Thank you!
I can’t take the credit for picking. To me all the puppies looked the same. Wife says hello and thanks.
Good evening fellow woodgasers,
I’m at 2235 miles on 99% wood since July. In fact I haven’t driven on dino at all since then, apart from startups and minimal hybriding. I’ve consumed maybe 3-4 gallons tops. Oh, maybe another 3-4 gallons for firewood gathering with old Fergie.
This is a typical drive. This time going to the store.
Apart from adjusting my air valve pulling woodgas to the engine leaving home during warm up, I didn’t touch it again. Not even leaving the parking lot at the store. Apart from lighting up and adding wood there is little difference from driving on gasoline - much cheaper of course 
Edit: And a lot more fun

Thank you for the early morning ride. Always enjoy it. How do you hold your camera while you are driving??? I have tried videoing while driving and if I posted it you would get “sea sick”.TomC

I just hold the phone in my hand. But yes, I could use a third hand from time to time. It gets a little shaky with a stick shift and all.

Wow I’m impressed with your gasifier and your skills on driving it Jan-Ola. Thanks for the drive with you. I’m curious too like Tom, you drive a standard shift how do you hold the camera so steady when driving. You have it down just like Wayne does. I love the highways just white stripes on the sides of the road, and nothing in the middle. It reminds me of the roads when I was young and watching my Dad drive.

Thanks for the video JO . It is amazing how well and un-noticed vehicles can run on wood !!
I sure wish I had knew about wood gasification 50 years ago 
Hello Mr. Bob .
Wayne can’t hold the camera steady anymore without bracing on something .

Very impressive video
I love it when I can see that it is a well working system being used for real world stuff
Not a show piece or hobby
I have never seen my rails go over 15" of water vacuum. Is your gauges in MM?
I noticed your gauge approach 40?

Nice ride JO. When the motor dies as soon as you shut the inlet air, and no smoke shows, it’s a good sign of a tight system. Your English is very good. Driving a WG Rabbit, filming, and translating in you mind all at the same time is enviable.

Thanks for the ride Jo, didn’t realize you all drove on the right side of the road!
Thanks for the ride JO. Seems like I was sitting right there with you. What makes that ratcheting noise at 2:45?
I want to be a man, but I can’t help feeling good about all these thumbs up from you old boys Thank you!
I’m sorry to disapoint you, but only small country roads are without the middle ones.
My setup gets noticed allright but smiles only. Most people over here know what’s going on.
They are in mbar. 100 mbar = 40" H2O
The 40 mbar in the video means 16" H2O.
This means needles move the same as yours ( If you have 40" guages)
Only England is consevative enough to stay left
Lot’s of noice in this vehicle. I think this was only something rolling on the dash. The camera picks up more than I hear.

JO, you make it look so easy. I cant tell you how impressed l am with your sistem. Simple but effective!
Did you notice any more power with cooler outdoor temps?
I allso have a question on your air/gas mixing. I cant find much info about it on the topic so culd you maybe say a few words about that and l hope l am not to pushy, a few pictures?

Actually the hardest parts are the filming and the talking. I don’t talk a lot even in my own language (my wife does that for me ) The rest is quite easy. Miss Rabbit and I get along just fine.
Kristijan,
Pictures tomorrow in daylight. No problem.
I can’t say I’ve seen any power difference due to outdoor cold temp.

By the way, I found a “meat thermometer” like yours. This after noon I am waiting for a call from a machine shop. I have been to Green Bay and around looking for metal to repair my hopper. Found a place that will order it for me and also roll me a cone for the bottom of the hopper and roll me a new cyclone. Unless the price is out of sight, I want to let them build the stuff for me. I watched on YouTube how to make cones/cylinders with out a “real” slip roller and I wanted to try it, but if the price is right I will save time, get a better job, and I would probably never use what I learned if I rolled them myself.TomC

Hi Jo
congratulations for your gasifier
you do not seem to have problems with the hybrid drive?
computer rabbit does not pose a problem?
you does not consider building a AutoMixer?

Hi Thierry,
I think this Rabbit has a very primitiv computer. I wouldn’t even call it a computer. It’s a lambda and a regulator that adjusts fuel pressure, nothing else. Lambda has to be warmed up of course, otherwise it’ll run very rich when hybriding.
I like to keep it simple. I feel no need for automixing. I don’t move my air valve a lot while driving.

I’m sorry to disappoint you but there’s really not much to tell about the air/gas mixing. Homemade valves/dampers inside pvc tubing. Air and gas meets in a Y.
The valve butterflies are made of a plastic paint can lid and pressed into slots in the bolts (shafts). Slots are made with a thin blade in the grinder. Rubber brackets on the ends of the bolts. Lawn mower cables for operating. Nothing fancy.
