[Vwdiesel] Gassing your Rabbit ? ---( copy Volvo )

[James Hansen]

The mill owner that I bought most of the wood for our house from has a 50's
ford truck with a wood gas generator in the back. He made it to show the
grandkids what they used in wartime to get around.  It apparently works VERY
well, he drives it in parades and stuff, and is set up for dual fuel-
gasoline or woodgas.  You can fire the truck up on gas, drive until the
generator is hot, then switch over.
It's basically an airtight wood stove that the heat goes through the
unburned wood shavings, chunks etc, and heats it to gasification.  Looks
much like this http://www.windward.org/notes/notes63/wal63_b.htm  design,
but a tad more potbelly stove-ish.  He can do 100km/hr with this setup very
nicely.  (link for those that can't read the instructions from the Jysk
store).  I'd like to do this like the volvo design in a little trailer
behind the wife's old Jetta just for kicks. Not enough hours in the day...

In my junc files I have a picture of a small Volvo car  ---about like a
Rabbit  --

Volvo designed a small trailer   (one wheel ? )   --- EPA would love it.

So would I --- ---  Hell I would give my left arm for one.(it is lame
anyway).

>From a cold start to go ?  ---30 seconds.       As you ALL know  CO is
considered a BLUE
flame gas.

Now you flyboys can use that excuse, sorry Sir she flamed out on me.

BUT ---you may have to carry FIRE insurance.

James Hansen has a perfect place for this type of Energy -----all that waste
from
farming ? .

By the way today I checked on Rimini 4 litre  Canola Oil ?    --way up in
price

from about 4.50    to    7.50.       Diesel on the street about a dollar
Canadian per Litre.

Took bunny Bondo out to strech her legs this morning ---NO shit  smoooooth
and she
likes that New  blockheater.----- got a small leak at the fueling
crew  ---comes
from cacking the crew out so much --- remember there is an O ring on it.

I have bigger O rings I can put on.


Hagar.

PS:   Links are for my American friends  so the can see a generator.  and
talk to a guy
who was involved a bit with running them.
