Any of you ever used a wood/coal gas generator to operate an IC engine?

I have.
Pretty interesting gadgets. Throttle response is poor but livable.
For stationary engines they are great.

A design paid for by our tax dollars: :D

Pretty popular in Europe during WWII also in the Pacific Island areas with minimal fuel supplies

Yep,
pretty handy way to run an IC engine on wood, sawdust, sheep manure, coconut husks and shells.

Lousy throttle response but in a stationary engine they really shine

Here is a model designed with our tax dollars

You do not need coal/charcoal.
Sheep crap, wood, coconut shell, it's all good.

Plans provided at the posted link on page 1. designed specifically to be home built with minimal tools and supplies.
All bought and paid for with your tax dollars.
