You know in some ways and I think others would agree, the v10 really is a tractor on gas ,
they love to get down low and grunt just like a tractor

With all that torqe, that v10 dodge must be the next best thing too a diesel engine, though in our case it works out better on wood fuel than diesel. Well anyway,thanks for the v10 hill climb ride.

I wanted to video something but could think of nothing to film so I turned the camera on just a minute or two as I drove through the village.
Drove the v-10 this morning and decided to drive the v-10 this afternoon because it was already warmed up. I didn’t get to driving the Sunday truck today

Thanks for the cruising Mr Wayne . It sounds like a sewing machine.

I have never seen a woodgas powered sewing machine!
I actually never thought about a gas engine powering one, but apparently in the 1880s the Bisschop engine was a small engine (measured in manpower not horsepower) that was used to power sewing machines. I believe gas in this case refers to natural gas.

Sorry for the double, I forgot to say I found this while looking for a woodgas powered sewing machine. Some might find it interesting.

I looked through this. It made my head hurt. Nothing like charts and graphs to further mushify a weak brain.

The less vacuum and sucking the motor has to apply to the gasifier the better the motor can breathe which means more power .
Here I show cruising at hyway speed with the motor pulling 10 inches of water ( the gauge is measuring from the motor side of the hay filter ) . The other vacuum gauge is measuring 5 inches vacuum in the cooling rails near the center post . Between the two gauges the gas runs through the cooling rails , condensate tank under the truck , piping to the hay filter and through the hay .
It seems I have the best results when the gasifier is producing with a minimum amount of draft on it .
One gauge is a 0-60 scale and the other 0-30 scale .
May have to fire my camera man , too much shaking going on
