The most informative video on this subject that I have found yet. Thank you.

concise, clear, and no bs! thank you!

This is the best I have seen. Simple and informative and motivational at the same time. Very good.

I’ve seen some people use double blow up mattresses to store the gas, if you can’t find bladders. Then you could tee them together to increase capacity. On the plus side, it would allow you to put a flat board on top of the stack and sandbag it to give the required pressure, instead of pumping!

I've been thinking of this for a while and was looking for a good "how to" video, so thanks - I can't give you enough upticks! All the ideas I had were complicating the whole thing far too much. This is simple and doable and I can't wait to get started. Best wishes.

What a fantastic video, so well explained and inspiring.

This a trippy ass way to explain it in the opening. I like it. Simple construction instructions.

You guys are amazing! This is absolutely priceless!

Thanks a lot for this video! It the exact amount of intentionality and detail that I want! You rock.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have been eye balling this biogas stuff for awhile now. But trying to think about its viability here in Canada. I think after seeing this that I have found the solution here. This should complete my off grid system very nicely. Again thank you!!!!!

Great job on the illustration.

Excellent, so inspiring, thank you! I can't wait to implement this on my off-grid finca

Thanks to Mashav 2017, I had a hands on training on this simple but very useful technology. I hope to use it basically solve sanitation problem and use the efflueut to plant vegetables

I read "The Handbook of Homemade Power" when I was 14.. and studied deeply on these.. I had dug a hole in the yard, gotten barrels and many of the other parts, unfortunately, my parents made me fill the hole back in and I never finished. You have re-inspired me... Maybe I will build one of these for my farm sometime soon. There are 2 best temperature zones for anaerobic digestion 90 degrees F and 120-130 F. My thought is to tie this in to my greenhouse thermal mass system and use the excess heat to help better regulate the digester temps. Thanks for sharing!

Incredible, inspiring and so informative thank you!

Thank you for this video. It is exactly what I have been looking for. Now I can build one. Cheers

Brilliant explanation and design, thank you for sharing!

Top video. Looking forward to the video to teach how to scrub the gases produced of all impurities that will lead to the corrosion of pressurised storage and plumbing.

That is for taking the time to share those folks 👍💓🙏

Awesome video and design!!!😎👍

best video on the subject right now I'm sleeping in my car, lost my home due to Hurricane Micheal when it hit Florida, On social security due to Parkinson. could not afford house insurance. Probably get me a utility building next month to live in and maybe a use RV in 6 months,, Just got power back yesterday got a tent set up as well Studying up on as many ways as I can that I can be off the grid,, I do have to have the power lines running to my new place, but I will be using my power as much as possible

Best video I have seen thus far. Many thanks.

Awesome explanation. Thanks. Must try

This was awesome! I want to do this as soon as I can.

Very good technique and presentation.

Thank you so much for such a great video explaining and proving this can be done :)

Great tutorial. Whatehver, If You are stuck with diffrent designs, remember the basics. Digestion takes place în a sealed container, in order to be able to collect the gas.

I love it was a great information i will do this once i got back from my country

Amazing!!! thank u forcthis,easy to understand video. I will be using this soon.

Thank you very much for sharing with us all your knowledges about biogas. Thanks for your practical and clever ideas.

I have considered this for my home, but the things I have read indicate a small amount of gas is produced in a household sized system. This lead me to think of what else it could be used for, and I came to the conclusion that a green/grow house, lit/heated by gaslight would make sense. When I search for information on growing plants by gaslight, I get either ancient information, or weed growers referencing that ancient information to use with electrical light. I think a building that processes compost through chickens and the chicken waste through a biogas system, while growing plants, and producing fertilizer, would be a good fit in lots of urban areas.

Thank you from Zimbabwe. 2021 lockdown project.

Great stuff, I'm yet to try this in Mzansi(S.Africa) My country men don't share information. Once again great stuff

Well done. Very helpful.

Thanks, simple and cheap.

Great video, thanks for sharing

very informative. thank you for sharing..

Thank you Very much, Man!!

this is so cool..thanks for the idea.

Great stuff,

You might consider marking the pipes above the top of the tank, to indicate which direction the cuts and holes below.

Excellent must try to build this

Aside from the victimization 'hook' at the beginning, this was an extremely well done video. Straightforward and understandable.

Great video.

Great video man!...Great.

Thanks so much what a Awesome video

This is awesome!

TH You rock! Thanks for making this instructive video - very useful for teaching!

This is fantastic information.

So I’m currently doing vermicomposting, bokashi ferment and basic thermocomposting. Very curious about this as an addition or adjunct. Curious what the tea that comes out looks like under a microscope and how much gas can be produced from one of these on average. Seems like the amount of fertilizer out is the same amount of food waste in roughly.

