Powered by Wood

April 7, 2009 By Mike Bumbeck

powered_by_woodIf for no other reason than wanting to see a resurgence in cellulose fueled steam engine motoring, Clunkbucket is proud to announce the vortex of awesome that is the Pacific Coast Dream Machines show. Shown here is the Famous Buffalo Springfield Steam Roller, part of the collection of machines maintained and operated by the Roots of Motive Power organization. The Pacific Coast Dream Machines show is an unparalleled celebration of velocity and innovation of which wood powered machines are just one part. Everything from the Nebulous Theorem land speed record streamliners to the World’s Largest Airship Zeppelin will be in attendance. While road going machines made partially from wood are impressive enough, one powered by wood that can actually make roads in the process of forward motion is far superior.

The 2009 Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show is scheduled for April 26,  from 10am-4pm at the Half Moon Bay Airport.

    I’m just waiting for the successful combination of all three; the wood powered streamliner, made of wood. It could be a joint effort between the British Steam Car Challenge guys and Joe Harmon, they’d just have to ditch that dangerously flammable LPG and use wood fuel, which very rarely explodes.
