Here's more on wood gas, cooking mostly but leads to vehicle
history, always remembering in back of mind the WWII clips with
taxis and wood stove on back or top durring rationing days
and old movie When the World Stood Still and everything else was
shut down.

My neighbor was stationed in Japan 1945 to 1947.
Many of the delivery type veheciles were, as he describes, "charcoal powered",
And he says he dosen't mean steam powered.

my father was in japan right at the end of the war.
He got a chance to look at one.
It used rice straw.
It was set up just like NTL's charcoal maker.
Rice straw cooking rice straw,pipe coming out of the top going straight to the intake.Gas was controled by the size of the fire.ie come to a hill add more straw to the fire,oh it was a delivery truck.
