Ford model T

Retired doctor of electrical science Jure Mrzel has rebuilt a Ford model T, year 1921. He found original chasis, power unit with transmision, steering and suspension parts. Based on original photographies he redesigned and built with his friends a coach of a bus for 8 passengers. After first year of succesfull driving this car, he produced a wood gas generator according to old drawings. But he added an electrical air blower to speed starting procedur for generating the gas. Traditional generator produces the gas after 20 minutes of firing with the coal. His blower helps to produce the gas after allready 10 minutes. The gas filter is also included in the instalation.

The cruise speed of the bus is 28-30 kph. Higher speed produces some vibrations in engine which should be dangerous for it. The max. speed is 35 kph. Consumption is cca 25 kg of wood/100 km or for cca 4 hours long driving.
