At some later date, I will post some more details about using syngas to power engines. However, in the meantime, you might find these few links interesting about the use of syngas as fuel for engines.
I remember my father, who was born in 1924, talking about how some enterprising farmers were using syngas during World War II to power engines, since gasoline was in short supply and being rationed.
Anyway, I’ll try to post some more information and links when I get the time. For now, try these links on for size:
Trash Crops to Cash Crops (published by Miller-McCune)
All Energies (a web site by a young enterprising couple and fellow contributors who have hands-on experience with syngas power)
And last but not least, here’s an interesting article published in the Jan. 2006 issue of Forest Products Journal (as a downloadable pdf) entitlted: Thermal Energy, Electricity, and Transportation Fuels from Wood. It was written by John I. Zerbe, a retired energy specialist, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis. Click here . . .
