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.

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
