Here's a thought for anyone out there to optimise your generators, add an egr (exhaust gas recirculater) or 2 in line on the exhaust, not to reburn the gas but to use the heat exchange to heat water, we waste so much heat energy with generators.
@@gideonkehinde1019 connect an EGR (exhaust gas recirculator) on the exhaust, the EGR is a heat exchanger. Exhaust heat -> heat water, I try and add one to as many divises as possible to heat water in my tank. The water will generally syphon through the EGR as it heats without a pump
czcams.com/video/cVT4bR5e7FI/video.html Here's one added to a diesel heater, obviously it's a different application. The diesel heater exhaust gets to around 170°C but I hope that gives you an idea for extraction of a lil more energy ✌️
I was researching and came to the same conclusion you did. I'm going to modify my air intake and loop the carb gas back into the intake. Thank you for the confidence to permanently modify a fine working gas generator.
I wasn’t entirely sure either, I have seen biogas done with conversion kits, but my understanding of engines says it should be possible and there you have it, it works. I need to visit large scale commercial plants.
what a great idea! thanks for sharing! one question, how do you manage with the lubrication oil? your generator uses mixture of gasoline+oil or have a separated container for oil? thanks!
Would an air regulator attachment help control the air flow? I've just bought a 350w generator to play with later. Is that a straight 3/8 air hose there
Having a valve down at the end of the hose would be a great addition, adjusting from the tank is touchy as the regulator doesn’t like the low pressure, better to turn it on full and open a valve at the end as I was having issues, as I’ve mentioned you can actually buy conversion kits for this model generator, but I was merely showing that it’s possible to run it with biogas, if I actually relied on it for power it would be set up properly 👍
this is so awesome ...have a biogas system on my own, are you planing to do the measurement soon. How long you can run the gen with a certain amount of compressed gas ?
Hi - very cool idea, and great that it works. I have a question: I’m looking for a generator and was all set to go with the Honda (and break the bank...) but then saw that the Yamaha EF2200iS has a caburettor drain (to remove excess petrol for storage). So, I thought this could also be used to connect gas to that drain really easily as it would be open to the carburettor and save a lot of modification... what do you think?
@@ericlotze7724 you can use iron to remove the hydrogen sulifde. Steel wool would probally work. H2S (gas) will react with FE(solid) to produce iron sulfide. Then can pass the remaining gas through water to remove CO2 and remaining Hydrogen, not perfect but it would be cheap for at home removal
Hi how long can you run this generator with biogas for? Would the engine cope with it over time? Would it require more gas when you load the generator up?
how long should my homemade IBC biogas take to start producing methane from cow dung and what optimum conditions shud i keep IBC in to produce more gas
Approx 3 weeks, it will start to produce co2 for a while, then produce methane, start capturing the gas around the 3 week mark and check to see if it’s flammable, once it is, then you can feed food scraps, not before though.
Kindly assist me with this question because I left about one inch space between the digestate and the ceiling inside the tank and I feel I've done the wrong thing or?
well only problem might be if engine requires gasoline to be mixed with oil. Without it you will wear out engine in no time. If it is four stroke with oil pan (requires clean gasoline) , than you are golden.
I am really happy that I have found your video's. I'll be doing this for our cooking. about the compressing the biogas. Can you use any compressor to compress the biogas into the tanks. I will be building our place soon and won't be bothering with plumbing in toilets as doing biogas needs to eat. I was wondering if you were in need of lifepo4 batteries. they are the best battery for power storage. if you are interested let me know and if you can help me spread the news about the batteries I have for sale I would really appreaciate it. I have EDS, a connective tissue genetic disorder and this is how I am trying to provide for my family. If you can help me out it would be awesome. the price is great as I don't want to be like everyone else trying to gouge people for all they can. the specs for the batteries are 10 year factory warranty-- 3.2 volt 271 AH--171 USD each and the minimum order is 16 cells. if you team up with another person to order 16 cells it is fine. the batteries are brand new and will last you as long as the solar panels do as long as you take good care of them. I hope to hear from you about this and about the filling tanks with biogas to cook with. thanks for your videos they are great.
I’m sending an email your way on some possible collaboration of these projects. Main thing is with a group i volunteer with, but if that’s a bit much i can send you sketch ups etc via email.

amazing stuff bro, I've watched like 8 of your videos back to back, this is helping me get my set up ready! thanks!
I was researching and came to the same conclusion you did.
I'm going to modify my air intake and loop the carb gas back into the intake.
Thank you for the confidence to permanently modify a fine working gas generator.
Cool ! I was not sure it was possible to use biogaz in a regular petrol generator. Now I know it works !
I wasn’t entirely sure either, I have seen biogas done with conversion kits, but my understanding of engines says it should be possible and there you have it, it works. I need to visit large scale commercial plants.
Great & for the greater part. Each unit of biogas/methene used you've saved the global warming effect of approx 23 units of CO2. Nice.

