Howdy Folks,

I have been following the progress of a group of three young men in Sweden
as they build a Wood-Gas powered car and are right now driving it around
Sweden.
They had places set up to restock there wood block fuel supply.
While they are on the road everything is written in Swedish, but I found a
couple interesting pictures.
It seems they found another guy that is running his car on Wood-Gas and he
has an old tank cooled engine belted up to a wood chopper.

Anyone know what this engine is?

Here is their red Volvo and the car belonging to their wood providing host.

I hope someone besides me finds this interesting.
It IS gas engine related.
The actual gasifier in their car was built during WWII.
