By the way Niya, I've been working on a project that'll convert keywords into color. Like "You may want to set up a Public Enum in that case..."

It's an interesting article. Probably impractical for me, though. Whenever it is cold, we have a strong inversion that makes anything that burns a bad idea. Therefore, at the time I could best use heat and electricity (I have an all electric house), I often can't even have a fire in the stove.Quote:

The "colonist" where stuck in a situation where they built a generator, but they where short on gasoline. Sure enough they built a successful wood gasifier and hooked it up to a generator.
I was interested in how people converted their gasoline cars to wood gas cars, and the way that they do it is connect the wood gasifier directly to the carburetor, bypassing the gas tank all together. The reason why they're forced to do this is because wood gas is in a gas state where as gasoline is in a liquefied state when stored in the gas tank. It's really cool.
It's actually possible to convert wood gas to a liquefied state, it's just the amount of energy required to convert it out weights the final product.
I've heard about the wood fired cars following WW II. It seems pretty neat. Of course, you'd then have to be discussing your mpc (miles per chord).
I would imagine those gassifiers are most efficient with the wood in small sizes rather than rounds. Sawdust may not allow sufficient air flow, though, so wood chips probably work best. Of course, this wouldn't change things very much: Friends would still be asked to chip in for gas.

I would have assumed that chips would maximize surface area, but sawdust would act more like a single solid. I've never tried it, though.
Though, of course, I was only setting up the pun.
Dum dum crash.
The heat has even caused Niya to retreat.

Both Niya and wittis have departed? How odd.
I particularly enjoyed reading about how you get your mates to wood chip in for fuel for your wood powered car Shaggy, that was pretty funny. =)
Yes. If they could, they wood, and if they wood, then they could.
How many logs to the mile do you think you would get? O.o
Miles per cord would be a more correct measure, though the cord is such a vague measure that Miles per pound would probably be better.
