[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

The gengas system was invented by Axel Svedlund (b. 1891) already in 1913 and used during WW 1 in limited numbers. After WW 1 there was no market so Svelund who was a graduated engineer turned to farming.

In 1928 he took up production of gengas generators for agricultural tractors but only on a small scale. He however got patent for 21 different types of gengas generators.

In October 1939 he sold license rights to several motor companies amongst wich General Motors. During WW 2 some 35.000 generators were made in Sweden.