Great content 👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for sharing, I have a home bio digester and this exact generator, I’m going to try this.
How did it work out for you?
Guess it would probably work better with a LPG generator nice bro glad I discovered you and glad your Aussie
You’re
@@aaronmathews9506 thaink Yu Aron Matthew’s , whot wold wee doo wif out Yu . .
That’s great. Well done. It would work well with an inverter and battery bank 👍
Another good video man 🤙
Can’t wait to see how long 1000ltrs lasts
Love it!
this will be a good project to run
nice idea thanks.
Nice!!
Wooo Thats amazing ,
Wow! That's a Kool video. I am watching this from Africa. I will like to make this at home. Highly needed here in Nigeria. My challenge is finance.😥😥
what a great idea! thanks for sharing! one question, how do you manage with the lubrication oil? your generator uses mixture of gasoline+oil or have a separated container for oil? thanks!
Love it
Is it necessary to compress the gas to use it effectively?
what about lubrification or different explosion chamber working temperature? any issue?
Looks awesome, how’s the digester working
Any special cleaning before adding methane gas?
How's the digesters doing making good biogas,
Great! :D

Can you just drill a whole in the air intake cover, add a valve and hook directly to it?
this is so awesome ...have a biogas system on my own, are you planing to do the measurement soon. How long you can run the gen with a certain amount of compressed gas ?

Did it work?
Is compressed biogas cheaper than the conventional Lpg?. Such that one can commercialize the process.
It would be a HELL of a project to do, but could you do a “biogas upgrader” ?
I think the main thing for small scale would be removing hydrogen sulfide via a basic wet scrubber. Then a drying phase.
I can sketch up some ideas and help.
@@ericlotze7724 you can use iron to remove the hydrogen sulifde. Steel wool would probally work. H2S (gas) will react with FE(solid) to produce iron sulfide. Then can pass the remaining gas through water to remove CO2 and remaining Hydrogen, not perfect but it would be cheap for at home removal
@@gavinfeiel3268 he has one just like this, i am the big dumb and didn’t see it pre-comment.
Granted a water scrubber, with sulphuric acid recovery would be neat.
Can this work with any generator ?
Brother please let me know what I want to see inside the biogas filter
bloody epic project mate, how long will a full 1000L gas bag run that little geny? And does it load up alright when running on gas? Cheers
1000litres = 2kwh

is there a way of doing this but the generator is a petrol engine?
Some knocking but still cool. Once you got it up to rev it sounded a little better.
Do you need a carburetor?
I like to run my water pump with this system to fill up my header tank for my garden.
with the kettle and a fridge it is the inrush or start current which can be up to 7 times the running current ... like your work though
Yahoo!
Get a dual gas kit if you what to run it on bio, inverter generator don't like to run up and down (surge) will end up costing you a inverter.
how long should my homemade IBC biogas take to start producing methane from cow dung and what optimum conditions shud i keep IBC in to produce more gas
Approx 3 weeks, it will start to produce co2 for a while, then produce methane, start capturing the gas around the 3 week mark and check to see if it’s flammable, once it is, then you can feed food scraps, not before though.
And try to keep temps above 20c but ideally at 36, like body temperature
@@danieltaurins86 shud i fill it full to the brim or allow about an inch of air space inside the ibc

Looks cheaper than a PV array.
if you use a capacitor bank with an inverter you should be able to run larger appliances on it.
Can’t you just use a generator that can run on gas or propane?
Then just replace the propane with a type of natural gas?
I’m sending an email your way on some possible collaboration of these projects. Main thing is with a group i volunteer with, but if that’s a bit much i can send you sketch ups etc via email.
didn't find an email, so i guess i may try a basic explanation here:
