Woodgas Carburetor

I have been working on the carburetor. It's not a carb in the true sense, since we are not atomizing liquid fuel. Woodgas enters the engine in gaseous state, so the gas needs only to be mixed with the air in the right proportions. I built a device to do this. Basically a carb throttle and choke, with a side entrance for the woodgas. Here it is painted:



I cut my own gaskets from gasket paper:

New Youtube Channel

I have finally got myself shifted on to a single Google account; for a while I used the account for only one thing - YouTube. I left it due to the videos I had posted, and subscriptions I had made. YouTube does not allow account switching, BTW - once you've signed up, that's the only account you can use. But constantly switching between Google accounts is no fun. So I have just finished reposting all the videos from kymetro9999 to the new channel, eatmorechili1. I managed to continue the color scheme from the blog onto the channel page. Here's one of the more popular videos: 

This is a few of us at GeoPalooza this year. We were working on a Geo Metro which needed welding on the underneath side. Lacking a floor jack, we had plenty of human labor....Lift it up! We steadied it with some boards and held on tight, monitoring the slightest motions very carefully. All told, the car stayed in the air for about 45 minutes. Please note the gas-can stool that Coyote-X is sitting on while he welds.