Thank you so much !!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi there. Do you think a digester such as the one shown could provide enough energy to run a brewhouse kettle/hlt? My brewhouse is 4bbl (462 litres). Many thanks!

in cold climates placing the digester in the ground surrounded by grass clippings would likely increase the heat of the tank.

Excellent video

best video. thank u

If you use a hot water recirculating pump to limit how much water you waste in your house waiting for hot water when you turn on a faucet, I think you can add more loop so that you can heat the reactor. less water waste, no need to worry about the temps dropping

Do the intake and outflow pipes need to be capped to prevent gas escape when not feeding?

I just wanna ask something about the fertilizer outlet pipe, isn't it using a 3inch pipe? because I'm confused with the 2inch Tee and a 2 inch pipe. Any clarification is appreciated. Thanks.

beautiful. you've perfected it. i'll build one this spring. thanks.

If you have the time, space, and money why not?

O my friend how I so agree with what you said at the start of your very well made video. God bless you and keep you and thank you 👍

Thank you.!!

Would it be possible to build a digester out of a 12 inch PVC pipe and lay it horizontally? Feed it on one end, take the gas from the top and take the slurry from the far end? If so, this would open up a lot of possibilities as to where you could put it, and it would make it easier to connect it to your sink and its garbage disposal.

Thomas - I'm kinda obsessed with this topic for the various food waste reduction, reduced carbon footprint, and alternative fuel reasons and have been watching a number of your well-done how-to's - thanks!! I'd love to see what setup you did for the under-sink version at 6:24 as something that would work for we house- and apartment-dwelling masses? I've been all over your Solar CITIES website, too...love the mission! Cheers

This is awesome! Question though: The blue pipe, the gas extractor, how does it access the gas, as the hole drilled in it will be below the water line, set by the higher effluent exit pipe with the T join in it? Everything is so clear, but I can't figure that one out. Any help?

Great vdo.Thanks

Simplest design so far.

I love it.

I will do this for sure...

Awesome video, thanks! Quick question. I've built the 3ibc system. Now that it's all connected and producing gas, my slury out pipe is never exiting fertilizer. It does when I close off the gas as the pressure pushes it out. How do you balance this? Or do you occasionally close off the gas to get the fertiliser. Thanks!

Exactamente, lo que te ocurre es normal, ningún fluido va a ascender nunca por una tubería sin una fuerza que le obligue a ello. Si el consumo de gas es superior o igual al ritmo de producción la presión dentro del tanque va nunca a ser la necesaria para que el bioabono salga.

What kind of generator do you recommend for turning biogas into electricity? Does a propane emergency backup generator work? Or should I look for a diferent kind of gas generator?

good stuff!!

Very scientific explanation. I like your T fix method to prevent vapour lock. For a while, I was thinking about a single solution to purify both CO2 and H2S through a sustainable method. How about using NaOH or KOH solution to bubble through first? H2S becomes Na2S/K2S+H2O and CO2 becomes Na2CO3/K2CO3+ H2O. Then we can add a water container to bubble through to remove alkalinity in the gas in case. You can make the system locally sustainable if you use KOH solution made from wood-ash.

Would like to try this in the future whenever I buy myself a piece of land. Is it completely safe to compress the gas into gas tanks with psi indicator and valves? As to simply go outside and compress your tank and then bring it inside , hook it to your stove and begin cooking .

very good tutorial

Hi, wonderful video. Very clear. It´s there a possibility to get a list of materials please? Thanks

Good work

I’m about to move into my RV and would like to build my own biogas system. I’d like to feed it through my black and gray holding tanks. I’m in Florida so the weather is hot but for ease of feeding the digester should I bury the IBC tank next to the RV like I’ve seen in one of your videos? And where is a good source to buy the tank? And the gas storage bags? Thank you:-)

Bien explicado genial amigo

One of the best designs I've come across. I have to ask tho, if I wish to store the gas in cylinders; do we need to pressurize the gas? Do I need special equipment or tool for that?

@berkduran866

Yeah you both need to filter CO2 and H2S and compress it in medium size unf we cant store directly I thought to store like that too bast way is pvc bladders I guess if you don't have filter and compressor

Hello, could you please tell me where in Swaziland you built the digester?

holy shit so many great ideas for sustainability. I personally love the idea of using hot shower waster water for heating of the biogas generator

awesome graphics though. Very instructive

Hi Thomas, Interested in this gas collection system. Can I ask how you stop the pressure in the gas holder pushing back into the digester? I had an issue with slurry being pushed out of the feed and effluent pipes. Anyway all the best. Tanc

Thanks for sharing. Does the 2nd pipe have one hole or is it on both sides? Again Thank you
