HomeBiogas Pulsating Gas: Our troubleshooting and fixing pulsing biogas - It wasn't what we thought!

We spent some time earlier this year trying to find the source of fluctuating gas at our HomeBiogas burner.
I thought I knew what was causing the gas to pulsate and fluctuate on our Homebiogas...but it wasn't what we thought!!!
Disclaimer: this video shares how we solved our fluctuating gas problem. But please remember that working with gas does come with health and safety risks like inhalation and flammability. We aren't advocating others work with gas and you may need to use a licensed gas plumber. Do what is required in your area and safe please.

Thanks. I am planning to install one at my farm so this was very helpful. Should work well in subtropical tempratures.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

So glad you found this helpful. You should most definitely see better gas production than us. As I do see it produce much better here in Summer vs our cooler winters.

[@simplyoffgrid-australia]

What a wonderful video! Great problems solving. I really like how you often show it’s not always smooth sailing. Nice to see a little cameo from Mr Bush Edge😊. Thanks for sharing Rachel.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Things definitely don't always go perfectly in reality around here!!! 🤣😂🤣 We needed a team effort on that one 😀

[@lennieadi]

Great video. Shows the real issues with bio gas. Love it. Thanks ever so much

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

So glad to hear this feedback it is helpful 😀

[@sfcroman]

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Thanks a bunch 😀

[@rentedspace7462]

Thanks for another great video

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Thanks a bunch 💗

[@lancewylie8604]

Good fix Rachel a good bit of engineering and troubleshooting there

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Thanks a bunch Lance. A bit of a quick fix in the end... but still working 😀

[@kellycarver2500]

Good job. In some of the other videos, they have a bottle for the water to drip down into, and when it's full, they empty it. (at the low spot, to collect the condensation). That may make it easier to see the water level?

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Eb Every so often when I pass by, I just turn the valve. Having that section hanging below to collect is so good as it can fill a bit before blocking. I think the idea of something visable like the bottle is goid, but I would striggle to see it in that low point being in the pit. My goodness it took a bit of chasing to find that low point that had subsided that day!

[@kellycarver2500]

