For those wondering, yes, this can be connected to a toilet. I volunteered at a farm where they had toilets hooked up to a system like this. Instead of flushing you use a sort of pump thing that isn’t too much of a hassle (just crank the handle up and down a little) and that’s the only difference
@@user-ph3vd5rl8l you can clean your toilet with lemon juice, vinegar, etc. if youre recycling your waste water, you generally switch to biodegradable cleansers.
Lol...I was not wondering...but now that you mention it... that was a clever question. (the food scraps idea is probably why I didn't think of other waste 😅)
@@yuki_musha but to be fair, it's the carbon from the current circle, by plants which took it out of the atmosphere recently, which is a lot better than pumping the million years old carbon from fossil fuels back into the air.
Methane is 25x more potent that CO2 as greenhouse gas. It is better to burn it than release it. Poorly capped oil wells and agriculture are the main sources.
This is perfect for off-grid situations and undeveloped locales. I’m thinking of communities that have traditionally used wood for fuel or encampments for war refugees and people displaced by natural disasters. I assume human waste could be a suitable material. Wonder if this could be scaled up for larger systems or adapted for emergency situations.

@@metalicminer6231 Hey! It can be confusing for sure. The part that helps to understand this is that methane is 25 times more potent than co2. When we burn off the methane it turns to water caper and CO2. The system is just ridding us of methane that would naturally occur from the food scraps if left to a land fill. Hope that makes sense!
@@TheUnholyPosole it’s just like how water has an essential role in our bodies, but too much of it can do harm (you ended up flushing out all of the essential nutrients). Everything in nature wants to be in equilibrium- or balanced - so when something is added, in this case anthropogenic CO2, the system is no longer in balance it’ll either have an extreme opposite reaction to make it even or it stays unstable until the source of the problem goes away. Neither of those options is good for humans so we’d like to limit our CO2 production (how much we’re influencing atmospheric chemistry). Hope this was informative! :)
A long overdue project I have been wondering for years why this has not been utilized in all countries for clean energy usage spread the knowledge its long overdue 😊
This may be new information for you, but in India, there was a time when each village had at least 10 to 20 families who had what was called a "GOBAR gas setup." Even today, my grandparents' house still operates with this setup.
Thats interesting. I once stumbled over info on a smallish Indian steam engine contraption, that was produced to date and was used to power a multitude of stuff, including alternators for electricity. Cant find back to that info, which irks me a bit.
Carbon dioxide (commonly abbreviated as CO2) is a clear gas composed of one atom of carbon (C) and two atoms of oxygen (O). Carbon dioxide is one of many molecules where carbon is commonly found on the Earth. It does not burn, and in standard temperature and pressure conditions it is stable, inert, and non-toxic.

For those wondering, yes, this can be connected to a toilet. I volunteered at a farm where they had toilets hooked up to a system like this. Instead of flushing you use a sort of pump thing that isn’t too much of a hassle (just crank the handle up and down a little) and that’s the only difference
Thank you! I was thinking… _”hmm I don’t have a cow…but I make poop..?”_ (::Eyeballs the biogas digester optimistically::)
He uses the water as fertilizer, while toilet water contains chemicals from cleaning. I'd say that's the second difference
@@user-ph3vd5rl8l you can clean your toilet with lemon juice, vinegar, etc.
if youre recycling your waste water, you generally switch to biodegradable cleansers.
Lol...I was not wondering...but now that you mention it... that was a clever question.
(the food scraps idea is probably why I didn't think of other waste 😅)

Very cool. I worked for a startup building these on a large scale!
Incredible demo of a scalable system. Genius!
That's a pretty damn cool system. Dosent look super expensive either
Static electric ignition enters chat:
We have a full scale bio gas plant at our farmhouse and if you purify the bio gas it becomes bio cng and you us it to run vehicles.
Can you show us how to make a mini diy model of this please

Not really
Methane is dangerous and leaking it to air is a disaster
Not the planet tho
@@UnTerHosenDan😂😂😂
Honestly so creative! And refillable fuel very excited to see what you come up next🤩
I‘m not sure if we could call it clean fuel. Methane is a much more effective greenhouse gas than CO2.
@@peterschmeier3423 That and the fact that the product of methane combustion is... carbon dioxyde (and water). It's not clean fuel at all xD
@@peterschmeier3423when you Release it its more Dangerous but if you burn Methan its just water and CO2
@@yuki_musha but to be fair, it's the carbon from the current circle, by plants which took it out of the atmosphere recently, which is a lot better than pumping the million years old carbon from fossil fuels back into the air.
Methane is 25x more potent that CO2 as greenhouse gas. It is better to burn it than release it. Poorly capped oil wells and agriculture are the main sources.

