|    One man experimental humanure biogas dig    |
|    04 Jul 13 01:17:55    |
      Hi all, I'm planning to make a biogas digester to connect to my mobile home's       sewage out port. Hopefully this will make fertilizer, a bit of methane, and       possibly electricity, as I've read that anaerobic breakdown of organic matter       can run a microbial        fuel cell. My main question at this point is how the fertilizer is extracted?       On all the plans I've see, the tank is buried with an input and output pipe       going down into it. Somehow, the effluent seems to flow up and out the output       pipe, but I can't for        the life of me figure out how that works. It seems to defy gravity. Can anyone       enlighten me? Building this will save me from trips to the dump station and       use my poop for good rather than being a hazardous waste.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
