How would i build a very small biomass engine, something like a 1/2 gram displacement?

well, it dosn't have to produce very much power, really just enough to keep running. I would like it to power a fan, but its not required.

yeah... I plan on making this huka/diesel motor to run on salvia oil... The motor will push the smoke through perks... Im guessing that it will cost like $500 a minute in fuel... But im going to try to sell it to a head shop for $2000

Wouldn't the engine have to basically be a diesel engine? I haven't read much on this but that's what I seem to gather from it.

Yeah, biomass diesel and diesel are similar, but I don't know how much. I know that a reg diesel engine won't use biomass diesel, but I don't know why.

There is a practical reason that I’m trying to use a motor to burn the stuff too. If the plant is not burned at a high enough temperature then it won't do the job. As it is your supposed to use one of those butane torches to light the bowl.

LOL yeah it sounds practical all right... I thought I read you could burn biodiesel in a diesel engine.
