The moonshine thread got me thinking. Remember the old WWII spy movies

the car could run on.

How the heck did that work?

Google for a poster named Alan Connor on misc.survivalism. His posts
will give you all the information you'll ever need on wood gas-- to
either enable you to live a lifetime in poverty or just be dead, one of
those.

But the Amazons who defend his digs might make the effort worthwhile --
maybe.

OK, tongue out of cheek now.
