May I make a constructive suggestion? The music you put in the background of your videos seems noisy, over stimulating and distracting. Maybe others like it, but I would enjoy watching much much more with just your voice or maybe the sound of nature in the background please. This is great information and I'd like to learn all the details of your system and how you find it working for you! Thanks.
You inspired me to build a similar biodigester on my farm, this way, I will considerably reduce my gas bill, including, I will look for a gas generator to become completely energetically independent, combining gas with the wind and solar plants that I already have. Greetings from Portugal
Cooking gas is a fairly major expenditure here in Thailand. But we have so much buffalo dung available every day. This is the kind of project that helps not just families but whole towns. Plus it helps keep "the scene clean". Thank you very much! Looking forward to any refinements of the system or updates to maintaining it you might come up with. Game changing.
This is an excellent video. Really inspiring. This is a viable alternative to the high cost of natural gas prices in Europe for home cooking and heating
vielen Dank für Deine sehr guten Videos...klasse erklärt... Du bist ein sehr guter Handwerker! Hier im Land der Verblödung wäre all das wieder verboten. Trotzdem werde ich versuchen die Biogasanlage eines Tages nachzubauen.
Thank you so much! Better you collect bullshit from your neighbour's pasture than from the political bullshit on the media. Quality control is everything.
About time! Thank you! I've been telling ppl do this with there septic tanks add some mulch & let it gas up. If can design a drain pump dehydrator can add some more mulch sticks scraps press into bricks or pellets preferably bricks wrapped in something so don't have to touch it. . Burn in fireplace. If pellets can burn in gasifier make more gas & heat house & water. Add some water tanks & pipes you can make a steam generator all winter. Never go could again! No shit!? Phone a friend tell them to come over for the day
i totally get the concept. but: 1) why make the inlet so far up that you need a chair to fill it? 2) how do you get the gas into a storage container like a rubber boat, a truck tire-hose or a big PVC Baloon? 3) why is there no shutter in the input or fertilizer extraction pipe to keep gas from escaping or creating explosive atmosphere with incoming atmospheric air? thx!
I've just found this channel and I think it's got some great contents. Also, I like your mentality as it shines through in your work and speech. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
great Video. but is it working? It would be interesting to have details on the way you keep it running, what maintenance is required, how often to feed ,an for how long the gas is good from an IBC
I would add that with the effluent pipe higher then the Gas Outlet, you risk getting effluent in the Gas as well. Additionally, the effluent should probably also be much lower then the intake side. The liquid will seek an equilibrium and while the gas can and will hold it back (on the gas pipe), the level will still seek to equalize on the intake and effluent pipes.
Just imaging if all homes had their own biogas mini plant save a fortune if you could produce enough to store and at enough pressure to run a boiler or cooker on save an absolute fortune
Seems like you are on the right track BUT how do you collect the gas off the tank if it is vented to not build up pressure? The black "up" tube with "drop down" tube dosrnt seem to have a way to seal and don't know what the bucket on the tube purpose is. I did not see any way to shut these tubes off. The only way to collect gas at this point would be to pump it off instead of collecting it under natural pressure and even that would iffy considering the vents.
Good day, and greetings from France, enjoying your videos and workmanship !! Can you please tell me what the make & model is of the plastic welding tool you used to weld the top of the blue drum to the 1000L tank ? A very versatile and useful tool indeed !! Thank you.
Hi to France, here is the link for the plastic welder, the one that i used in the video is an old genereation close to 30 years it is an Wegener WEG 08 220Volt 800 Watt . The new welders you can find here: www.wegenerwelding.de/DE/produkte/schweissen/warmgas/Duratherm2.html
@@dsfarmns2823 Thank you so much for your quick reply, will go and look straight away, just bought a 500L tank to get going on the project. Keep well & happy.
Why is the liquid outlet pipe higher than the gas outlet? Doesnt the gas outlet fill up with liquid? Wouldn't it make more sense to the have the gas outlet higher than the liquid? Why do you have the liquid outlet and inlet so high?
The pipe from the liquide outlet ends 2 inch above the bottem of the container and if the gas in the container build up a little pressure it will push out the liquide from the bottem of the tank. The hight of that outlet is regulating the pressure of the tank if the outle is higher you have more pressure.
