Machine that generates electrisity from wood

This is a machine I invented, and finished last year.
The machine generates electricity out of wood, and the technology necessary works, it was used in post WW2 Europe in cars. With minor adjustments to the carburetor, combustion-engines can run on the fumes from burning, or rather boiling, wood. And then spin copper around the rotating wheel and its a dynamo.
This means I can live where I want, and still use electric tools and light and such, but I do not need to be connected to the normal wires, so I do not need to live in a city or close, and also do not need money, a job or a bank-account. The machine is in the workshop where it was made, and on the workbench you can see all the manual old-fashioned tools it was made with. Now the electricity is running, and in the bright light of the light-bulbs I have started doing other projects, like making arrows for my bow, so I can get some free meat
