    The Off Gridder is a personal power station that turns wood chunks, wood chips, pellets, and certain types of agricultural waste into a usable fuel gas, much like natural gas.

    Doug, that is not new, I have been doing that with baked beans, beer, and hard boiled eggs of years. What I need is an Auto-igniter. That is why I put the new generator in the Gooses House.......so it can run on fumes......

    Another easy fuel is methane from abandoned mines. Invest a bit of money and drill into one and tap the methane.
