Re: Wood-Fired Steam Engine to Drive Generator? Rather than steam, check out wood gasification.

I saw someone run a generator like this on one of those prepper shows. They didn't explain it though. The gasifier seems pretty simple to make. I wonder what kind of modifications you would need to make to the generator though. |

Farmington, MI | That's pretty much spelled out in the DOE document I linked to, above. They ran a 35 HP gas-engine tractor with a "mobile" unit and explain all the construction and other details. |

Thank you. That is pretty interesting. Hmm, I wonder if Kudzu with it's woody steam would be good for this, as fuel.
