Love your work man! Copied your updated biodigester & I'm now making my own at home! I think people need to reclaim their accountability & create their lives instead of being victims!
Good to see you back at it. I mentioned your biogas experiments to "Project Kamp", which is a kind of off grid living experiment in Portugal who didn't have a good solution for dealing with human waste. I think I'll be doing the same on my property, as I think it'll work out cheaper than installing a septic. My thinking for the application for biogas for myself, is kind of like a battery. I'm increasingly thinking that it will be cheaper to stay off grid on my property, than to get it connected to mains. And all current battery technologies degrade at rates that I don't particularly think are sustainable. A biogas system that I could maintain myself could help convert solar (direct heat from the sun or photovoltaic) and biomass into energy that could run a generator. Doing the work to determine the size of the system that would be required for a single dwelling to keep the lights on at night would I think be quite a helpful thing to demonstrate.
Great to see you back again. I'm on the virge of starting up a digester and have seen and used all your videos to build my own system, including the scrubbers. I also want to build an IBC sewage system and collect methane from that as well. I wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to actually build it and use the gas for daily use. Thank you!!!
good to see you back, you inspired me to build a proof of concept a little while back, of which I managed to cook a whole meal on biogas! when im less busy I plan on building a plant for our offgrid house
I'm going to follow you on this adventure! An aside question: I've got a large pond. It looks a bit like the one in the background in the video. Do you, or your audience, have any input on the idea of putting a sheet of plastic out in the water to catch the natural methane?
Why don't you use a compresser from a frige, or freezer, one that runs R290 of R600 (Isopropane, and IsoButane) they are cheap, and easy to find, you can easy get more PSI of BAR pressure too.
Timing of finding your AU channel is interesting, Commercial gas is going because they say it kills ya so if ya need gas as a fuel and the supply is going to end by 2030 it's time we all took biogas seriously. In my case I have Solar but every day cooking is gas and it's gone by 2030 - we have a wood stove to heat water but it's a Stanley and in the summer who wants a fire going so it's gas. I did a single 44 and track tube proof of concept 20 years ago, interesting burns without smell or flame and I was only 1/3rd full got 20 minutes burn a day for months. Until I thought it was dead and abandoned it to come back weeks later and found the metal 44 had blown it's top - So I Know it's good. Subscribed Ausie - @THE_UGLY_K1VV1
Hey man very interested in making my own digester and compressing into tanks for everyday use. At the moment i plan to use 2 55 gallon barrels. One for waste with a connwctiont I the other to collect gas. I'm wondering if thats would work. Figure you'd be the right one to ask and yours looks a little different. Many designs are elongated/vertical on the ground and im wondering if the barrels would work?
Do you run an on-demand hot water heater on biogas for showers? I would like to try that myself, great if there is a practical video somewhere on how to do that.
I absolutely love what you do. Thank you so much for sharing. Glad to see you back at it again. Do you have any experience with corrosion inside of your compressed tanks? Ever cut open an old one to check? I'm looking at large scale generation and storage for a long term project and am curious to see how long tanks could last with scrubbed and unscrubbed gas. Hope you're well. Good stuff.
