The Beaver Energy Wood Powered Car points us towards a future where things huff and puff, while moving significantly slower than they do now. Sound good? Then pop along and buy some Wood-Gas Blueprints for $15.00 and convert your own vehicle. Toot-toot.
[Update: ooh look, a Swedish version. Thanks Peter!]
Assemble this wood gas generator from recycled water heaters. Convert an internal combustion engine (100-cubic-inch or greater displacement) into your own home energy system or use the generator to run a truck. This blueprint include materials list, step-by-step instructions and black-and-white photos. Advanced mechanical and metalworking skills recommended.
