<div class="moz-cite-prefix">... Gasoline is "an unstable mixture"
too ~ just light a match anywhere near it and you will soon find
out. ;-)<br>
But in this case [where we wish to use it for energy production],
"unstable" is a <i>good</i> thing.<br>
<br>
P.S. I assume that your last question about using "coal gas in an
internal combustion engine" was rhetorical...<br>

<div>Tar, a problem when using wood gas in an internal
combustion engine, is automatically eliminated in the process
of making charcoal.Charring does not require any input of
external energy. Making coal gas from charcoal is also
relatively simple. I was told that CO + H2 was an unstable
mixture, but can one use freshly made coal gas in an internal
combustion engine? <br>
