A car modified to be powered on coffee grounds has been involved in an attempt on a speed record for vehicles run on gas from organic waste.

Engineer Martin Bacon from County Durham equipped the car with a gasifier which burns organic material at high temperature. This produces combustible gases which, after cleaning and cooling, are used to fuel an adapted combustion engine.

During the Green Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, NY, the Beaver Energy team had the privilege to be filmed for the Alan Nursall Experience. The Alan Nursall Experience is a segment in the Canadian Discovery channels show called the Daily Planet. The episode showcases our Wood Powered Car and short discussions with Chip Beam. Then, Alan Nursall gives the run down on how gasification works.

Unfortunately the Discovery channel website doesn’t allow us to embed their video, until we get the footage please click here to watch the segment.
