Hello Keith and the rest of the group, I've been interested in several of the listings mentioned here previously, including the one regarding Jean Pain. The other is the gentleman that made kits to sell to people to utilize manure in running their vehices. I'm keen on the first idea especially, as all of the materials are available to me and it is something that I can see myself doing as a way to lesson my impact upon the earth. I understand the idea of using the heat of the compost pile to heat water for hot water needs, but am confused on how to implement the use and storage of gas as shown in the webpage (http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library.html#pain). I'm confused on how one would inject the methane produced into innertubes and than pull it back out. How does one measure it? Are there pressure release valves if too much gas is introduced into the system? How is it used in an internal combustion engine? (I'd like to power my gas pickup (pre-fuel-injector) and a generator, though bio/wvo is an option for the generator.) Does anyone have any schematics/plans that show how to go about doing this? I'm sure that I could manage the hot water bit, I just want to make sure I don't blow up anything with the gas. P.S. I'm not especially mechanically inclined, so simple step-by-step instructions are best. I would appreciate any help people can provide. I can't be the only person confused about this! ( :
