thermal gasification?

propane works. Car drives, moved it in to take care of rotting vinyl and begin cosmetic modification.

Methane production is disapointing (read: slow) trying to digest almost pure paper. Still going will report back in 3-4 months.

Thermal gasification: process of extracting gaseous hydrocarbons from solid carbon compounds.

Apparently most prevalent product is methane.

Possible idea: fresnel lens from old bigscreen tv, old fire extinquisher filled with paper, some pipe, a valve= methane?


lye,water and aluminum production of hydrogen works better than expected. Containment is another matter


Still need pictures.
