A wood-powered generator at home?

Question

could it be possible to have a machine which provides electricity using wood as its source of energy?

Answer 1

yes but you have to ask yourself are you an environmentally friendly person if not you could use the old steam engine stylr technology. wire up a burner to a steam powered engine connect a dynamo to store the energy or have it used directly (using it directly might blow a fuse) a dynamo connected to a battery will do. (remember a dynamo in reverse stores energy get it wrong and it uses energy).

Answer 2

It is not possible in a normal suburban environment.

If it had to be done as an experiment it would require a steam engine connected to a generator.

The efficiency would be CIRCA 15 %

Answer 3

A steam generator= EPA permits, Smoke stack scrubbers like coal fired plants, etc. It would involve too much hassle.

Answer 4

Possible yes, can you buy such a thing, NO!

Answer 5

I don't think so
