Wasn't this technology used during WW2 to power vehicles with wood gasification?   Methinks this is nothing new, just a rehash of older designs which weren't especially efficient anyway, but existed solely to fill a specific need at that time.   I've seen pictures of buses with these Rube Goldberg contraptions on their roofs.

At least they should have used a Suzuki Cappuccino instead.
