Check out what we found on BBC.uk – Beaver Energy gets mentioned!

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.

Beaver Energy’s Robert “Chip” Beam, will appear on The History Channel’s “Apocalypse PA” Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 10 p.m. EST. The November 16 premiere of the cable reality series features Pennsylvania residents who are preparing for “The Apocalypse” and follows a Bethlehem man (Frank Belcastro) who teaches his family self-reliance by making things by hand instead of using modern conveniences. Beaver Energy is called upon by Belcastro to understand the basics of the wood powered car.

We hope you all tune in and leave some comments here on the blog!

 You never know who your going to met when your out on the road. Not sure why we pulled in to this gas station but I am glad we did. I thought at first it was a solar powered truck but after taking a better look I realized this was not your average fast back Ford Ranger. I have been thinking about trying this on my 1987 Toyota Celica convertible. If anyone else is having the same success with these modification from www.ecomodder.com send an email or post a comment we have lots of followers that I am sure would like to know. Did anyone guess what the picture in my previous post was? It is a steam cannon thought it was kinda cool and wanted to share it with you if you got one lets see it working. Anyway tomorrow I will be showing a really cool van I found in some remote new car lot that is road legal and only has three wheels!