@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus Well, you did a great job finding it. And I posted t I have been a targeted individual the last 30 years, and every American needs to HEAR MY STORY, because what the monsters did to ME, they are now doing to YOU ALL. When the criminal harassment by agents started in 87-88, they had a legit right to watch me. At the time, I was young and wild and dating a drug dealer. I stopped dating him and stopped all drug use in 88, but the harassment never stopped. They have tapped every phone, hacked every computer and criminally and repeatedly entered every home i have lived in during these years since. I now don't leave my home unless I hire a house sitter because the filthy agents refuse to STAY OUT OF MY HOME. I couldn't understand for years, WHY they were targeting me. I'm married, don't do anything illegal and am a Christian since 94. It wasn't until 2018 that I knew WHY. I was sick with a skin disorder that I am now convinced was another bioweapon being tested on us. I was examining my skin with a magnifier when i found strange, matching sets of holes in my inner wrists and knees. They looked like tiny tunnels, but couldn't be seen with the naked eye. I had no idea how they got in my skin, and I hadn't seen any doctors or taken any shots in years. So I got out a sterile needle and opened up those holes and took samples from them and viewed it under my microscope. (A hobby I have had many years.) I was speechless at what I found. I t was a clear, COMPUTERIZED GEL, and it was laid out in a ladder shaped grid system, that had tiny rice shaped batteries around it's outer perimeter. It had pine tree shaped antennas that had perfectly symmetrical branches with metallic looking little balls on the tip of every branch. It was slowly collapsing it's structure as it cooled to room temperature. I had never seen anything like it in my life. Finding this tech in my body explained many things I had wondered about the last twenty years. It explained why I heard a man's voice in my head sometimes. It explained why he pretended to be GOD that the things he said weren't always Godly. It explained why things got moved or hidden from me during my sleep, and why I was WATCHED CONSTANTLY through my OWN EYES. The FILTHY, DISGUSTING, LOWLIFE MONSTERS HAD HACKED MY BRAIN, and it was WORSE THAN RAPE! I told my local chief of police, when I reported finding it, that at least a woman can HEAL after being raped. There is no 'healing' from this, according to what Elon Musk says in his videos. He sells this stuff, though I cannot imagine why ANYONE in their right mind would EVER want it!! I found a picture of it right on DARPA'S website, under Obama Brain Initiative. I KNEW what would be in the vax when they said one was coming, and unfortunately, I was right. Dr Carrie Madej, and Dr Ricardo Delgado were some of the first to identify it in the shots. It's also in the masks/tests, and swabs, and NOW they are putting it in our FOOD/BEV AND MILK!!! I am here to tell you that this absolutely EVIL tech from HELL is FAR MORE than 'gene therapy'!!! It lets the filthy monsters see and hear every thought we have! It lets them talk to us mentally. It lets them even TAKE OVER OUR BODY during certain stages of sleep, and use OUR BODY to do whatever they WANT TO, and we have little or no memory of it, much less any CONTROL OVER IT! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE SICK FREAKS ARE DOING TO US, and they MUST be stopped! I wouldn't do this to an ANIMAL, because even animals have a RIGHT to have PRIVATE THOUGHTS between them and GOD. They are also now putting this tech in all animal shots as well, HACKING ALL LIVING THINGS, so they can be REMOTE CONTROLLED by the sick freaks WHO THINK THEY ARE GOD! THIS TECHNOLOGY IS STRAIGHT OUT OF HELL ITSELF and the monsters MUST be held accountable for what they have done and are continuing to do! NOBODY HAD A RIGHT TO DO THIS TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE! NOBODY! EVER! The filthy monsters have been in MY BED, MY BATH, and MY BRAIN, the last TWENTY YEARS! Watching me through MY OWN EYES, while I bathed, changed clothes, any and everything, they SAW IT. HOW WOULD YOUI FEEL ABOUT BEING RAPED THIS WAY? I sure hope you didn't take the shots, use the other things, and God forbid you been drinking any MILK!! This stuff is called NEURAL LACE/HYDROGEL. Graphene oxide and polymer based tech that is straight out of Hell itself. Musk says it attaches to nerves and grows INTO the brain, and that it is PERMANENT. I pray to God he is wrong because I truly want my HUMANITY BACK! And he is LYING when he says that it cannot be injected through a normal needle, because it CAN if it is cold enough. It SHRINKS when it gets cold. It also doesn't need a CHIP, either, because it could easily make it's OWN! The stuff acts ALIVE in the body. Absolutely fascinating to watch. They are now putting this horror in animal shots, and other shots as well. NO MORE SHOTS, PPL, FOR ANY LIVING THING! DO NOT ALLOW THEM! They are also putting this stuff in our foods/bev and milk. Boiling or baking seems to disable it, but this needs done in professional labs to be verified. I will gladly answer any questions you may have. These monsters love to torture and kill helpless, innocent little animals and the freaks tortured and killed FOUR of my greatly loved little dogs. The last one, my favorite, was tortured EVERY MONTH for over NINE YEARS, before we busted the agents using our CELL PHONE to put out the frequencies that were CAUSING those seizures. We busted them RED HANDED, and there is no denying what they are doing. They were using FREQUENCIES to tweak the brain, CAUSING the seizures, and other death causing things. I call it RIFE IN REVERSE, because it is. I also call it the UNHOLY GHOST, because Satan mimics everything God does, in reverse. They finally killed him Thanksgiving Day of 22, after making him go BLIND, causing organ failure, and shocking him every couple hours the last two days, till he couldn't hold out any more, and died in my arms. People, please don't sleep by anything digital, and keep your animals away from them as well! We also busted them hacking our washer/dryer outlet, and gas stove, so keep your appliances UNPLUGGED when not using them! If you hear any device making a strange or unusual sound, BLOCK IT by coughing, whistling, clapping, etc. and shut the device off FAST AS POSSIBLE. You should also keep a hammer or glass breaker in your front seat while driving, as some have reported their loved ones were locked in their vehicles before being incinerated, as in Lahaina attacks. Also keep your kids CLOSE at all times, and do NOT trust ANY govt agents as they cannot be trusted now. his earlier but was likely deleted.

