Machinery for a post collapse world
Discuss this article at the Doomsteading Table Inside the Diner
Welcome to my kick off post. I find it the height of arrogance to blog as I claim no mastery in the subjects that interest me most. I’m a greenie, a builder, a single dad, an alternative energy enthusiast, a gardener, and deeply concerned about the sustainability of the world we have created. I probably won’t write all that often but look in from time to time as I muddle my way through building a better life. For today the topic will be My charcoal powered tractor.
Years ago I launched a search for a fossil fuel free way to charge my batteries in my off grid home. The amount of useable sun in the winter on my solar array would drop to 1.5 hours from a summer high of 5. Most off grid homes resort to propane generators to make up the difference. Propane was not cheap and like any good doomer I understood how precious it was. Steam, thermo electrics, stirling engines, Hydrogen brown gas, you name it I researched and tinkered. The search for an alternative led me to Gasification, specifically charcoal gasification, as a possible locally appropriate solution. Hidden in history I discovered hundred of thousands tractors, buses and cars ran on the stuff during the second world war. Some were jury rigged but there was also also factory made kits, standardization of fuel, Fuelling stations, government pamphlets, standards of construction, government regulations and guidelines, it was all there and vanished as soon as gasoline became available again. Don’t buy it? Just another conspiracy theory? here is a great photo montage done by another woodgas nut like me. What strikes me here is just how normal this fuel was:
Imagine my surprise that a fuel that could run all my machinery with minor modification could be made at home while I heated my house…
This article is too short to go into the ins and outs of gasification, charcoal versus wood and how it works so take a look here for a primer on the subject:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_gas
If you want a glimpse into the modern masters of the technology check here:
As often happens in life priorities change. For me it was kids, a busier work schedule and correspondingly higher electrical usage which had me choose to grid connect my home to replace the generator. For a while projects around resilience took a back seat to all that make families work. It was always there though. I’ve decided to revisit these themes over the next few years as I attempt to refocus my life towards greatly increased food production, renewed energy independence, and fossil fuel replacements. Right now food comes first.
Fossil fuels have come to be critical to food production. I won’t debate the effectiveness of permaculture, lasagna garden bed making, french intensive methods, organic farming, or the joys of draft animals here. I can tell you that in times of crisis we will need millions of new large gardens seemingly overnight and one thing all those above methods are not is fast. Tractors are able to convert a manicured lawn into a plowed field in a matter of hours. With all that in mind my contribution is my 1953 Ferguson TEA20 tractor converted to run on charcoal. It was cheap and available but appropriately its from an era of simpler machines designed to run forever and be repaired by an owner in the field with minimal tools. On a sunny october afternoon it turned my weed filled 2250 sq ft garden back into the food plot it had once been. One hour of charcoal powered cultivation replaced what would have been 3 days of back breaking work for one person. Total fuel consumed 10 gallons of charcoal ,just shy of 14 Lbs., roughly equivalent to 1 US gallon of gasoline. I make my charcoal in my wood stove over the winter. This would have represented the coals from 24 hours of mid winter fires but honestly it probably took me 2 evenings of shovelling coals to accumulate this much as I’m not a fanatic or desperate. This is not a solution for a thriving society basking in economic prosperity and cheap energy. It works best if you have access to wood and are used to processing it so probably rural dwellers, who are land rich but money poor and heat with wood. It will not power an economy of commuting suburbanites but it might be enough for my northern tree covered slice of the world.
I’ve committed to plowing up 2 garden plots for friends this fall if time allows. I will be running on charcoal and will record the process. For now just some stills and some background videos will have to do. As a teaser that same 14 lbs of charcoal would have produced between 6 and 8 kW Hr of electricity for battery charging… That is another post though.
Cheers,
It all starts with making charcoal:
A walk around in the tractor’s early days:
All nice and shiny running on charcoal gas at an agricultural fair. It’s never been that clean since!

I basically don’t interact with normal people anymore. They have nothing to offer me and I don’t want to give them anything.

