- TheIinLive, on 05/14/2008, -2/+26How would that be helping the environment though....?
- sterntastic223, on 05/14/2008, -1/+18My GIRLFRIEND runs on wood, if you know what I meaaaan!!! Meaning she runs in a gym with wood floors. What did you think I meant?
- inactive, on 05/14/2008, -0/+11It seems like you can run a car on just about anything if you've got the skills and the time...
- Failchan, on 05/14/2008, -0/+9The ***** did I just read?
- Mononuclear, on 05/14/2008, -2/+11Instead of using up oil lets just cut down even more trees and more deforestation to power our cars! We already have a huge problem with deforestation. This is not the answer and might even be worse than just using oil..
- lucutus, on 05/14/2008, -0/+8From the description it seems that this is running on reduced gas from wood coals. Kinda like this guy's Yugo http://freeweb.deltha.hu/zastava.in.hu/wood-gas.ht ...
- Gemfinder, on 05/14/2008, -0/+6Steampunk is fun, but I'd rather get methanol out of the wood and run it on that.
- moomeep, on 05/14/2008, -0/+6nothing new at all

- Canadian0207, on 05/14/2008, -0/+6that must be terribly inefficient
- Shorties, on 05/14/2008, -1/+6I would of said that a little more tactfully

3E G68B 0O 5S2S BOM! - Dylson, on 05/14/2008, -1/+6Just smile and nod....SMILE and NOD!
- Failchan, on 05/14/2008, -0/+5Godspeed, my moronic friend. Godspeed.
- Vich, on 05/14/2008, -2/+6Yeah, getting rid of all those nasty trees will help for sure
- rolf, on 05/14/2008, -0/+5These were used in Germany late in the war (and several years after) when oil was scarce:

The downside was that you had to start the fire a good while before using the car. It was not a jump in and get going type of thing. - praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+5I think someone put a magnet near his head.
- Dylson, on 05/14/2008, -0/+3A dick.
- BelatedHero, on 05/14/2008, -2/+5You are not one of them.
- inactive, on 05/14/2008, -0/+3I see what you did there. Jacking off. We read you.
- tbk123, on 05/14/2008, -0/+3wtf?? Sure isn't as slick looking as all those snazzy silver stream-lined cars you see on Gas2.0
- Ghostalker, on 05/14/2008, -0/+3How many gallons of wood does that tank hold?
- killerknives, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2"Grab the playboys we're going on a road trip!!"
- CookieDuster666, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2Never heard of wood fired car? What about the Stanley Steamer?
- inactive, on 05/14/2008, -3/+8here is a cool" how to "video...
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=OgbAOBkoI84 not a rick roll.......Johnny Cash... - inactive, on 05/14/2008, -1/+3The only ones the lefties hate are the ignorant rightard *****.
It's funny that you pretend LIBS are racist when the GOP just pushed through that voter ID law that will impact minority voting.
Ah well, you rightard shills didn't ACTUALLY want those poor blacks to vote anyway.
And I guess you are pretending you haven't been over to LGF lately. Let me point you over there. If you are looking for ignorance and hate, that's your gold mine.
It's also not surprising so see a rightard pretending otherwise.
I wonder if you rightards will EVER get any integrity. - Renian, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2[citation needed]
It would if you don't replant and don't balance out the exhaust with new trees, as you would be giving off all the carbon that the tree has absorbed during its life. If you do it right, it should work fine. - tratten, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2Thats only a problem when new trees aren't planted. If new trees are planted the environmental impact is very low. The solution is strict laws and regulations that requires that new trees are planted.
But as Gemfinder said, that it would be better with methanol. That can be produced from wood industry waste. - Sillywombat, on 05/14/2008, -1/+3Correct me if im wrong, but isnt this called a steam engine?? Like the ones used in the first trains?
- Shalaby, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2how do you start the engine, light a pile of sticks? or is it a mechanized lighter? how do you stop it for that matter...
- mqchen, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Buses in Oslo, Norway already run on leftover wood from various production/construction.
- inactive, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1This would be great idea if you lived on some acreage and wanted to power a pickup to haul things around. You really wouldn't need a lot of mileage and you wouldn't need to buy gasoline.
- sngx1275, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1I think Sweden had to do this during WW2 because the Germans prevented any oil shipments.
- Mattwdj, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1i got wood reading this....
....errr jk. - LinuxGalore, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1During WW!! due to fuel shortages this was very common here in Australia, I have seen old black and white pictures of cars with a big gas bag on the roof and weird wood conversion unit that look like a stove mounted on the back.
- joshcxa, on 05/14/2008, -1/+2it's win win! The more forrests we clear, the more room we have for more wallmarts!
- pitlord, on 05/14/2008, -3/+5This is a great idea!
>.>
The exhaust from a wood burning car would destroy our air TEN TIMES FASTER than gasoline.
-_-
Friggin, morons! - Dantehman17, on 05/14/2008, -2/+3As if we aren't cutting down enough tree already.
- misimiki, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1yeah it's called a steam engine!!!
- inactive, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Did you hear about the wooden car with wooden wheels and a wooden engine? It wooden go!
- bobmagoo, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1You know, it's so easy to say "oh someone else will summon the seven dragons of reggae" but if I don't, then who will
- TheTrust, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Wood Burning Turbine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-8BX7dUk5c - blueomega137, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1that is pretty cool.
- Alex2, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1it is. This truck was on Discovery Channel.
- Myztry, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1That's almost a silly as running a massive 100 ton vehicle like a train on coal... hmmmm...
- oldcyborg, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Yoiu know that the owner couldn't get much else done, especially if they also heat the house with wood. Tons of work, very little return, and a vehicle that looks like *****.... I can't see that, even in WV........
Cyborg - Lavarock, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1More like Gas .5a
- KingGorilla, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1I like steampunk
