[AT] Woodburing Truck

[charlie hill]

Ray, the carburetor for a gasifier run engine
is simple.  All you need is a tee with the gas
coming in one leg and air coming in the other
with a ball valve on the air side so you can
adjust the flow.  The two combine and flow out
the side of the tee and into the intake right
through the now non functioning carb.  Get the
mix right and it will run.   The butterfly in the
original engine carb still controls throttle.

On the TV show Mountain Men Eustace powers his truck buy burning wood and 
pipe
the smoke to the engine. Does anyone know the principle behind this? What do 
you
have to do to the carburetor, or is it diesel? I was unaware that there was 
that much
energy left in the gases of a fire.

Growing up in Louisiana in the 50's 60's, when we came upon a vehicle 
smokeing
badly, someone would ask something like, What is he burning wood knots. I 
just
assumed they were jst being humerous, but now wondering if there is some
substance to it.
