Today i see how long about 800L of compressed biogas will last running a Honda eu2200i generator, and without a conversion kit

Great news, you can now get a conversion kit for around US$30 ! It's all on ALI-EXPRESS. I found one for $34 (6.5Kw) I haven't installed it yet but I know someone who has fitted their's and is loving it !!

Very interesting mate. May I suggest trying to put some pressure gauges on your fittings and observing them to see what the generator requires. Also perhaps use a watt meter and multimeter on the generator and run different loads to see what is being drawn from it. Might be able to get a happy medium or find optimum settings for certain loads to regulate use of your gas. We will be off grid soon and I plan on adding a biogas generator. Cheers 👍

My name is Mike. I have a method you'll like. It makes your generator safe. It's cheap. I've been doing conversation of gasoline to propane. My goal was to make it safe. Everything you were talking about I learned. Be Careful of running engine too slow because it will eat the brushes. But this all is exactly what I have been working on. With what I know now I wonder if I can run a v 8.

@tobiasganswindt54823 жыл бұрын
Looks great! What if you design a setup, where the generator is placed underneath an isolated biodigester? (You could basicly use small strawbunches.) An engine like that produces around 75% heat, that could keep the digester indipendend to the environmental temperatures. That would be even saver heating for the digester, than an open gas stove and you would get the same amount of electrial energy, as you get in your setup. Just it would be the „waste“ of the improved digestion process. Unfortinatly I don‘t have the opportunity to do it myself right now. But it would be cool to know, if it works out.
@ThePikeywayne3 жыл бұрын
I was thinking that an EGR (exhaust gas recirculator) heat exchanger could heat a water cylinder, maybe the water cylinder could in turn be a heat exchanger somehow with the digester

I am in the UK and I have built a generator exactly the same way as yours in an IBC - thanks to your excellent series of videos. I have added some fresh digestate from a commercial operation nearby and as you suggest, I am now waiting three weeks before adding my own food scraps. The digester is producing gas already. The question is do I need to add small amounts of fresh digestate (same as the original input) during that three week wait to keep the bacteria alive or will they be OK without any further addition until start feeding it in three weeks?
@danieltaurins863 жыл бұрын
Hi Phil, thanks for the kind words, i would think that if you sourced digestate from an already established digester, and if is producing BURNABLE gas, there should be no issue with feeding it food scraps now 👍

Yeah after going back to the previous vid with the generator where you run it off of gas for a while it doesnt sound like it knocks as much as in this vid off of biogas. I wonder how this effect could be midigated because I would love to do something like this in the future.

You should be arrested for practicing witchcraft ! What a fantastic idea though, if you can control the resultant heat and co2 output !! Perhaps, running the generator on a timer could be a decent workaround in terms of controlling the heat and co2. This is a nifty idea I could run with but, unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of space to start a greenhouse. All the best with your project.

Very likable youtuber! Looking to track down your latest one. Reading comments make me want to be asking a stupid question : Is it possible to compress out of one tank into another with the air compressor you have? Would the 160 psi in the first tank help the compressor shove more into the next tank?
@lukea1472 жыл бұрын
Love you work. Just wondering why you are bothering compressing it into bottles, just to regulate it back again? That's gotta be using ALOT of energy.. I'm thinking, why not just buid a mini compressor using a quality air diagphram pump and set it to maintain 2.75kpa (regular lpg regulated pressure) I'm thinking I have a lil 12v jabsco diaphragm water pump. It has a pressure switch in it, turns on to maintain 40psi. I open my tap, the pump turns on. It's low power and can run on my solar system, I'm sure something similar could be done with biogas. And you can just use a long airline to go to various areas (kitchen, garage etc). The energy in moving the bottles around alone is to much considering only an hour or so gas fits inside. Plus the electricy used to compress it to 100+psi would be so much more than the energy you are getting out of the gas.

They're called uniseals I Googled it and the company's that sells them popped up I'm just waiting for the ground to thaw lm going to dig down and move the shed over them want to see how it'll do for pressure if i put one tote on top of another hook the bottom one to the bottom of the top one fill the bottom one up with water so that as the methane is produced it will go in the bottom tote forcing the water from the bottom tote to the top tote to give the gas pressure i saw a video where they run the effluent from the first tank to the second tank giving it longer to digest you get methane from both tanks

I've been doing some research into biogas recently. I'm right now working on building a home and am planning on having 10kwh, worth of solar panels and 40kwh's of lithium batteries. (It's a bit overkill, but I'm doing it all DIY so the costs are relatively low) I want to be able to have a reliable backup for winter's or for prolonged cloudy weeks. I was initially planning on having a generac natural gas/propane generator that would kick in if the batteries dropped below 10%. Now I'm exploring using biogas instead of the propane, as I'll be using the fertilizer for my hydroponics, and not needing to rely on paying someone to refill the propane would be nice. Since it's going to be used sparingly (I should have close to 100% energy uptime from solar), I was thinking of installing a large underground propane tank and regularly pushing gas from a bladder into the tank. I know there is a lot that goes into a system like this, but having been using biogas, do you think it's feasible?

Lithium is over hyped. Look at the costs per kw for it and then there is no study on longevity in comparison to older battery technology which has been around for over 100 years steady and reliable.
