Nowadays we see many crazy inventions, especially when it comes to car engines, people just do and invent some crazy ways to make an engine run.
And this time we have a guy who made his car run without using any kind of the usual fossil fuel, the only thing he needs is pieces of wood or. This guy is from Latvia and his car can run both on methane gas that is generated by the wood.
So basically he has a small trailer attached to his Audi 100 that carries a small stove that is connected with an exhaust pipe that goes on the side of the car leading to the engine.
This is maybe one of the most interesting inventions we have seen so far and if someone invests more money in this idea it might be very helpful for the world.
The method to drive gasoline engines on wood gas was very common for example in Sweden during World War II. it is a well proven technology, a bit tedious but it works.
So I would not say that it is neither new nor revulutionerande, technology to power cars are from 1930 and was in use until sometime in the early 1950s
little reading for anyone who is interested in this stuff.
