The Gasifier Experimenters Kit is a "lego system" to help you get started in the biomass thermal conversion art. The kit allows one to easily set up and compare various architectures of gasifiers and pyrolysis units, with a produced gas that can be used for heating, electrical power or transport purposes. Don't wait for Exxon/Mobil to solve the problem. You can do it yourself with the "trash" you have laying around your house, yard, or farm. Escape from Berkeley (by any non-petroleum means necessary) is an open road race from Berkeley to Las Vegas of hacked alt powered vehicles, using only fuels scavenged along the route. Half Darpa Grand Challenge, half art car parade. Building workshops this spring and summer at The Shipyard/ALL Power Labs. The race will be mid-October 2008.
