Brew your own generator fuel
And with "what" will you heat the distilling rig in order to brew the generator fuel - coal, horse manure, pedal power from a stationary bike............? :-rofl2

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Yes, wood would generate energy for distilling process, but to get substance to be distilled you need to buy some sugar, and from 1kg of sugar you can get roughly 0.5l of fuel. Means that 1l of home-made fuel can cost up to 2 EUR per liter..... easier to buy normal fuel at the gas-station and burn it.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Woodgas is one of them things I'd like to try with my POSgen generator, just to see how easy (or not) it is, plenty videos on youtube of people making their own wood gasifiers that then feeding the gas into the engine, perfect project for putting together in a garage or workshop... :D
