The more steam mental gymnists post. The more I'm convinced a high compression Brayton cycle is the right way to go. That or just wrap the wood gas in insulation and use only EGR for cooling. The removal of tar and other particulates are going to reduce the efficiency, and so is the water-gas shift reaction. Don't cool with anything but EGR until every last speck of wood has been burned.

I hope you're joking. Even a woodgas lawnmower would be stretching it. You'd have to burn wood directly in an intake manifold for it to be of a reasonable size.

All your metal water tubes are going to explode from induced current when the sun goes micronova and brings the next Younger Dryas on our asses. Non-metallic lines will also be difficult to come by after the next Carrington event (separate event) knocks out the grid. A gas turbine might survive though.
