How about 10,000 mules pulling a Ratte along the battlefield?

My grandmother told me of a relative who after having his legs frozen during the Winter War was being transported to a hospital using one of these wood powered cars He was residing in the back of the car with a few other injured men when the driver stops at a service station or something alike and asks if the men at back want some coffee, after hearing no response he figures that they don't want anything and goes off for some coffee. When he comes back he finds out that all the men in the back have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Later it was found out that there was some kind of leak from the motor to the passenger compartments.

Too heavy for the amount of energy produced. This is roughly the same problem conceptually that battery powered electric aircraft currently have. It is technically feasible to run an aircraft off electric motors, but the energy density per unit mass of even the best batteries we currently have is... Terrible. Like, jet fuel has about 100 times the energy per unit of mass as current batteries. And when you're talking about something that uses as much energy as an aircraft does, that's huge. Plus, this difference is made even larger by the logistics. - batteries weigh roughly the same whether full or empty. While as you burn more of your fuel, your aircraft gets lighter. (and given, say, an airliner with a total weight of about 135 tonnes empty but with an additional 94 tonnes of fuel, that's a substantial weight change), this means that over long distances due to the loss of the fuel mass your expected range is actually larger than you would otherwise expect... You can see where electric aircraft design has quite a few pitfalls, even if on a technical level the basic concept is actually pretty straightforward. Now, wood powered aircraft using a gassifier don't really have the second issue, but even so the weight relative to the energy produced would be far too high.

He said they were still using this process when he was in the Navy during the Korean war. He was sent to Europe during the Korean war. Mostly blowing his pay check in Monticarlo. He was a crap card player lol. But he said that some of the French farmers were still using tractors and trucks set up like this. He was in the Pacific in WW2 on a hospital ship. He said when they went to Guam and Sipan after the fighting the Japanese trucks and cars that still worked were put together with all manner of parts. Even using bamboo for gas and air hoses. They even found a truck with bamboo tires. People can be very creative when they have no other choice for parts.

Town gas, in the UK at least, was gas made from coal and was made in local plants in towns an cities across the UK before we discovered north sea gas. When north sea gas came on stream in the early 70's gas appliances needed to be modified to use north sea gas as it had a much higher calorific content to town gas. I remember them coming round to our house to do our fires and cooker, when you lit the gas while it was still set up for town gas the flame was massive.

The wood gasifier system was invented by a German engineer in 1920 so people could use more affordable fuels (wood, coal, peat) for their vehicles and farm equipment. Those were made by companies in every European country with Porche being the main manufacturer thru WW2. The French car manufacturer Panhard sold very stylish trailers painted the same as the purchased vehicles that held a gas generator plus a load of wood chunks for refueling. They even had small units for use on motorcycles. Some hung off the bike and others were fitted to sidecars. The German Army used those on transport vehicles behind the front lines and on railroad switch engines that used electric drives. All vehicles that used a gasifier was required to use gasoline to start their motor before it be switched over to wood gas.

We all love hearing about this technology but if you think about it, we were running powerful locomotive trains on wood/coal decades before this. It seems as though once society gets a new fuel/technology we forget about the previous technology we had used. I realize the trains were steam engines but the power that they generated was amazing.

So if this was in war thunder, there would be less fuel fires due to your fuel being shredded by the shell upon impact. But there would be more fires due to wood's nature of being flammable and the gas. Seems equal to normal fuel :/

I wonder what efficiency you could reach with wood if you had a standard steam engine but the firebox was modified to leave the gaseous hydrocarbons unburnt and pumped off to the gasifier assembly...you could theoretically wrap the internal combustion part with another water jacket in line with the main firebox boiler to further increase efficient scavenging while simultaneously cooling the engine... the steamer crankcase would just be directly attached to the gasifier engine crankcase to get a really efficient energy output(for wood atleast) for the outboard dynamo...

Interesting. The gas could then be used to help fire the boiler making the whole thing more efficient and less environmentally harmful. The efficiency of steam itself can't be denied. I don't know if you're familiar with a Rainbow vacuum cleaner but one (the technology and size for this purpose) in the final exhaust phase might solve all the air pollution issues. The resulting small amount of very nasty water might have other uses of it's own. A natural preservative for example.

Have you seen the size of Russia and all the wood they have. It would take a rather long time to use it all up. It took a damn long time to cut down all. It took hundreds of years for the English to cut down all their trees. And even then we still have some large forests. To cut down everything in Russia we are talking 1000's of years and in that time all the trees would have grown back 10 fold. As long as we put back all the ash and nutrients back where the trees grew in the first place it's virtually unlimited. The only problem is we on cut down trees from a limited amount of forests rather then taking small amounts from all of them and then re-planting what you took. We should plant 4 trees or more for every tree we take that way it's sustainable. My father does this for a living and it's extremely sustainable if you put the planning and work in. The problem is no one wants to plan things hundreds or thousands of years in advance because they personally won't see any results. My father has planted trees that he will never see become big enough to warrant cutting them down.

