[AT] OT Gasifiers

[charliehill]

The only way I would want use a gasifier to run a car or tractor would be 
the same as it was used in the war, in an emergency.   My thoughts on using 
gasifiers are just as you mention Mattias, to use some waste biomass to run 
a generator or to more efficiently produce heat.
