Here is a way you can rid yourself from trips to the gas station. Well this gasification system isn’t magic you would still need a fuel source such as wood shavings. This is a waste material from lots of manufacturing facilities though. Congrats to this project winning the $20,000 Craftsman tool contest! If you are interested in installing this power plant in to your car All Power Labs has kits available. Will this system kill the electric car idea?

"Gasification is the use of heat to tranform solid biomass, or other carbonaceous solids, into a synthetic "natural gas like" flammable fuel. Through gasification, we can convert nearly any solid dry organic matter into a clean burning, carbon neutral, gaseous fuel. Whether starting with wood chips or walnut shells, construction debris or agricultural waste, the end product is a flexible gaseous fuel you can burn in your internal combustion engine, cooking stove, furnace or flamethrower. Or in this case, your DeLorean. Well ok, how about a Honda Accord . . ."
