[Gasification] ideal wood gas engine

[Kevin]

Dear Charles

Your stated need is for "about 20 HP" at 1,800 RPM

You should be able to get about 21.4 HP with an engine of 2500 CC (153 Cubic 
Inches), burning about 19 kG/Hr (42 Lbs/Hr)

It would be very helpful if others could comment on the other aspects of an 
engine.... in particular, the Ignition system, whether Distributor or 
"Computer Controlled", and the implications of using a Fuel Injected engine, 
rather than a carburetor engine.

Best wishes,

Kevin
