Yes this guy is smart and he is talking a lot smarter than I am able to listen
I just know today I dumped some wood in the old work truck and drove about 40 miles mostly in some heavy traffic and had not a single vehicle to pass me . I did this before I heard the talk or read the stuff on his board
I guess my point is we don’t have to be able to know the fine points of what is happening as long as we know how to make it happen
Yes Mr wayne, l agree. I have been blessed to have shared more thain a few miles with you, fast ones too.
Yes, a smart man doesent overthink and overcomplicate things, if not nessesery. Unfortunaly in my case, it kinda is. You can fit 4 and a half of my Škoda engines in one of your Dakotas, while living on a mountain… now thats a woodgasers problem… whatever more hamster power l can harvest, make a difference. Huge difference.
Per instance. When l woodgased the Škoda with a stock engine, top speed was just about 40mph. Thats insufficiant. And it took quite some work and effort to hunt out enaugh hamsters for a sufficiant resault. Now l can get it up to 55-60, wich is sufficiant. Its understanding things like that in the video that contribute. And not to mention excelent expertees from members here
I got too study that vidio a little while, though higher compresson pistons would be my gess, too pick up extra HP. In the end you will most likely be much better at miles per pound of wood, So thats worth the extra effort, you must be getting about 1.5 or 2 miles per pound on your smaller 4 cyl cars.??
Also anything you can do to reduce pumping losses will allow you to put more power to the wheels…
By pumping losses I mean the effort to pull on the gas and filter plant, and to a lesser extent the energy expended to push spent gases out of the exhaust
Ha, that would be fun - a slovenian/swedish woodgas gang invading the states. Anyone know someone with a boat big enough for a couple woodgas vehicles + a few cords of wood?
Is there a bridge I’m not aware of?
On that note - in the 70s and 80s a US couple used to spend the summers in our village. Their VW Beetle with NY plates stayed put over here all these years and that way avoided swedish inspection. I don’t recall ever seeing US plates on the road ever since. Ferry trip with a vehicle across the pond probably cost s fortune.
I figured they could just run one of those ‘buying scrap cars and trucks’ and ‘pickup used metal for free’ ads on craigslist or marketplace. I don’t ever recall ‘road legal’ ever being mentioned.
