Seriously... steam is the way to go ! use wood pellets for the fuel and a small double action steam engine and your good to go.....
....
Makes me wonder if I could convert the Honda CRV to steam ! LOL
....i could make the steam engine on the lathe build the boiler to fit the back of the car and make a automatic feeder for the pellets....
.... but I think that's a bigger project than I want to tackle I'd need a truck for that to be practical .... HAHAHAHAH !
.....
there has been a few steam motorcycles built over the years most had short range but they did work.... one carried his boiler and all in a trailer !
you can use ANY fuel that burns in a steam engine from diesel to wood to peat.
.... if you think forest fires are rampant now wait till steam engines get on the road again ! LOL Like "But I don't want that forestry approved screen on there it slows down the draft ! " HAHAHAHA