JuanP, I see Trump as the most effective way to take down the US from within. As you mentioned, he is destroying decades of US propaganda around the world as people and countries are beginning to see behind the USMSM iron curtain.
Only the US dollar threat still keeps some from cutting the ties. That is being taken care of by Russia and China and the Federal Reserve. The next crash will be the final one for the dollar. That is why I hope Trump wins another four years so he can finish the US as a respected, trusted country and be outed as the 3rd world, banana republic, polices state, dictatorship that it really is.
GO TRUMP!

“The February 2019 ShadowStats Alternate CPI (1980 Base) held steady year-to-year, at 9.2% for the second month, down from 9.6% in December 2018.” CPI = Inflation. BTW: 9% doubles prices in 8 years.
“The ShadowStats Alternate Unemployment Rate for February 2019 is 21.1%.” (Gov’t lie says it is less than 4%)
GDP growth has been negative since 2001. About minus 1% last quarter. See the chart on the site.
You don’t want to know the actual inflation since 2000. Hint: it exceeds 600%. Your US dollar is almost worthless. Wait until the SHTF and see what it will buy. LMAO
BTW: I don’t hold dollars anywhere. Only foreign currency, mostly Philippine Pesos and not many of those. I trade them for real things of value and need.

Brexit madness goes into the last round:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6828461/The-Daily-Mail-reviews-1-000-days-incompetence-Brexit-referendum.html
Soft-Brexit proponent DM in total despair with the state of British politics. If no-deal happens, geopolitics are going to be really interesting again. Britain volunteered so far to act as a geopolitical link between the two parts of the (formerly) white world: Anglosphere and Continental Europe. Anglosphere, thanks to its Jewish leadership and subsequent alliance with the Soviet-Union (Anglos are not very picky when it comes to selecting its geopolitical friends) so far dominated Continental Europe, but these days are coming to and, now that France and potentially Russia are/will become allies of Germany, both bringing in all the nuclear hardware, required enable yourself to have a big mouth. As a bonus, China would prefer a partnership with Europe over the Anglos, because of the many invested trillions sunk
into an essentially anti-Anglo New Silk Road overland Eurasian strategy, as well as the convenient fact that Australia has no nukes and Siberia does. To top it off, many whites in Anglosphere are in total despair with the way their formerly magnificent countries are developing into third world shit holes (thanks to uncle Schmull and co), giving Europe the option of playing the lifesaver of last resort for said Anglos. “Hey, want to be a Euro again?, here are the weapons”.
Interesting times.

DM impressed with EU resolve and professionalism:
Negotiation is a finely balanced art of bluff and deception, and although wily Monsieur Barnier is not a man you would trust to share a bottle of water with crossing a desert, the sad truth is he has run rings around us from the get-go.
I must admit that over the last year I have become pleasantly impressed with the behavior of the EU as well. “A star has born”, as they say in Tinseltown.

The economy will spiral down, but hey, we British survived worse and war is so much more fun than a peaceful Single Common Market. Expect the Americans to chime in, ready to help the British to teach these European pussies a lesson. For America and Britain, Europe is essentially a place to bomb and rape and once finished, accuse the hapless Europeans that they gassed 6 million jews and wanted to conquer the world anyway.
I still have to make up my mind about who are a greater pestilence for the white race: jews or Anglos. Fortunately for us Europeans, the jews have decided that white Anglos need to go through mass third world immigration, so we continental Europeans can enjoy the demise of white Anglosphere like a romantic sun set, while sipping wine, eating cheese and being protected by 50 mega-ton hydrogen bombs of Russian produce. Without white Anglos, the kikes no longer have their White Wunderwaffe to attempt to conquer the world with. Jews are not half as smart as they love to think they are.

It has never been so low with aimless BS you plant on this site daily. Not only once or twice daily like the other twat, anon, this is all day long.

Nonsense, this world does not operate in like the 1940’s anymore cloggo. We are globalized and it is very hard to leave that without mass disruption. The EU can’t afford this disruption especially considering how precarious the EU economy is now. The EU is in worse shape than the US or China. It can’t afford a violent economic mess.

