Man Demonstrates a Tax FREE wood burning car. Awesome VIDEO

they didn't go up hills very well.


still bit's of them all through the range round here from ww2.

How many quarts to the mile?

It seems like more of a novelty then ever being practical.

This technology has been in use for over 500 years. It's much more practical than walking. All the courthouses & homes in the Midwest were transported to their current locations via steam locomotive or steamwheeler paddle ships.

The Amish still use steam engines engines to run all the tools they use to craft furniture and tools.

The first blimps (airships) used this technology to fly people around since the 1600's.

Yes, the technology is well established but wood burners are highly frowned upon even though if the same effort was put into cleaning these up that's been put into gas & oil burners they could be at least as environmentally friendly.

FWIW, I recall reading about coal burning 5 ton trucks built to run on the same principle but with coal in post WWII eastern Russia.

yeah i can see it more practical then "walking".

you lot do know these are "gas producers" and not steam, right?
The combustion is anerobic, which means that the wood chars as opposed to being fully combusted, the secondary combustion occurs in the engine, via the carburettor.
Just as long as you know.

North Korea still uses wood gas lol...

In Sweden in WW2 they had them as well.
Quite awesome.
