I like how you do that make a shower out of them

If you find you want more thermal energy just try insulating the hot water return. You might be losing 30 to 50 watts per meter of exposed pipe depending on the temperatures. Any wind and rain would make that far worse.

Nicely done. Great going Ben

Great work. I did not even know you could get manual crimpers. I am really glad it all went so well and you have hot water. Really great work.

Good job. You are a genius.

Good job maybe you should take up plumbing 🤔

BBQs are the perfect application for biogas. Warm weather increased gas production and the need for outdoor entertaining.👍

Awesome!

do you put all your human waste and toilet paper in?

That is an annoying bird

someone else doing this ibc shower idea used a pallet in the bottom for standing on which looked really good. i like the open top and the open doorway. nice bush touch

Also why not add your human manure?

Ever tried adding grass clippings or leaves?

hey man wanting to go down this route. the excess fert. Woodchips/carbon will absorb nitrogen as part of its process of breaking down which it will release in a slowing once it it the degrades. Example fresh woodchip can take 2-3years to breakdown, this can be fasten by mixing in compost etc or in your case pour your excess fert on your woodchip pile (when wood chips go from woodchips to dark woody mulch/almost woody soil = one of the best food resources for worms (worm farm)....

Look at 12 Volt water pumps and a 12 Volt deep cycle battery to pump water through your on demand heater. That's working well for us. Throw a Solar Trickle Charger on the battery to keep it topped off.

This is BRILLIANT!! Mr Heater makes a propane shower with its own pump so all you need is water.

Excellent !!!!!!!! 😀

Thank you - you saved me a lot of time and heartache!

Bless you mate ✌️

Well done dad.. There should be more dad's like you 🙂

Who’s that guy on the Sherco? He’s awesome!

This is cool. You are cool- even the advert I had to watch at the beginning was cool! You're going to nail this KZbin thing

Thank you

Good crack mate. Each tasks grows your knowledge base champion.

Good job

Our glampers can't even get their toilet paper into the hole in a Porta potty or their trash into the bin, we were going to do composting toilets but I have zero faith that people would not turn it into a disgusting mess even with step by step instructions.

Plus ,,you didnt make a mistake ,,when theres no gas in the shops you will be very happy you have this ,, 👌🎶♥️

Id like to know the capacity of the gas storage ,,as you know its about 2 1/2 hours gas ,, As i have horses ,im interested in this ,can it work on manure alone ,,? As my food waste is very low and i have chicken for that.😁🐔

Do you need to clean it from time to time and empty it?

Nice work with improving the set up Ned. Keep at it mate.

Hello Ned well done

I would get food scraps fro local restaurants

Great video, have you considered letting neighbors to give their food scraps. They could take some of the liquid fertilizer back rather than buying it in the store?

Great video, what size biogas did you buy? and if you're putting in 1-1.5kg of food scraps per day how much gas are you getting from that? their website says 1kg of food scraps is about an hour of cooking? also since making the video did you find any solutions?

set it up so the poop from youre family of 5 goes in there and you will be able to cook all youre diners and more...

Love the background sound track 😊 Lots of good suggestions here. My 3 suggestions. 1. Chop your scraps finer. 2. Make sure it keeps warm...38 degrees is best. The also hate big swings in temperature...so maybe bury the sides in leaf litter compost. 3. It is easy to add more gas storage ... bladders, water sealed vessels...just don't ever forget it is flammable gas!

Rabbits. That's what you need to produce feedstock for the biogas generator.

Thanks for the vid!

Hey Ned will it be hard to repair? Or will you need a completely new build. I am guessing by looking at most of the trees in the back ground it will get most of them done. Good vid mate love your work. BTW great to hear your going to get a saw mill and use some of your resources. Good luck with the DA and everything else mate.

Really appreciate the effort to show us a real use case 👏. Try using a trad pressure cooker on the burner you will get more bang for your gas buck.

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking into these and have had ?'s and a few doubts but you have cleared them up

Thank you for this long awaited video

I have a project which involves drilling into rock boulders.... may I know which drill and bit this is...?

Ha ha ha 😂 love the worm at the end wriggling towards the bio-char !! Great vid, well done from one Aussie to another 😊

Which model unit is this? A 2 or 4?

Thank you!!! You gave me lots of food for thought I would not have considered!

Where one does not have a lot of food waste, one can supplement with grass clippings to get more biogas production. Even though a small digester may come with warning not to use grass clippings because it takes longer to digest, its no big deal because your digester is already under utilized. Just add a few grass clipping and let it digest longer. It will be fine. My wife and i hardly have any food waste and im considering making a digester for grass clippings, and maybe ocasionally suplement with food waste. It should not be too hard to make and add inline supplemental gas bladers.

Thanks for your video. It helps people understand there is a learning curve involved in using biogas. That is a good thing because fully understanding the process allows for less dependence on 'the grid', which one day might not exist... I have been using the same unit in South Island NZ now for nearly 2 years. I find it produces the right amount of gas for the volume of food waste a person or family produces on a weekly basis. IE: the more people, the more food waste, the more gas produced. We are now using two biogas stoves from our unit, this by setting up a second gas bag for additional gas storage to take advantage of times when a stove is not used. I have also installed the biogas toilet (for a single person use) which adds to input volume. Also recently, I got a garbage disposal unit and sink bench from our local recycle centre ($30 investment) which turns even chopped up waste into soup and increases digestion many times faster. I promote domestic biogas digesters, - the way of the future..!
