This is but one future option. It makes wood gas and runs a generator, all in one unit.
Apparently it is a functional prototype only at this moment in time, the website says that it is “Patentable and will be updated soon”.
There are a lot of people working to perfect Bio Gas Generating units that can be installed on your property that transforms wood scraps, and household wastes into a burnable gas that can be used to run a small generator to keep a battery bank charged up.
For those who don’t live in Sunny climates and can’t use Solar Power reliably.
Wood Gas Generators have been around a long time and have been proven to work.
They can be made to power vehicles and have been used all over the world since WWII.
Smaller units have been designed and have been used to power modern gas engines in small trucks also.
There are even “Micro Wood Chip Gasifiers’ being built that can be used to power small engines, gas grills and cook stoves.
This one has me very, very intrigued.
This guy Mike Reynolds solved the problem I kept seeing of how to generate air flow without having to use some kind of electric air compressor or hair dryer.
He used a smog pump run by a belt off the crankshaft after the thing gets going.
Skip to 5:50 in this video to see it working.
There are some creative people out there and the internet is making sure that the current crop of wannabe tyrants who are deliberately trying to destroy our way of life and our economic systems so they can reduce our standard of living to one notch above slave are going to have to rethink their plans.
You may not be able to commute fifty miles one way back and forth to work easily or take a pleasure drive like in the old days but with some of these gasifiers in various sizes at your disposal you would be able to generate some electricity, work a garden, haul groceries once in a while and take care of a small farm.
All using wood chips leaves and branches or wood pellets.
That may not be quite so viable in Fly Over Land or the South West part of this country but I guarantee you it would be more than doable above most of the 45th Parallel .
Anywhere there is an abundant supply of burnable Bio Waste actually.
However, those are plans for an “Emergency Use” unit and have been proven to be problematic because of the tar it also generates that tends to foul engines.
I would instead direct you to this website that has a plethora of alternative plans and resources.
Some people are pretty ingenious.
As the saying goes, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
There is also another driving force behind the resistance to this tyranny of late.
A very powerful motivator.
Some of us just wanted to be left alone.
The people who think they can run the entire planet just because they were born into a certain family or have access to unlimited funds are going to learn the same lesson every tyrant in history has learned, the hard way.
Being a tyrant is a fatal condition.
yup. cheap electric power is what got this country going back in the 1930-40
well, that and the war. my dad told something I never forgot.
inside of 50 years we went from the horse and buggy to the damn moon.
because of the wide spread use of electric power.
the unit they show in the vid looks like one I would love to get.
wood chips and just junk wood is all around here. a almost free source of fuel.
you just have to do a little work too get it. lots of waterways around here as well.
I always had a thing for watermills myself.
but really, what have they done to upgrade the power grid ?
I mean beside patching it up when needed.
just about every other home up here has it’s own genset for when the power goes out. winter storms, drunk drivers, whatever. it happens a couple of times each winter around here.
This is very interesting and very doable here for me . I have so much wood I could never burn it all . And I would love to poke the globalists in the eye .
Have 11 kw of rooftop solar. Installed 3 months ago. Already generated 2.6 Mwh. Also have a battery back up of 16000 kwh. I could afford it and it Northern Texas.
There is an shit ton of oil in our two countries already capped and waiting to be used. Gasifiers are great, but what happens when the bio fuel gets used up? Fuck these climatard tyrants…they must be forced to walk the talk before we as an society even consider to go back in time. I WANT MY WELL TUNED BIG BLOCK! The turdohs, gretas, obomber, bidets and the rest need to be ‘tuned’ up. Bunch of greasy queefs!
Many times being a tyrant is not fatal, but it should be.
Seen at the bottom of the main page: Host: Bustednuckles, Phil; Sub Host: Cederq, Kevin,
I bet that doesn’t mean “submissive.”
I am only submissive in that Phil owns the blog and has final say so and I respect that. Other then that I have free run and I push limits and buttons. So far Phil hasn’t axed any of my submissions, which I am sure he has shaken his head on too many numerous occasions. I wished he would fire me, but hasn’t and refuses to do so….
So you can’t get fired???
I have said for a long time people need to decentralize their energy generation. Residential energy generation makes you much more independent. At least until the jackbooted thugs visit you at 3 am and kill you.
The link for the FEMA gasifier AND the “Build A Gasifier.com.” are the same link.

Which?
There is a link to the FEMA plans at Gasifier.com.
Above the 45th parallel? Well, OK. The Yankees, Canucks, and Euroweenies can use them.
Around here, hitch up the mule.
One word for ya Budd,
Hickory.
Thanks for the info! I’m definitely looking into this after I get my spit jack spinning my wind turbine to power my battery bank.
I’ve seen it here and there and while I didn’t want to believe it was true, I now accept it as the supplement to the golden rule: No one is coming to save us, it’s every man/community for itself….
Fascinating stuff, Phil, and white it’s a serious subject, I can’t help being reminded of that old British TV comedy “The Good Life”, about an executive throwing a stressful life and he and the wife converting their suburban block into a small farm and going off-grid, growing veggies, raising pigs and using what pigs naturally generate as a source of methane to generate electricity.
It was popular, running for several years and many repeat seasons. Which brings us to the idea of producing methane to run most any internal combustion engine, the least high-tech the better, to power transport or generate power for home use.
Your readers themselves could likely provide their household with the basic ingredient needed in production of methane as fuel.
I reckon that if you fed up Cederq with enough baked beans, then AOC would have another target to complain about regarding methane generation, besides poor old Flossie the cow.
Myself, I’ve cooked up a big pot of split-pea, onion and bacon (better tasting in soup than ham) soup, yummy; I’ll give that Commie airhead bitch real reason to whine!
my grandfather used pigs in a different way than most. he used to fence in a hillside (eastern ky.) and let them eat everything. and they did too. after a year or so, he move them to another spot to clear out.
this was how he made the hillside into pasture land.
sometimes it took 2 years or so, depending on the land.
but his bacon was always nice and lean. tasted great too.
although he liked ham with his eggs most of the time.
my one uncle raised his pigs for lard. didn’t care much for his bacon. but then he sold his hogs/pigs to town compared to grandpa who raised his for meat for the house.
he did sell some beef though. funny the things you remember some times. and that was a long time ago now.
I saw a wood gas powered pickup truck 30 years ago when I was in CO. I was a business trip that extended over a weekend. We stopped at a diner somewhere up in the front range for breakfast. Parked in the lot was the truck. The owner was stoking the fire so that he could be on his way. Stopped to talk to him and he explained how it worked. Fascinating stuff.
Hard to believe over 15 years ago I was joking about needing a plow and a mule but my spidey sense was talking to me just could not convince me it would become true.
