Introduction

Based on a personal gasifier (care of Dr. Yuyi Lin [1], Mike Koch, et al.):

which generates gas from any cellulosic biomass:

we can take the process further to make liquid fuels.

Extension to Liquid Fuel Production

Utilizing Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, a process proven on a large scale:

we will evaluate the possibilities for optimization for small-scale fuel generation. We mean personal fuel makers - a radical proposition.
