   try reading;   
      
   can YOU generate 1 ton of poop to power your computer for a day ?   
      
   no!   
      
      
      
   How much biogas can I get out of my waste?   
      
   The amount of biogas you can extract from your organic waste depends on   
   the waste itself and the design of the digester system.   
      
   Some digesters can yield 20 m3 of biogas per tonne of waste   
      
   SO 1 tonn poop = 20 m^3 biogas which is 60% methane = 12 m^3 methane   
   =424 cubic feets   
      
   your computer takes 120V*3A or 360 watts (including display)   
      
   424 cubic feet => 8,000 to 12,000 watt hours   
      
   take the average of 10,000, 10,000/360 = 27   
      
   therefore 1 ton of poop will run your computer for 27 hours   
      
   better go get your exlax   
      
   so now what do you do with the used poop ?   
      
   you need the water out of it....
