Fredrik - wow, very nice looking work!  Thanks for posting this!

I am most interested in any additional details you can offer.  For
example:

- to what temperature do you heat the inlet air?
- I assume it is 50kW of thermal input? Or is this 50kW shaft/electric
output?
- induction generator? 1500rpm? 3000rpm?  Governed, or constant power
output?  What kind of gas/air mixing for the engine?
- what kind of gas cleaner, at what temperature?  (filter bags?
- is the gas moved through the gasifier by a blower, or by engine
suction?
- what size and shape of chips do a Kopo or Laimet chipper produce?  Do
you mechanically agitate or feed the fuel column?
- what do each of the four vessels do?
- how does your gasifier work to produce low tar?


(those are some very pretty flame pictures, by the way)

I would assume that most of your woodgas cars can use both woodgas and
gasoline?
