I have been feeding woodgas from my Chinese JXQ-10 gasifier into my
Onan 6.5NH genset on and off this summer, in an attempt to figure
out how to reliably convert wood chips to electricity.

I'm getting closer, but I ain't all the way there yet.

Don't tell anybody, but I have been feeding the genset some pretty
tarry carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. But so far, the engine still
runs fine.

One of my books on alternate energy warns that the first sign of
trouble will likely be the intake valve stem stuck in its guide after
the engine cools. IIRC if you miss that the second is either a bent
pushrod or the valve smacking into the piston.
