<p>Hi All, I spent a year living in a caravan as I drove around Australia, soon after I read of someone who had done the same using a gasifier mounted on a trailer to run his vehicle, using wood gathered along the road side. If there were
a compact gasifer design which could be mounted on a tow bar or a bracket on a caravan, it could be real money spinner if the transport authorities allowed its use. But how small can a gasifer be made that while being able to supply enough gas to run a 3
litre engine?<u></u><u></u></p>
