    I don"t Know if you check your comments but if you do I would like to offer this: The Japanese I think it is have been building and using a village size version of these for many years and have perfected the design. As you are using barrels I think you could use many of their design features. 1 If you will add a 45 or 90 degree fitting to the bottom of your feed tube aimed along the edge of your barrel it will provide you with a stirring action when you are loading it this will speed up the fermentation time.
    2 add another barrel or more to act as gas holding tanks as they hold higher pressures, if you want you might add a in line pressure gauge to see what you total volume of gas is. In the Japanese design they use all types of slurry materials, Their systems are large concrete flattened ball tanks that are placed in the center of a village size community. All the houses and barns have feed pipes that run into the ball at a 45 degree angle along the outer edge so as to provide the stirring action I mentioned above. another feature they have is a large pound built over top of the ball. This serves a couple things, I protects against gas leaking and spountanioucly combusting, As methane can do when it is mixed with air in large quantities to fast ( very dangerous ) And it also provides for raising tallopia fish or catfish ( as these fish do not require moving water for oxagynation to live ) for food. with their systems they use a top unload man hole. but with you side extraction pipe I would suggest this barry the set of barrels into the side of a hill, with a man made pound on top with water level above tanks but below feeder tube. allow the run off line to go down hill to a point where you can collect it for use as fertilizer. ( the reason the Japanese can use human waist in their systems is because it is built from concrete and can build up inner temperatures of over 180 degrees so it kills harmful bacteria that will harm humans. By doing these things I think you will increase the amount of gas and possibly the rate at which it is produced, for sure the pressure at which it can be stored safely. Yes I've been studying these systems for many years now. Sorry for bad spelling Dislexia is a real bother lol

      Hi Kevin. Have you seen the digesters as they call them in India? Basically a huge very round concrete cylinder Placed on top of a slab in thd ground and sealed at the bottom. Than a slightly smaller inverted steel cylinder is placed upside inside the concrete one. This is charged from a valve in the top of the steel cylinder, and a " hydraulic seal ) is naturally formed in the gap between the 2 cylinders. As it ferments the steel cylinder rises up. This serves 3 purposes. You can monitor fermentation progress and the weight of the steel cylinder provides a small pressure to drive the gas out. When the cylinder quits rising any more , you know there us no more mojo left in the mix

    @tyfitzpatrick3606 2 года назад +34

    Good Job, Man! I second that the outflow tube can be higher on the barrel to increase the digesting volume which would increase possible gas production. The bacteria used doesn't need airspace, other than for the collection reservoir which could be bigger and have a removable weight of some kind that could be put on the reservoir to increase the gas pressure when you want to use it. People often pass the bio gas through a tube full of steel wool to scrub the NOx out before sending it to the reservoir ... The bacteria does need to be kept warm to work best, at least 75°F, If I'm remembering correctly... Hoping people find this on a community level as one of the solutions to the "energy crises" ... God bless!

    Hi. A really good project. I have a very small upgradation idea. You could make a gas scrubber to really purify the output gas. You will need three jars. Fill 1 st with water, 2nd with a drying agent like cat litter, and 3rd with steel wool. They will decrease the amount of waste gases in the output. Then you could use your lpg burner very easily. Oh and yes, you need a big gas reservoir to use it for 30 min. But in this way, this little tube could be used for more time.

    Nice video, if you want to increase the output you can try to build one from an ibc tank, its 1000 liters. At that size you start with 100 kilos of manure and food waste in about 900 liters of water. When it starts producing gas you can feed it with 40 liters of water and in that 4 kilos of manure/food waste daily. You may get an hour or two worth of cooking with a single burner. Who would think that handling manure was fun!

      Came here to suggest this.
      IBCs can be had very cheap and are perfect for this application. You can even get them in black so you can't see the contents.
      Plus they've already got a sealed lid for adding the "food" and a drain valve that you can buy fittings for on eBay.
      Another IBC with the top cut out of it and a few large tyre tubes the correct size to fit in it (when inflated) is a good reservior since you can place a sheet of ply wood or sheet metal on top with a weight to create a bit of pressure while containing the tubes keeping them safe from puncture.
      You can leave out the ball valve between the digester and reservior by adding a low pressure check valve, making it a bit more autonomous.

