Ever since Doc Brown added a Mr. Fusion and a Flux Capacitor to a Delorean, many of us have longed to fuel our car with rubbish and/or travel in time.
Now you can do one of the above thanks to the marvels of Gasification!
Now, here’s the science bit:
Gasification is the use of heat to transform solid biomass, or other carbonaceous solids, into a synthetic “natural gas like” flammable fuel. Through gasification, we can convert nearly any solid dry organic matter into a clean burning, carbon neutral, gaseous fuel. Whether starting with wood chips or walnut shells, construction debris or agricultural waste, the end product is a flexible gaseous fuel you can burn in your internal combustion engine, cooking stove, furnace or flamethrower.
In our case, a DeLorean or even, perhaps this Honda Accord.
Gasifiers aren’t new, but this instructable teaches you how to build a small scale version powerful enough to run your car! 
Remember though people. You need dry organic matter!
So no fresh banana peels or stale beer (I’m guessing none of you would waste good beer 
 )
I have to admit that the thought of fueling up on pinecones and such sounds a very sweet idea and certainly beats forking out for petrol!
Once they get it looking like a Mr. Fusion and less like a metal bin then I’m up for it!
