a system small enough to sit in your back garden, runs off wood and gives you fuel in the form of a combustible gas, charcoal and biocrude
I saw a car somewhere that ran off a large bag of the gas strapped to the roof with a weight on to supply pressure... don't know how long it lasted though...
It'd be good if say you had a fire burning constantly anyway say at camp and you strapped the reactor over the fire and then collected the resulting gas...
many uses.
and you can plug the output hose straight to a generator

They ran commercial vehicles like that in the second world war, to save on petrol.
