If you used a specially fitted air compressor you could keep the excess in tanks. Once the tank is pressurized a few valves would keep the rest in check
Actually, with the weighted bags, you could probably devise something similar to an Amish Pump, where once the pressure in the gas chamber rose above a certain point, a check-valve would open, and then trigger the compressor to kick on and pump it into a canister, and then once the pressure drops below a certain point, another check-valve closes, and kills the compressor.
@@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.
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 😅)
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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! :)
@@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 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!
@@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!
While it is emitting CO2, the carbon source for it is food scraps, not fossils, so it's not releasing carbon that was permanently sequestered in the crust. That said, it better not be leaking a lot of that methane, since that's an even more potent greenhouse gas.
Exactly… Don’t understand whats all the hype is about, it just might be cheaper for you to use instead of cooking gas, but it doesn’t help the environment really…
@@shalevshabtai547 Well it really depend on the treatement of the food waste. If it was to go to a landfill then you can says that the methane would have been released in the atmosphere. Since the methane is a more potent greenhouse gaz burning it DOES reduce it's effect. But yeah it doesn't "reduce CO2 emmision" it increase it
@@fabienherry6690 landfills, don’t just release things into the atmosphere. They literally do the same thing as him. They then sell that gas for fuel. And after they are full, they cover the whole thing and turn them into parks, while still collecting the gas. I really don’t understand why people are so against landfills. We aren’t a third world country. It’s not just a 4 story tall pile of garbage left forever.
To be fair, the scraps in soil would've been part of carbon cycle eventually so these are already pre-existing carbons in our system unlike fossil fuels. That said, most pollution damage comes from industries, not individuals. So it doesn't really matter in larger scheme of things how much they save compared to the grid alternative.
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 3: decline forcefully 4: kill Due to having not enough resources
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.
Neat design for the septic tank. And using the methane on the daily is very valuable. This design would help a lot on land fills (my country) or water treatment plants like the case of the US. The tech is old but the design is new for those wondering...

@@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.

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 😅)

this is commonly used in villages in India.. It is called "Gober Gas". Here gobar is Hindi word which means Dung, so Gobar Gas means Gas from Dung.
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.

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.
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 🤦♂️
ah yes, automatic methane farm
C02 isn't a problem. We need more of it. But i love your setup.
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.
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.

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!
It prevents 0 CO2 emissions. Burning methane produces CO2.
While it is emitting CO2, the carbon source for it is food scraps, not fossils, so it's not releasing carbon that was permanently sequestered in the crust.
That said, it better not be leaking a lot of that methane, since that's an even more potent greenhouse gas.
Exactly… Don’t understand whats all the hype is about, it just might be cheaper for you to use instead of cooking gas, but it doesn’t help the environment really…
@@shalevshabtai547 Well it really depend on the treatement of the food waste. If it was to go to a landfill then you can says that the methane would have been released in the atmosphere.
Since the methane is a more potent greenhouse gaz burning it DOES reduce it's effect.
But yeah it doesn't "reduce CO2 emmision" it increase it
@@fabienherry6690 landfills, don’t just release things into the atmosphere. They literally do the same thing as him. They then sell that gas for fuel. And after they are full, they cover the whole thing and turn them into parks, while still collecting the gas. I really don’t understand why people are so against landfills. We aren’t a third world country. It’s not just a 4 story tall pile of garbage left forever.
To be fair, the scraps in soil would've been part of carbon cycle eventually so these are already pre-existing carbons in our system unlike fossil fuels.
That said, most pollution damage comes from industries, not individuals. So it doesn't really matter in larger scheme of things how much they save compared to the grid alternative.

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 💀💀

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.

I would take a more industrial under the ground solution - but love the idea
Neat design for the septic tank. And using the methane on the daily is very valuable. This design would help a lot on land fills (my country) or water treatment plants like the case of the US.
The tech is old but the design is new for those wondering...
If only corporations cared this much about environmental protections and sustaining a clean output
They did, u just didnt realize, big dairy farm or other livestock farm have a methane digester and the methane connect to the gas line
There is definitely gonna be some big argument here later
@@idcashflow if they cared about anything other than profit you'd know
but burning methane release Co2...
if all 300 million people in the states had this, it would make no impact on the environment. You’ve heard of china right.

It’s a huge fire hazard, so good luck getting that legalized anywhere urban
