Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 10:09 pmIt's a way of extracting Energy from organic materials. Most common way I have seen is by putting wood chips into a container with a fire around it. You can heat the wood with a wood fire and contain the gasses from the heated wood to run engines. Several videos on YouTube of people using them to run generators even vehicles. Many systems were used to power vehicles and generators during the world war era in Europe. FEMA even has a set of plans out to build one.
