air to fully burn. The syn-gas is then piped into a diesel engine where the un-burned gas is used in the combustion process.

There are some issues with getting the off gasses clean enough because of fly ash in the  gas.

Not correct Slipmatwax, woodgas cannot be used in a Diesel engine, it needs spark ignition.

There were hundreds of thousands of vehicles fitted with woodgas generators during and just after the war because petrol was scarce. Here is a picture of such a generator fitted to an Opel sedan (about 1944)

Hi All,

Here is a AKA "Lego Gasifier" a biomass Gasifier Experimenters Kit with excellent gallery photographs of the construction -

Hi All,

Here are some YouTube videos on vehicle "gasifier units" -

It will be really helpful if you get success in this experiment we will able to run tractors for cultivation with this woodgas. That really good idea to run tractors with woodgas.
