It looks like you've shared a video titled "WOOD POWERED LAWN MOWER" by Colin Furze, where he experiments with the concept of a lawn mower powered by wood gas. If you're interested in the details of the video, here's a summary:

Summary of "WOOD POWERED LAWN MOWER"​

Colin Furze embarks on a journey to create a lawn mower that runs on wood gas, an old technology that involves burning wood in a low-oxygen environment to produce burnable gas. The process includes several steps:
  • Gasification Process: Colin demonstrates how to generate wood gas using a small gasifier. He fills a pot with wood and burns it under controlled conditions, capturing the gas that escapes.
  • Building the Gasifier: The video shows the construction of a gasifier that converts wood into gas. Colin explains the mechanisms, such as how the setup allows the gas to be pulled through a fire.
  • Initial Tests: After some initial failures due to equipment limitations, he manages to get a working prototype. Adjustments to airflow and wood moisture levels are necessary for efficiency.
  • Challenges Encountered: Despite getting the mower operational, Colin faces issues with the engine due to a buildup of tar and other impurities affecting performance. He discusses future improvements for a more efficient gasifier.
  • Merchandise Promotion: Toward the end, he highlights his merchandise as a promotional note.
