This paper presents the wood gas powered cars and the new linear thermo-kinetic model of gasification. The wood gas powered cars will be presented from their invention up to this day. I will describe in detail the chemical composition of different types of trees, the heating value and the reaction equations of gasification. On the basis of the wood’s chemical composition and of the reaction equation I have made an approximate model, which helps to specify the resulting synthesis gas’ chemical composition and the energetic properties. The basis of the model is an energy calculation, and it can be easily solved numerically. I have applied the model and I analysed some types of trees. I have compared the results with the data of the gas powered cars. Finally I have made a cost analysis and I have concluded that if wood gas is used as petrol, the costs can be reduced significantly.
