One thing that would really complete this masterpiece, props by the way!, is to make it run off would gas. It is totally possible to run combustion motors on pine cones, walnut shells, twigs, and small wood chunks. Over a million vehicles ran on it in Europe during WWII. Imagine no more fuel costs! There are many books, and videos out there, but the basic idea is you have a wood stove, filter, cool, and route it into the motor with 50% fresh air. You might be able to figure it out so it replace your boiler, and the vent out the top ran through outdoor cooling tubes on the way to your motor. a rack on the back could hold dry fuel to keep on trucking… I have some interesting articles and research on this if you would like more info. let me know. Loads of stuff on youtube too…
Meant to say “wood gas”..
Nice idea. Finally a use for all those pistachio shells 🙂 could potentially solve two problems though but sounds like a whole project in itself! I’ll have a read if you wouldn’t mind sending me the links?
