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..."

Check this out.

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.

The reason why I've started doing some research on the subject is from the TV show Colonies. A man on there was living in a European country and he said that the grandparents that he was living with mentioned that after the second world war, they where forced to convert their gasoline cars to wood gas cars. 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).

**Shaggy Hiker** · Jun 28th, 2013, 11:12 AM

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.

Haha!

You actually don't want any air. When air is mixed with the wood gas, it 'dirties' it up. Making a nasty tar like substance after the gas is burnt.

**Shaggy Hiker** · Jun 28th, 2013, 01:32 PM

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.

**Shaggy Hiker** · Jun 28th, 2013, 01:33 PM

Though, of course, I was only setting up the pun.

**dday9** · Jun 28th, 2013, 01:50 PM

Dum dum crash.

**Shaggy Hiker** · Jun 28th, 2013, 04:33 PM

The heat has even caused Niya to retreat.

Both Niya and wittis have departed? How odd.

**Witis** · Jun 29th, 2013, 12:06 PM

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. =)

**Shaggy Hiker** · Jun 29th, 2013, 02:47 PM

Yes. If they could, they wood, and if they wood, then they could.

**Witis** · Jun 29th, 2013, 03:39 PM

How many logs to the mile do you think you would get? O.o

**Shaggy Hiker** · Jun 29th, 2013, 05:01 PM

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.
