How to run your engine on wood
Discover Wood Gas Generators — the emergency engineering solution that turns ordinary wood into combustible gas to power trucks, tractors, and generators when liquid fuel disappears. We break down the Oak Ridge National Laboratory / FEMA stratified downdraft gasifier design, the chemistry of gasification (turning biomass into hydrogen and carbon monoxide), how to build one using common materials like garbage cans and plumbing fittings, real-world performance, maintenance, safety protocols, and the critical physics that separate a working gasifier from a dangerous, smoky failure.
