Dear Tom Miles and all WWII gasification converted all the fuel into a low quality (150Btu/scf) gas that required considerable cleanup. Before use in engines.
Now that we recognize the value of biochar as O. A soil amendment O. Reducing global warming a second option is more attractive. In the TLUD stove and larger (eg 33 gal garbage can) only the cellulose burns, giving a cleaner gas C6H10O5 + 1/2 O2 ===> 6O + 5 H2 Plus. biochar for addition to the soil. Comments???
