Best Answer

Wood gas or producer gas is obtained heating wood and trapping the gasses coming off (the gasses that would normally form the flame in an open fire). The composition is therefore somewhat variable but the following would be a reasonable breakdown of the composition of the products coming off the wood gas generator (and going to the engine).

  • Nitrogen N2: 50.9%
  • Carbon monoxide CO: 27.0%
  • Hydrogen H2: 14.0%
  • Carbon dioxide CO2: 4.5%
  • Methane CH4: 3.0%
  • Oxygen O2: 0.6%.
