Is THIS The PERFECT Generator For The Next Two Or Three Years??

[CADplans]

No gasoline, needed, so no ethanol to ruin the carb,,
HECK, NO CARB!!

You may need to get an AXE for your grandson for Christmas,,
so that he can keep the generator fueled,,

All I Gotta To Do is wrap this one up, so my grandson can get started building a firewood inventory,,

The only thing I do not like is that NO WELDING is required,,

I can not remember the last project that I did that did not need welding,,,

Do you think I can get it running by 01/01/2022 ??



Before I start, what would YOU change to make this more functional, ,, or,, more FUN!! ??

Maybe,, I should make it a little larger, so that it can be mounted in the pickup bed,
then, at least, I will be able to STILL drive to the grocery store,,

Here is a guy that has done this in moder times, in ww2 this was very common as it was no gas to be bought for ordinary people.

On a car it is a bit more hard to place

How to make it with a wood chip burner and automate it?

I guess the FIRST thing to do is make it power a WOOD CHIPPER, so, it could feed itself,,
or OTOH,, "simply" buy wood pellets,,, at TSC,,,

I think "Useless" on the show Mountain Men uses one of these contraptions.

Pretty cool!

Several years ago, while fueling up the pickup, a guy pulled in with one of those wood gasification rigs in the back of his pickup. I asked all kinds of questions, he used gasoline to start the truck, then switched it over to the gas from the wood powered converter. He just did it as a hobby type thing. I don't think he used pellets, because all i saw in the bed of the truck was small chunks of wood. Can't remember much of the conversation, unfortunately.

Pretty facinating. During WWII Germany also had a process to convert Coal into basically deisel fuel for their war machine. I do not think it was this process.
