Gasifers are not a new technology. During WWII, gasifiers were used to power over a million automobiles, as well as everything from cooking stoves and generators to tractors, boats, trains and airplanes!

During the oil crisis of the 1980’s, the US Government produced and distributed plans for wood fuel gasifiers that could be made at home.

Although the technology is not new, Vendel has added his own improvements to create a very effective fuel product unit. On the first run, it successfully ran a 2.5 kW generator with a 1000 watt load for 2.5 hours on two 5-gallon buckets of wood scraps (the generator was a typical small gasoline utility generator. No special modifications were needed to make the generator run on wood fuel).