Very specialized coal in a complicated system. As the wiki puts it: " The coal was to take the form of small granules instead of irregular lumps, to produce a controlled and even burn, and the basket was altered to a mesh drum revolving on a vertical axis at 60 rpm. A jet of flame from tanks of bottled gas would fire into the basket once the P.13a had reached operating speed (above 320 km/h), whether by using a rocket to assist takeoff or by being towed." "Virtually unlimited" so long as you have the facilities to process it. And as for your "Size of russia" and "All the wood they have", you do know that they cannot use all of it anyway, right? They have to preserve a LOT of that, with total consumption of the forests being the equivalent of fratricide.

The reason why is probably because of the wood gas isn't liquid, like gasoline. It's literally gas.

Add this into War Thunder

My Grandpa was Luftwaffe truckdriver with a woodgas generator, notified in his military passport, drove his truck thousands of miles through east Europe. Every 100km he had to clean out and put new wood in the generator. But the wood was not just thrown inside, chopped into flat pieces and with Lay-out put inside for best burning results. He had the highest class of drivers badge with gold cord around, never had an accident, just one time got hit by the sealring of wheel rim as changed tyre. Drove it even some weeks after capitulation as he and his unit were in an area where US Forces did not want to go and let the Wehrmacht units do their own protection and supply.

Not surprising really. The Germans were the masters of all gas related stuff during ww2 after all. But on a more serious note its a genius idea. Especially if there is a major fuel shortage. Running a wood powered electrical generator is pretty handy in that situations.

Germany doesn't have oil but it does have large coal reserves. They had no shortage of power until the allied bombings because all their powerplants were coal powered. They also had massive facilities to transfer coal into synthetic gasoline. However all the synthetic fuel was for the military. Why would they have a wood powered electrical generator rather than a coal powered one? The problem with coal though is that it's almost pure carbon with very little hydrogen in it which means it burns slow and with a lot of sut is unsuitable for internal combustion engines.

Every 50 to 100 hours, I unscrew the base cap, and dump out the accumulated charcoal from below the grate. At about the same interval, I clean out the filters, and the cooling system.

Sekrit dokuments prove that russians were running tanks on this since day one of russian bias. The primary purpose of logs on their tanks was to be used as fuel. :D (The secondary purpose was getting out of mud and this is true.)

It’s awesome, I would love to have a car fueled with wood !

The oil is running out so we could see this technology returning as an alternative to electric vehicles.

You're right - I've never heard about wood fired vehicles/engines until I found your channel.

The amish would like their wood tank bank

But would the engine have enough power to actually be a tank engine torque wise ?

the engine was pretty much the same i'd guess. it's like running your car on car gas, except you have to make that car gas on the go, hence the extra equipment. maybe the tank went slower because of the extra equipment, but that should be pretty much it.

Mats Johansson i think the power is half compared to original. it works in cars but preferrably the engine needs to be big enough so it has power to move with wood gas.

Some claim you loose 40% some say "more then half", we actually have a woodgas car but the power isn't measured. The Opel at 0:40 is running on 66% power compared to gasoline and i believe you can get more with modern technology. The power you get also depends on what wood you are burning, how moist it is and to some degree how you prepare it.

Well we're talking about the temperature of the wood ITSELf burning, rather than the temperature required to gasify it. The moisture would most certainly make it burn at a lower temperature than if it were to be dry.

My grandfather was a flight engineer in WW2 over Europe. He told me that in France he saw taxi cabs running by burning wood on trailers behind them. At 12 years old, I found this very believable. But as I got older and learned about IC engines, I came to wonder how that worked, and found it very hard to believe. Never remembered to / got a chance to ask him, but this video answered that question I've had for years!!! Thank you so much!!

For clarity my point is this is just one of many ways to not be dependent on foreign oil that actualy cost a lot lot lot more than just the money wich are bad enough especialy when combined with complete loss of control of the country and total domination by whomever controls the oil...stoping the oil for a month during winter 70-90% of population may very well be dead in a lot of places...just one example.

I've been meaning to watch this video for ages. I kept waiting because I'm quite deaf these days and it can be hard for me to take in videos that talk about technical things, especially if there isn't a face to lip read from. I really enjoyed it though. I was lucky enough to see a WW2 homeguard 'ambulance' ( I use the term loosely! lol ) that had been converted to run on coal at a vintage vehicle show a few years ago. It was really interesting to learn how it was possible to power an engine with wood. It was easier to understand than I thought it would be! Very enjoyable bit of historic learning. Thank you.