[@RadioJonesy]

Nice job

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Thanks a bunch Jonesy. It had us stumped there for a minute!

[@MyAussieGardenKitchen]

G'day. What a difference that made to the flames. Not sure what bit of your hard work was the most effective, but hey, you did it! 😁👍 Well done and enjoy. Daz.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Thanks Daz. And thankfully it is continuing to work a treat 😁 phew!

[@Bennie32831]

When we had a gas fridge on the station it needed regular cleaning from the small amount of debris in the gas that blocks the burner components and maby some PVC over the gas pipe line might help future pip squashing 👍✌️

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

You are spot-on about using a bit of pvc conduit in that spot. It is definitely on my to-do list!!!

[@zachariahstillwater]

Thank you

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

You are very welcome 😀

[@styledliving]

@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus you can plumb in a clear water filter housing at the low point, if you can find the right fittings. just put two ball valves on either end so you can shut off the gas before opening it. ideally you'd simply shim the inlet line as it goes towards the stove so you have a low point closer to the edge of the deck so you don't have to crawl in there to check/empty the housing as moisture collects inside.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

@styledliving I'm actually really suprised that the extra drainage point under the deck is always dry when I check it. But that sump point drainage point does release quite a bit of water. That fix I did in this vid is still doing the trick, but if it does subside again, I will need to do something longer term, so appreciate the pointers.

[@VinodSingh-kp9fx]

Great video and very helpful. Can you through toilet paper in the home biogas toilet? I saw in one of the videos that you have toilet paper next to the toilet bowl. Thank you.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Hi Vinod, I don't run a toilet connected system and run off other organic waste, so can't help with this query.

[@honey-bee-farmstead]

Oh I can't wait to get my Home Biogas up and running ❤ this was a really interesting video, thank you. Do you use solely that for cooking???

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

So glad you found it helpful Mel 😀 We do only use it for cooking and even that slows in the Winter. The gas production just isn't there in this system for more than that. Especially in our temps and throughput.

[@happycamper010]

Looks like the system needs some scrubbers it would stop that rust.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

There is a built-in carbon filter. But as you saw it only does so much. I good reminder for me though that I actually need to head out and change it again.

[@deanervik]

Wow no sign of a flash arrester at all…how does it prevent an accidental blowing up of the main gas bag?

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

Homebiogas themselves would probably best positioned to answer. But there is a question on this in their faqs... www.homebiogas.com/explore/faq/

[@livewild2559]

Interesting ... where are you located ?

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

In Victoria, Australia

[@livewild2559]

essentuallty , whats the imputs and whats the outputs , how much gas could you potentially make etc @@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

​@livewild2559 we pop in mainly organic kichen scraps. We keep a containerin the kitchen, which would be a couple of litre capacity. And that fills and goes in every one to two days. But in summer we throw in fallen fruit from our trees at times too. A full bag gives about an hour and a half on the burner max for us. Depends in practice on how much we turn it up, ie on full or not. The bag can fill in a day in summer, but when cold may take a couple of days in the winter. This is obviously all real life experience in our situation. But their website should provide averages across other geographies and usages.

[@livewild2559]

i emailed them , where in victoria is it ,just so i can guage conditions, could you put in more stuff like amimal poo etc@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

@livewild2559 they are not in Vic, this is where our family uses it (this is our personal use and experience in the video). The company itself is in Israel and they sell them worldwide. I hope you get the further info needed from them directly.
