Re: Smoke Engines
The only thought I can come up with to this question is maybe it means engines that run off the smoke from a producer gas generator that burns wood or coal in a low oxygen container (to produce flamable smoke) & was used in the past when gasoline was not easy to obtain---re pre 1910 or during W.W. 2

Re: Smoke Engines
If a "Wood Gas" generator/engine is your interest, take a look at the booklet below.
Still available for *free* from FEMA and a popular FEMA item prior to Y2K, the booklet made its debut on the 'net after the Y2K rollover when demand for privately printed copies waned. Best regards, Joe "Yankee Mechanic" FEMA Wood Gas Generator Booklet
