"Feature-length" video of my pre-WK woodgas R&D

Here is an old video I found. It’s about my two trucks before the Dakota project. It’s kind of fun, shows the insides of a few gasifiers and other crazy things. Runs about 30 minutes. Sit back and enjoy.

That was a fun ride along. Really like the windmill. Did you build that too?

Thanks Andy. Yeah I built it with a little help. Now my wife and I live in it. Little house. Easy on wood.

Thanks Dick. The music is Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. We love the dog, too!
Life and Woodgas are such a journey!

Hey Wayne! Its been a great ride so far. Woodgas has really changed my life. And all those windmills didnt hurt anything…
I feel a real brotherhood, though weve never met. Technically.

Wow John!
When did you start building gasifiers? Where did you get your info at the time? I feel so fortunate stumbling into Wayne’s World right away.
The music and the parts in the video showing you constantly processing wood really gave me a sense of your determination as well as excitement as you were learning. It showed me there’s a lot of hard work + learning = rewards.
Thanks again
