Building a woodgas generator is definitely on my to do list. The US Gov actually published instructions years ago on how to build one out of common materials, so farmers could run their tractors in the event of a gas shortage.

Но для твоего автомобиля на древесном газе, ограничение потока и увеличение обратного давления могут помочь ему работать как бензиновый двигатель. Я бы посоветовал поставить задвижку на выхлоп для регулировки потока. Вот несколько моментов к рассмотрению: Обратное давление: Увеличение обратного давления может имитировать характеристики выхлопной системы бензинового двигателя, возможно улучшив крутящий момент на низких оборотах и отзывчивость двигателя. Настройка выхлопа: Правильный баланс обратного давления может помочь в настройке выхлопной системы для лучшей эффективности сгорания при использовании древесного газа. Управление теплом: Двигатели на древесном газе могут работать прохладнее; больше обратного давления может помочь в нагреве выхлопа, улучшая сгорание. **Бросив большой кусок говядины в дровяную печь, можно наполнить ваш город уникальным запахом стейк-хауса."
