Dear eBay customer,
I think all of us have wondered a time or two what would happen if the modern conveniences we all take for granted suddenly went away, how would we be able to survive if suddenly we had no more electricity or gasoline?
A hurricane Andrew or Katrina or a major earthquake somewhere in the world can suddenly make us aware of how fragile our modern life really is.
Think for a moment, what if there was no electric power grid or what if there was no more gasoline, how would you get by?
It is not as crazy as it sounds.
Stuff happens.
This booklet is a wonderful tool that shows you in a detailed and thorough manner how to make a simple Wood Gas Generator you can power a gas engine with. The booklet is fully illustrated and has many tables and graphs.
If you are the least bit handy with tools or mechanically inclined you can put together your own wood gas generator using commonly found items using the clear and detailed info in this booklet.
Once finished, you can use the wood gas generator to power your car, truck, tractor or even a boat so long as it uses a gasoline engine. The gas generator described in the book was used to power a small tractor but the design is easily enlarged or made smaller to fit your power needs.
The basic design of wood gas generators has been around since the First world war and has made a re appearance during every fuel crisis all over the world. The design shown is a modern and improved design and was popular in the fuel crisis of the late seventies.
If you have access to basic tools and a reliable source of fire wood, (or even corn cobs or coconut husks), you needn't worry about the next gas shortage if you have the information in this booklet. I want to emphasize that all the parts in this design are made from easily obtained vcommonly found materials.
The booklet is in an ebook format and comes with a 30 money back guarantee if you are unhappy for any reason. There is no risk to buy it, and if there should be a gas shortage or in the future you will be able to move your family anywhere you want to and to continue to operate machinery as others are idled as long as you have access to wood.
I think this tried and tested information could be very handy.

How to Run Your Car, Truck, Tractor or Boat on Firewood
Construction Of a Simplified Wood Gas Generator
" In this report, detailed step-by-step procedures are presented for constructing a
simplified version of the W.W.II wood gas generator; this simple, stratified, downdraft gasifier unit
can be constructed from materials which would be widely available
in the United States in a prolonged petroleum crisis. For example, the body of the unit consists of a
galvanized metal garbage can atop a small metal drum; common plumbing fittings are used
throughout; and a large, stainless steel mixing bowl is used for the grate. "
"A prototype gasifier unit was fabricated from these instructions this unit was then mounted onto the front of
a farm tractor and successfully field tested, using wood chips as the only fuel (see Fig. S-3).
Photographic documentation of the actual assembly of the unit, as well as its operational field test,
is included in the body of this report."
." Several years of laboratory and field testing have indicated
that such simple, inexpensive gasifiers can be built from existing hardware and will perform very well
as emergency units."

A Chinese biogas manual
If you are seriously considering woodgas to run your car,tractor or boat or even stationary engine, have you given any thought to running them on poop instead? All kidding aside, methane gas generators are a time proven energy producer and if you live in the country and have access to a large supply of organic material or manure you can make methane using the information on the books in this CD. The Chinese book is one of the best DIY manulas on the subject ever written.
Since the 1950s China has experimented with the production of biogas from agricultural waste, a practice based upon an age-old Chinese tradition of composting human, animal and plant waste to produce an organic fertilizer of high quality. The breakthrough came in 1975 when a process was developed to permit the materials in an airtight and watertight container in order to produce methane gas. This was then collected for use as fuel promoters, cooking and lighting.
The production of biogas, which is regarded in many countries as a byproduct of an efficient system of energy production, has become in China a comprehensive, controlled method of waste disposal, recycling resources, supplying energy and fertilizer in improving rural health, as the digesting of waste in a closed container kills many other pathogens responsible for common human diseases
There are approximately 7,000,000 biogas pits in operation in China leading the country in a movement to extend the practice throughout the countryside. This manual describes in detail how to build the pit, and covers a full range of designs to suit various soils from sandstone to sheer rock. It also includes a description of how the original manual was used.

How about The best low cost DIY
windmill
books on the web
Starting with:
Homemade 6 V wind electric plants
this is an extremely low tech manual on how the rural farmer could make his own electricity from the wind using locally avaialble low cost materials way back in 1939!
Not many diagrams as the other windmill boooks but lots of good info. this could easily be adapted to 12 volt.
Published by the North Dakota agricultural College extension service
The wind is a source of power that is universally available. This publication deals entirely with a homemade wind driven 6 V battery charger system which may be used to generate energy to keep batteries charge.
Requests from many individuals for information on how to build wind generating plants has prompted the design, development and test on them through the cooperative efforts of the Department of agricultural engineering and electrical engineering,.
There are many satisfactory small generating plants on the market. However, there are many enterprising and mechanically handy farmers who desire to build their own plant into a take pride in building such a plant by their own skill.

My favorite inspirational Windmill ebook- a classic!
the Homemade Windmills of Nebraska
This is one of my favorite windmill books. It was published in 1899.
I love this book.
The inventiveness and creativity of the people of Nebraska in building this amazing variety of windmills is a joy to behold.
I defy you not to get some good windmill ideas from this book or finish reading it without getting a smile on your face