    🙂 Hi, your video is well made and very interesting. Remember to add a good backflash arrester to decrease the risk of explosion. If you try raising the height of the slurry pipe you could fit more in the reactor. Then it may produce more gas a little sooner. You may find the bacteria works better at a different temperature. If its cold it may wok better in a sunny position. If too hot maybe a shady position. I think, if the rector temperature was around 24c it would work very well. I would not let it get to hot though as it may effect the bacteria that produces the gas. Just trying to help 👍

      @@VIDEOEPPO why not ? Everyday 1 family will poop atleast 5-8 kg. Just try to collect it in the tyre tubes. I'm sure results would be extraordinary. And as far as aversion is concerned, people never have to take garbage in their hands from here to there like in your model. Once it's done, it's done forever.

      Livestock would be a good in-between. People are comfortable enough with it to use as fertilizer. Just put a grate over a collection bin in a pen and teach them to use that (there are RUclips how to videos on that). Also, if you can get your neighbors to separate out their glass and plastic, you could collect the rest of their garbage to add to the biodigester. Better than a land fill, right?

    Nice set up over all. Have you experimented with different ratios of waste and dung, perhaps using other types of dung from different animals? As soon as you lit it I thought about how there was no flash arrestor or some sort of pressure release valve at the top of the barrel. Anything that builds up pressure needs to have an emergency pressure release. Also perhaps include a pressure gauge to see how much pressure is being built up at a given time.

    It would be useful to put a stop valve on your tyres so that you can fill them, and remove them for later use.
    Having a system of three or four of these (or more) digesters cycling for use would make them more practical for daily use.

    What an awesome idea and yes, it is very exciting!
    I’m wondering if you use several barrels and connected to a bladder that collects the Biogas from all of the barrels but before entering the bladder, it goes through a three stage filter. Filter one is a bubbler filter. Two is brass filter. Three is silica. This is to be sure that the bad components that are typically in Biogas are removed.
    This is what I have learned because ultimately the end result would be to try and compress this Biogas into cylinders that can be distributed to other family members or friends that might want to use it for a Biogas generator in addition to cooking.
    One more note. It might be a good idea to also have another three stage filter identical to the first one on the opposite end of the bladder before it compresses into the cylinders.
    You have a brilliant mind and I am very appreciative of your presentation and we want to duplicate this on a large scale in the Philippines on our farm. Any thoughts would be absolutely appreciated, and I thank you kindly my friend!

    You can still use the tyre tube for storage but you'd likely have to pipe them in parallel to increase the storage. Alternatively something considerably larger like an inflatable water raft or even a tractor tyre tube for better storage.

    The only thing I would add to this already amazing video, is try running it through a water bubbler before reaching the tube. It will clean the gas before it gets burned and make the flame hotter. You could also use a bladder system to increse the volume of gas and pressure. You could also daisy chain two or 3 digester together to increse production

      waste comes out as slurry but if you want to remove it for some reason, need to add an opening in the bottom with a ball valve for emergencies. Add a storage tank which is larger let it fill to maximum and then start using it. Feed the digester regularly which is important

    Super output .One small idea for the gas out put pin you may use 1/2 inch coupling on the inner side to catch and use L bend and connect the nipple there so the gas hose cannot brake quick .Why I am saying this means you connect the nipple direct to drum it may open when the pressure increases tufflon tape may come out because of jelliness

    Hi, this is a great video. Thank you for the explanation, it is great to know that some ideas (siphon) would not work. I have one question though, which I cant find answer for. Do you ever need to remove the slurry manually? I can imagine being the bottom too solid to be removed via the pipe and it might get stuck at the bottom and build up over time. Does anyone here have experience with that?

    • @VIDEOEPPO
      @VIDEOEPPO  Год назад

      The solid waste will be turned into slurry over time. Also it's the ratio of how much you feed every day. You can feed half the tank and expect the microbes to eat it all up in a night. If you do want to remove the solid waste, then add another hole and close it with a valve. Extend the pipe and connect it to sewage or empty it in a pit and cover it with soil. Don't leave it in the open, undigested food waste will stink
