      From: kanon11@gmail.com              I'll be excited if I get anything at all. It's just an initial, uninformed       proof of concept type of thing for me at this point, and I'm only doing it       because it's so simple and yet so fun--electricity from poop! Mostly, I'm       doing it for the compost and        the need to get rid of my waste. The methane too is just for fun, though I       hear there are off-grid houses that get all their cooking fuel from their       methane producing compost pile. Some people also harvest the heat and get 140       degree water.              As for the pumps, zero. It'll be gravity fed. Approximately the same amount of       fertilizer (4-6 weeks of fermentation) comes out the other end when new black       water from the trailer enters the input. Do it right, and it's safe for using       on food crops, but        I wouldn't do it with this prototype since I'm not planning to carefully       monitor the carbon nitrogen ratio, the temperature, etc. Good for flowers,       though.              Kanon              On Friday, July 5, 2013 7:56:09 PM UTC-7, mike wrote:       > Thanks, interesting reading.       >        > How much power do you expect to produce?       >        > And how much power do you expect to consume by pumps etc.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
