Heck, if something like this can be built for high duty-cycle use and engineered for 100-200A output, you could cut off the power company completely.<BR/><BR/>Even if you needed to replace it every 10-20 years, I'm thinking it would still be a good deal.theirritablearchitecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04105315709746689270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24325419.post-44439171515282129162007-02-08T15:28:00.000-07:002007-02-08T15:28:00.000-07:00Back in the Sixties, I remember reading about a fa...Back in the Sixties, I remember reading about a farmer who used to heat his shop and such with methane. He had a set up consisting of a 50gal drum, a large innertube (it functioned as a pressure regulator), and some assorted bits of plumbing that he cobbled together for next to nothing. Once a month he would dump out some nice compost for the garden, toss in a few shovels of horseshit, and it was off running in a few hours, pumping out methane to be used for heat.BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24325419.post-9113995223588093182007-02-08T14:58:00.000-07:002007-02-08T14:58:00.000-07:00The discovery channel showed a large one that coul...The discovery channel showed a large one that could conceivably take all of a cities carbon based waste and turn it into power for a large city.<BR/><BR/>It was powered by the methane given off by the rotting garbage.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550167783969561280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24325419.post-5762362946459976322007-02-08T14:21:00.000-07:002007-02-08T14:21:00.000-07:00It would be great for anyone to have for emergenci...It would be great for anyone to have for emergencies or those who live far away from power sources.
