Electric guitar powered by wood. I have never seen anything cooler!

I do like the pup and the wood powered electric guitar!!! Neat stuff !

[oldfarmer]

So…you can use fuel from the gasifier to run the chipper, to make wood chips, to burn in the gasifier, to run an engine, to make electricity, so you can play the electric guitar. Better crank up the volume. I couldn’t hardly hear it! That’s awesome!

Great stuff - looks very compact the unit on the Deer...was wondering where the burner basket is located- is it in the middle or down near the bottom? I see the gas outlet is right below the middle section. Cheers

all the demos I've seen show engines running with no load. how well do these setups do when you really start working them?

[melodymakerSD]

My only issue on the mower is the cooling area seems small or may be tough to get air through it to cool sometimes. I guess it depends on the climate.

Does the uy who powered the John Deer have a video of the building of his gasifier?

[suoppsdn]

That's how it usually works. It will run every time until you have on lookers then it wants to act like an asshole

[FrankensteinDIYkayak]

I'd love to get one. please post manufacture info or info on buying. were you going to work with others to make them?

[johnmark]

Did NOT see the 'clean blue' flame required to run the engine on the John Deere? Nor did we see it start. Nor did we see it die when the supposed 'wood gas' supply handle is turned off??

[eduardodaquiljr]

Why woodgad can't be stored so engine has available fuel at any moment specially during engine starting?

[cellpro]

Hi, I need a small gassifier like that one. Where can I buy one.

When will this be available in California?!😂

[josehofmayr]

Hello, very good video I would like to know if you could pass me the plans of the gasifier I want to make one to install in the house of my parents ... since in that area do not have electricity or heating. Thank you

[Zach-sguu]

Someone should sheath the pipes in beautiful polished aluminum!!

[stevenmorris]

Must use a genset with twice the output of what you really need. That would probably throw you into a 12 volt battery for starting.

Where is that clean blue gas you need to run an engine with?
