I know I’ve been posting this a lot lately, but https://www.driveonwood.com/ has some good resources. And it’s not just limited to cars and wood. There are gasifier designs that can use any dry organic burnables as fuel, such as corn stalks, sunflower shells, or manure. And they can fuel anything from tractors to generators to kitchen stoves. Even if you never end up building one, I think it’s a good idea to be familiar with them, just in case.

I’m currently working on a variation of a downdraft gasifier to turn crop waste into charcoal. Don’t know if I’ll ever run an engine off of it, but the charcoal will be made into biochar and used as fertilizer.