It is always the same the big wins and the small looses but right now they cant get any tax out of it wich is good for now and we work alway on new projects to be more self sufficient but to make videos out of it takes time but coming soon
If like your concept but I don't have a plastic welder since bucket lids are designed to seal to the bucket I figure if I cut the center out of a couple of lids one should be able to be ovaled enough to fit into a hole in the top of the tank then used as a bottom ring to bolt the two bucket tops together one inside the tank and the other outside once bolted and sealed the bucket can be put on top of the lid creating a gas collection dome also I also don't trust uniseals also their expensive and they have to be ordered so toilet flanges are a great idea but why make rubber seals why not use the proper toilet seals you can get them in a foam rubber type
I think that could work, in our case a bucket is not big enough that the heating coil fit inside but if you maybe make the coil smaller it would fit look at biogas part 4 Videolink ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a8PIyj8plhk.html
Hi. I need to ask, I made a biodigester, but so far I'm still waiting for the cow feces. however, I've been putting waste in it for three weeks and now I can see that it's even moldy. Can I add the feces to it or should I put all the moldy stuff away and clean it up? thank you for answer.
Can I use only food waste for gas production? or do you have to use animal manure? Can I manage to produce enough gas to heat my house? approx. 140 m2 and winter temperature "tops" of -10 celsius degrees. (approx. 10 days during the winter) otherwise 0 to -5c. for 4 months.
You can use food waste, you need the cow dung only to start the process with the right bacteria. If your system is big enough and you have enough food waste or biomass in the winter time to feed the bacterias and you can keep your digester warm enough it will work, i am sure
Because the flanges, the heater and the mixer are not fit in the small original opening and it is way easier to clean out if you have to. Please watch BIOGAS part 2 , 3 and 4 that would explain it.
Hi I know this is an old video but I was just wondering if you or anyone else who watches can answer if you need 'fresh' manure to start it off with the bacteria? I have some horse manure but it's almost broken down its still a little bit fresh in places. I'm guessing the bacteria are still present in the composting manure pile? I was just hoping I could start one with that or I'll have to go back to the farm and find a fresh bit off the top of the pile lol
I couldn't believe it, but ther was a subsciber a while ago he bought cow manure packaged in bags at the garden store and used it to start the digester. If the micobes are not dath it should work.
This design has a a big problem. The slurry will be pushed out of the gas outlet due to the hydrostatic displacement of the digestate outlet which is installed too high. Rule of thumb is 20 cm of displacement.
No it works absolut grate just the water is coming out and no slury the the fertelizer outlet , it can not come out at the gas outlet because of the dome there is never any liquide inside the dome
Because the flanges, the heater and the mixer are not fit in the small original opening and it is way easier to clean out if you have to. Please watch BIOGAS part 2 , 3 and 4 that would explain it.
@@dsfarmns2823 Haha I wanted to see if I get gas at all first. So, dunked a bit of canadian tire cow manure the first time into a bottle and have a pipe hanging out the lid for the flame test. But no flammable gas. I next tried incoulating the cow manure with some chicken meat. It now stinks like h2s but no flammable gas again so was wondering if u have any suggestions? I am trying this here in Antigonish
It could be that the cow manure from Canadian tires has been heated before packaging, in which case no bacteria will survive. And the biomass needs at least 35 to 37 degrees Celsius, like the body temperature of a cow's stomach. I would try to use fresh cow dung direct from a cow and I would conect an air ballon to the outlet hose from the bottel to see the gas production. A Bottel is realy small a 5 gal bucket with lid make more sense and you should daily feed it with biomass.
Yes it make sense it is sipel physics, both pipes are ending close to the bottem of the tank and if you fill liquide in there is a gas pillow build up at the top of the tank where the gas outlet is and if the pressure of the pillow is high enough the liquide left the tank at the overflow higher outlet = higher gas pressure. And because the inlet is a little higher than the outlet it seals the inlet with liquide and the used liquide is leaving the tank at the oposite side of the tank at the outlet ( overflow). The Gas pressure is also relateted to the weight on the plate that keeps the blader preeed together. It shold be the right wight if you dont want to blast the digester.
@dsfarmns2823 I see. internal build up, with the pressure pushing the liquid where it's supposed to be. Sure, 👌🏼 Don't use all the gas because then liquid up the line. lol but I get your idea now.
The music adds nothing, and is to loud. As you add your voice during post you need to speak up, enunciate AND TURN OFF THE NOISE. Then expliane what each part is for or does
Please KILL THE MUSIC IT'S DISTRACTING FROM THE NARRATIVE which is what we'd much rather hear. Viewers are here to learn what you have to share, not listen to country music.
