Hydrogen Generator Gas Vol 9 Generator Gas-The Swedish Experience 1939-1945 
WAS $34.95  CLEARANCE  $24.00
 SERI & Thomas B. Reed   343 pages   8.5x11 inches   978-1-60322-050-7
Summarizes the scientific, technical and commercial information that developed during World War II. While the world’s fossil liquid fuel supplies were being used to make war around the globe Sweden, cut off from fossil fuels, converted 40% of its entire motor vehicle fleet to burning wood. The gas generator for motor vehicles was developed at an astonishing speed during the war years. This work will enable anyone that is engaged in gasifier projects to build upon knowledge which the Swedes procured long ago.   This unit is all about making and putting a gasifier on the front or back of your vehicle, plus small stationary engines. The first gasifier you make should be stationary for a generator or engine (volumes 3/4 above).  Your second gasifier should be for a vehicle and this is the book for starting that project.

Biogas 3: How the Chinese Make Biogas. 
WAS $24.95  CLEARANCE  $12.00
 Michael Cook   140 pages   5.5x8.5 inches   978-1-60322-039-2
This is a hands on step by step book. This book contains the ways that the Chinese perfected the process of making methane from organic material. The manual shows you how to dig a hole, make a brick or earth wall and then cover it for continuous production of free methane from the digesting material. This is a very low maintenance system and the Chinese had over 6 million bio digesters of this model working in the late 70’s/early 80’s. This is one beautiful system that you can build in your own backyard.  This is a system that you put in organic material and manure from animals into, it is NOT a high temp gasification system like the above books.  This is methane production from anaerobic digestion.  The emphasis of this book is on making digesters that are BIGGER than the ones in Biogas 1&2.  In particular this one is about digging a hole and turning the large hole into a gasifier.  This one is for farm scale gas production.  Biogas 1&2 is for home scale production.

This book contains abundant information about the mass manufacture of Hydrogen Energy related gases. Including explicit details about the, chemistry and methods on the manufacture of all of the gasses important for the hydrogen revolution. Industrial gases covers Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Ammonia, Producer Gas, Illuminating Gas, Acetylene, Ozone etc…
Hydrogen—you know this one. Oxygen is a byproduct of H2 manufacture in some cases. Nitrogen is used with H2 to make Ammonia. Carbon Dioxide is reduced to Carbon Monoxide and combined with water to make Hydrogen. Sulfur Dioxide is used to make sulfuric acid which is a hydrogen carrier ( and ten thousand other things), Ammonia is a hydrogen carrier (and a thousand other things), Producer Gas and Illuminating gas are excellent carriers of hydrogen and are easy to make, Acetylene is a huge part of our hydrogen future and Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that can be used in other chemistry to make more H2. Anyone who thinks that these gases do not have anything to do with a Hydrogen Future has been swallowing the stupefied public mush that the media and other idiots have been pushing.

The WoodGas Campstove LE is the smallest and lightest product utilizing WoodGas technology. Measuring just 5" in diameter and 6.5" tall, it provides a hot fire from twigs and chips in the smallest possible package. The stove, pot holder and carry bag (included) weigh 23 oz. One load twigs burns for about 10 minutes, providing 10,000 btu/hr of cooking heat. An excellent solution for individuals to boil water or cook a small meal.  This stove weights 1 pound 7 oz.  That's LIGHT, yeah..its not the 4 oz that your super titanium brunton stove is, but as the logo for the stove goes, ' pack the stove, NOT your fuel'.  If you are some super snobby back packer who pays extra for titanium cookware and carbon graphite hiking sticks, you won't like this.  If you are a normal person you'll LOVE it.

The WoodGas Campstove XL is a larger cooking stove, optimized for longer cooking times and higher heat. One load of twigs will typically burn for 20 minutes, while producing 12,000 btu/hr of cooking heat. It measures 9" tall and 6.5" in diameter, and weighs 35 oz. The campstove XL is the perfect size for cooking complex meals or meals for small groups. As in other WoodGas products, fuel can be added during cooking for longer burn times. Compressed wood pellets also work very well, burning for 3 times the burn time of twigs.  This is a larger version of the LE stove (the first one released).  I personally use my XL a lot more than I do my LE and I keep an XL stove in a cooking pot, that is just slightly larger than the stove, in my truck during the winter.  I have a small axe, saw and I have some soda bottles filled with wood pellets.  So no matter where I am I can melt snow for drinking water.  I can get my own fuel (the axe and the saw) or I can use the pellets I have.  Since I am not doing any remote driving, its kinda not needed, but I did it anyway as an experiment.   I have had excellent use toasting marshmallows in it on cold nights when at friends.