“What’s Behind the Massive Midwestern Floods: 2 Giant Waves of Water”
https://tinyurl.com/y525z9fr live science
https://tinyurl.com/y2bwaeln space view
“The floods aren’t isolated incidents, however: Two giant waves of water are rolling down from the country’s far-northern middle expanse. One wave is following the path of the Missouri River toward the Mississippi River, carrying with it big chunks of ice. The second wave is taking a similar path down the Mississippi River from Minnesota. Both are the result of a long winter of heavy snowfall in Minnesota and the Dakotas followed by a short, sharp melt. Both floods are more or less each one giant wave traveling at the speeds of their rivers”
“Thanks to a strong storm system last week, the snow is melting very fast. That storm dumped heavy snow on Colorado and then turned into rain over North Dakota and Minnesota, Jones said. That rain was very cold, but still warm enough to trigger a sudden snowmelt. Ultimately, a couple inches of rainwater across a wide area combined with several inches of snowmelt to produce this intense flood wave. And the chunks of ice in the flood make things worse, Jones said. Periodically, they clump up as the flood moves south, creating temporary ice dams. Those dams cause water to back up behind them, worsening the flooding before they break and release the wave again.”

https://tinyurl.com/y363jxuk Bloomberg
“China’s banks may have a flood of bad loans waiting in the wings. Not that you’d know it from looking at official levels for 2018, which suggest the problem was broadly contained. The reality is that newly soured debt was coming through the front door as fast as banks could shovel it out the back.”
“To put that in perspective, China began the year with 1.7 trillion yuan in bad loans and ended it with 2 trillion yuan. In other words, after selling roughly their entire declared stock of soured advances, lenders still closed the year with more than they started with.”

MOB, one of the worst things to happen to the America’s is the arrival of the European and all the invasive species he hauled with him. A wonderful and magnificent ecosystem was basically destroyed by Euro greed and carelessness. Darwin himself was an idiot who saw nature as a machine to be controlled by man.

Europeans, the happiest people on earth:

Finland, that hardly has foreigners, is the happiest of them all.
Diverse America is not very happy.

Ouch. You are brain washed well by the “growth at all costs even if it means to sell out our identity” crowd. Is your name “mob” because you’re as brainless as a mob? Probably.

I’ve never seen a more ignorant statement. Without migrants, wages would rise, unions would get strong as workers would not be continuously undermined by new wage competition and services such as health would improve as services would be constantly need extra money to expand. Each new migrant added now will have to be paid for in their old age, since the world economic growth is sluggish at best, then your theory is rubbish because the facts say migrants are associated with sluggish growth, not expansion.

“an idiot who saw nature as a machine to be controlled”
Actually the biggest environmental hazards species are pure America. Corn, tobacco, black gold (oil).
The idea that Europeans are a race is disgusting racism against the tartar, Turks, slavs, and even the people of south east Asian and far east Asian heritage who have lived in Europe now for generations….

“What the EU should do is refuse an extension and keep the honour to itself. Britain can always try to negotiate some Norway deal later, after Europe raked in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar and major UK companies first.”
Could be, but I’d doubt it. It’s not written in stone that there can be no third vote, after all it is a ‘democracy’, the attorney general could be asked and also the will of parliament is paramount. However she is leaving Brexiteers with no choice but to vote for her deal if-when its finally put before the only meaningful vote that counts.

Neither Hello nor joe understand the JQ. They think mobster is acting in good faith, but that he is merely “brainwashed” or “stupid”.
They can’t understand that we have a group of smart but vile people among us, that like HIV, actively seeks our destruction. They would shrug and call it a “conspiracy theory”.

Yes its possible that people can believe the bullshit cloggie, people who hear on CNN that “our economy would collapse without migrants” is a line spun to frighten people, because they trust the people who say it. The truth is that migrants don’t vote much, they don’t strike much and they always spend their wealth on education and high rents, who love migrants landlords and collage campuses. Shocking…..