No, no - don't you worry about that. I can manage if I concentrate and keep my good ear near my computer speakers or TV speakers, and I'd much rather you spent your time making more videos about rare stuff and interesting prototypes. Unless I'm watching a film or something with a complicated story I don't really use subtitles, because they take my attention away from what is actually on the screen visually. I've never struggled very much with your videos - I just make sure it's not too late and turn them up very loud. I hope you didn't think I was complaining! All is good! I've been subscribed for a good while now - if I couldn't follow them I wouldn't be! Thanks for the knowledge you share, the entertainment and the research you do. It is VERY much appreciated. :-) And mostly - thanks for trying to help a bloke who has only himself to blame for ruining his hearing with years of loud concerts, festivals and standing next to HUGE speakers at gigs! Keep doing what you're doing. All the best fella. :-)

Hi, I lked the video. Maybe because I'm a little older or maybe I like odd sorts of things like this, that I knew about gasifiers prior to seeing your video. You did a very nice job of laying out the info. I off to check your tank videos.

There are a lot of types of engines. The thing is oil is more convenient because it has higher energy per unit volume than many other fuels and doesn't require a laborious process for the end user. By the way, can you guess which industries are currently experimenting a lot in finding other ways to run cars? The oil and car industry. Elon Musk's Teslas have shown that electric is not a viable solution currently due to the fact that lithium production cannot meet the demand for lithium-ion batteries. (There is development on batteries that don't rely on lithium, but have similar qualities, but as far as I know they are not gonna come soon.) Therefore some companies have been developing cars that run on hydrogen gas. The main problem with hydrogen has, however, is that it is generated through electrolysis of water. This requires electricity and as you probably realize, currently most countries rely on gas, coal and oil for base load electricity generation. This means that for hydrogen to be a viable fuel source for cars and such you'd need to generate electricity through methods that aren't fossil fuels. Fission is currently a good choice, but the prohibitive initial cost coupled with the public perception means a lot of western countries are shutting down their nuclear power stations and/or not building new ones. The next possible solution is the umbrella of renewable energy sources (sun, wind, biomass, geothermal, tide, wave, hydro etc.). However most of these have issues that make the unsuitable for base load generation. (unreliability for sun power and relatively low capacity for hydro for example) There are examples such as the island of Eigg that rely almost entirely on renewable energy, but those are relatively small communities and the solution is often quite specific. I've just noticed that I've written a bit of a wall of text, so I'm gonna stop rambling now.

I recommend watching Illinois EnergyProf's video "Coal: Who has it, wants it and uses it" Discusses gasification as well as some other interesting coal energy history and technology

The hose running along the top was most likley to reduce the chance of condensation building up before it reaches the tank under the radiator,or at the very least allowing it to drain into it gravitationally

An electric car recharged with a home based wood powered powerplant seems more efficient in this modern era.

If memory serves me right, the brothers had no idea but didn't seem to rule it out as possible. It's great all these years later to pull that memory out of nowhere watching this and have an answer for that question.

Air raid sirens. Hans start the tank! Sarts fire in the gassifier chamber.

This video is awesome. I didn't kow anything about this energy source. Thank you.

The car that had the sheet metal tube for the wood gas going over the cab took advantage also of the cool air blowing over the cab before it went into the radiator to cool further.

Wow. Thank you a lot. Had no idea about this until you enlightened me.

I think it was awesome a very useful piece of information I think it's totally spectacular that you can make it small enough to run generator I think I'll try it myself.

This kind of häkäpönttö/häkäpytty (=wood gasifier) equipment was used in Finland too, during WW II, at least in cars. I bet they were handy right after the war too, when many resources were scarce here.

thanks! Very interesting. I was unaware of this technology, which means if it all goes up, we will have a rudimentary source of energy.....

My grandfather had a gas bag on top of his car! He filled it with town gas and it had a flat weight on top to keep up the pressure.

You said, at 4:20, " gases are drawn thru, with help from a blower, ... to the carburetor". The schematic shows the blower does NOT blow into the carburetor. The blower is used to start the gasifier, then you can start the engine which will draw in the fuel. The blower is then shut off. I hope that helps. Great video! Thank you.

Everybody gangsta until granny stove starts marching

Very interesting. Good job on the video.

I know it's an old video but I thought I'd attempt to answer the question about why the exhaust isn't the smokey mess you might think it would be: Wood gas, after the water and tar are condensed out, is made up of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and small amounts of methane for combustable gases along with whatever small amounts of tar don't get condensed out along with CO2 + nitrogen from the air used to initially combust the fuel. All of those gases (except for the small amount of tars) are invisible. Normally soot or smoke is unburned fuel along with small particulates. In the case of wood gas that is properly cleaned all or most of the wood gas wasn't visible in the first place so even unburned fuel largely won't be visible anyway.

"Any carbon based material can be used as fuel" Nazi Death Camps: "dammit!"

I can't remember the specific TV Program, but there was a series of a family trying to lower their overall energy usage and the teenage son was wanting to drive a truck (something about dates with girls...) They set up a gassifier on a '70s or 80' vintage truck and fueled it with dried Horse manure. The point being that the gas production system will work with a wide variety of dried organic material.
