Naw fuck it, when were tyrannosaurs around? I pick then
Yeah, seems like an exciting way to kill myself. Better than my current life plans so why not? No one said I had to survive in the past, just visit.
Oh I'd try my best to survive. I wonder how much shit I can cram in the time machine; I can probably rig a generator to run off a wood fire
The first diesel engine ran on coal dust. I'm sure you could modify a diesel generator to run on charcoal dust, which you could make with a wood fire.
Search "Wood Gasification Engine" online.
I had been thinking straight-up steam, hadn't even considered charcoal/bio diesel.
Though I do like the wood gas idea; should be easy to retune a propane engine for it
