Modifying camping stove and lamp to run on biogas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Almost any apparatus that runs on propane, butane or natural gas can be modified easily to run on biogas. Normally all you have to do is remove the pressure restrictor (which can be a pin or a small screw) so that enough gas can get where it is supposed to. Biogas is normally uncompressed so it won't force its way through the small apertures that have been set for pressurized gas. But once the restrictor is gone, it works like a charm.
Great job.. Regards from south Africa.
I am watching yr. videos since last summer more & less.
I remember yr. first experiments in the terrace of an house in Germany testing the Biogas production. I still have that video in my favorites.
No one in the web has yr. ideas and competence. Best compliments to you for what you are doing in Africa, Palestine and any other place.
People like you make the world a better place for everyone.

Hi Thomas, thanks for all the films, they have been a real help. I have built an insulated 55gl drum version with a 3d printer bed heater (24v 200w) which is working nicely. Due to its construction it could easily be run in the thermophilic range. Would you advise this and is it ok to change back and forth for the purposes of experimentation? Or once you are breeding thermophilic would you have to start again if you wanted to operate at the cooler mesophilic range? I’m off to look for a camping stove today! Btw I have learned that damp wood ash will strip out co2 very effectively and turns into hard pebbles that can be used as building material. Hey ho and cheers. Tanc
I drill a hole through the filter I use a three millimetre drill bit
I want to glow electric mantle lamp using biogas. How can I do that? Please make one video on that
could you do this is a propane portable water heater shower?
I suspect the "filter" you see in the end of the restrictor is actually the flame arrestor (simple ones are basically a screen). If you don't have one inline, you may want to add one.
A good care package if you want to help people in poor areas would be to supply each family with a basic stove/lamp set (retails at $30) and spare mantels ($1.50 for three) and the materials to build a basic kitchen-waste-to-biogas system (about $250). Then you will have given them fuel and light for a lifetime. Contact Solar CITIES and get involved!
Hi Thomas,
I am trying to do the same for my small biogas digester. The gas is already filling up the tire, so I have to hurry up. I need to know how do you connect the plastic hose to the gas stove. A picture could help!
Drill a two to three ml hole in the filter
There's plenty of radioactive substances around. You never don't have radioactivity.