C02 isn't a problem. We need more of it. But i love your setup.
This is perfect for off-grid situations and undeveloped locales. I’m thinking of communities that have traditionally used wood for fuel or encampments for war refugees and people displaced by natural disasters.
I assume human waste could be a suitable material.
Wonder if this could be scaled up for larger systems or adapted for emergency situations.
You wouldn't want to use human feces if you plan to use the liquid to fertilize your crops
Very good questions. I'm wondering if it will work in very cold areas. I have an native friend who would live to live full time up north in his traditional area but it's expensive to transport fuel there.
@@simonesmit6708 They work poorly when the outside temperatures are below 50F.
@@teebob21 could maybe use the sun to warm it up and keep it at an optimal temperature kinda like a solar water heated shower thing
@@Electedsphinx40 The bacteria go dormant and begin to die off when the temperature drops at night. I'm in the US in growing zone 5a and it's too cold to operate a biodigester here in fall and winter.

This is some exciting shit! 😂. I absolutely love what you are doing, when I have land I will be implementing the systems that I'm learning about on your channel Thank you, thank you!
Literally, exciting shit!
LOL
And thank him for not telling about what methane and burning methane does to the atmosphere
@@kylelaughinghouse1893 While methane itself is a greenhouse gas, it burns cleanly when used as a fuel.
I saw a video 50 years ago where they did this in India. Not as sophisticated as this set up, but it worked just as well.
Where do we get this?
2 hours of cooking time a day? That's pretty damn good
Bullshit is the fuel of the future baby!!
Imagine you cook the scraps of that meal just turn back to methane SICK
Edit this is a joke you still need to ad some gas most liky
@@volkano6991 this is basically a cows stomach. The bacteria will eat and decompose the food the same way. If they have a couple of dairy cows their poop will give them plenty of refresher material.
Would like to see more of this. More in depth.
When will you show us how to build one
Realistically speaking, if a zombie outbreak ever occurs and people come running to him for help, he'll either have to
1: accept and expand
2: decline

Amazingly simple. Congrats on one of the few youtubes that someone can learn from.
Simple maths says he isn't saving 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, complete nonsense.
@@metalicminer6231how explain?
@@marcuspiercr6392 he's only putting in about 2kg of scrap a day, not even a tonne a year, so where's the 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide coming from.?
@@metalicminer6231 its not 1:1 ratio, is it?
@@metalicminer6231 Hey! It can be confusing for sure. The part that helps to understand this is that methane is 25 times more potent than co2. When we burn off the methane it turns to water caper and CO2. The system is just ridding us of methane that would naturally occur from the food scraps if left to a land fill. Hope that makes sense!
As an environmental engineer, this brings me joy 😁 that’s so cool
...so why is CO2 bad, given it's an essential role in our ecosystem?
@@TheUnholyPosole it’s just like how water has an essential role in our bodies, but too much of it can do harm (you ended up flushing out all of the essential nutrients). Everything in nature wants to be in equilibrium- or balanced - so when something is added, in this case anthropogenic CO2, the system is no longer in balance it’ll either have an extreme opposite reaction to make it even or it stays unstable until the source of the problem goes away. Neither of those options is good for humans so we’d like to limit our CO2 production (how much we’re influencing atmospheric chemistry). Hope this was informative! :)
@@nikoleditzler7250This answer is the best of all the information I have heard about CO2 and its harm.
Agreed, this is so nice ! If I ever get sone land I 'll think about installing 2 of those 😂
Then you should know methane is worse for the environment than CO2 🤦♂️
Id do this if there was a video on how to do it start to finish
We used to have this in India.
It used to produce enough gas for cooking, never used electricity, natural gas for cooking.
Used cow manure.
You sir deserve the likes and subscription
I love this idea and would use this with more space. Great homesteading idea too. We need large versions of this for urban areas.
It’s a huge fire hazard, so good luck getting that legalized anywhere urban
Actually we don't need urban areas
Until ur kid poke it with a nail
Where do you get one of those?
😮 where I can find this?
That is quite advanced in utilization! Good work bru
This is awesome! Video so well done. Would love to see more detail on this! Great job!
A long overdue project I have been wondering for years why this has not been utilized in all countries for clean energy usage spread the knowledge its long overdue 😊
We need more of this!!! 🎉

This may be new information for you, but in India, there was a time when each village had at least 10 to 20 families who had what was called a "GOBAR gas setup." Even today, my grandparents' house still operates with this setup.
Nice lies, mf trying to say his grandfather invented this method 100 years ago 💀💀
Your grandfather was eating cow dung 100 years ago 🐄🍖🐄🍖🍖
Hell yeah! I had studied about Gobar Gas Plant in NCERT Class 10 Geography book Chapter - Minerals and Energy Resources !
Don't think he said it's new information anywhere
Thats interesting. I once stumbled over info on a smallish Indian steam engine contraption, that was produced to date and was used to power a multitude of stuff, including alternators for electricity. Cant find back to that info, which irks me a bit.
@@josedorsaith5261Indians like to elevate themselves 😂. Always
This should be used on a large scale in developing countries!
I want to implement that on my homestead one day. That seems pretty cool.
This is really useful! We use this in most houses in India
You guys are the gold standard for saving this planet. Just amazing.
Carbon dioxide (commonly abbreviated as CO2) is a clear gas composed of one atom of carbon (C) and two atoms of oxygen (O). Carbon dioxide is one of many molecules where carbon is commonly found on the Earth. It does not burn, and in standard temperature and pressure conditions it is stable, inert, and non-toxic.
