Lovely. I have another idea too. That crawl space underneath the digester panel frame? Any greenhouse material left? Cover up the sides of the panel frame, add a few nesting boxes and pop in a few hens. Let them roam the yard daily. Free range eggs, extra brilliant manure for the veggies planned, and NO snails or bugs in the veggie patch. Also, if you add a rooster.....no 'alarm clock" needed to wake up! 😆Happy days, enjoy!

I’m loving the biogas videos man. Any updates on this system? Curious how it’s coming along.

Hi, it would be more efficient if you put insulation foil between the soil & the pipe. Currently you are losing heat to the ground. Regards

You did a great job designing your syatem. I have the same system as you do. I had to redesign how I heat my biogas digester and my hot water because my greenhouse got way too hot in the summer months. As for winter time my system kept my greenhouse so warm I could keep my doors open all day long and get free heat from my greenhouse. I did do something different from your system, I put a hot water tank on my biogas digester so in the winter I had hot water flowing through it 90% percent of the time. It will take you at least a month before it will give you plenty of cooking gas. Again, I really liked your system. It was well thought out. Have a wonderful day!

Sure would love to see an update on how this system has done after your final changes and used it for a while.

That's what all country's should be doing ,man thanks for sharing looks great .🤔🕊️💗

Hello If I may make a couple of suggestion. The ground will act as a heat sink and will take all the heat away from your biobag. I would use some ridged foam insulation between the ground and your coil of hot water. Second water like to take the path of least resistance so your hot water will go through the first line and back to pump. If you make a zig zag effect to get your hot water over all the bottom your biobag. I love your Idea for heat. I was just getter ready to build a bag with internal heat lines and this idea it amazing. I hope my info helps you make more biogas.

Ah! Had to get to the end of the video to know you were going to put a Greenhouse around your system! AWESOME!!

A greenhouse over it is brilliant!

I used 80 mm polystyrene sheets as insulation under mine with rock dust covering the insulation, I have 2 x No. 7 units

Awesome job 👍can’t wait to see the output

Just a thought on the Thermo heater... If it had the exit from the diagonal corner .. it should force all tubes to get more even energy transfer Same way to wire multipul solar battery bank

That is HUGE. I was considering purchasing the home biogas 2

Only thing I could think to do any further is to use an aircrete surround to protect the sides of the bag. Great Job!!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Would Iove an update on your biogas setup with the greenhouse

I agree if you can plastic/rubber layer then rigid insulation under under pex will help. with heat loss and gains in performance and temp control.... Even a membrane layer under the pex will be a gain compared to bare earth

Great video. Any update on its progress and use. I intend to install one. Saw this in Kenya. You’re the first western person I’ve seen with the similar system. Great job.

Great set up, hope it's working out well for you. Looking forward to updates!

I know you will probably never see this comment but I wanted to share some information with you about solar water heating. It takes 1 BTU to raise the temperature of 1 gallon of water 1 degree F. As a rule of thumb, Solar Thermal collectors yield Approx. 1000 BTU per sq.ft. area. that means that a 4 X 10 collector = about 40,000 BTU/solar day in winter. ( in full sun). You are attempting to heat 1,136 gallons of water with one 4 X 10 collector. Use this equation: Required BTU = Gallons X 8.3 X Desired temperature rise. Example: to raise the temperature of 100 gal. water 50 degrees F (say 60 F to 110 F) the calculation is 100 X 8.3 X 50 = 41,500 BTU. You are trying to heat 1,136 gal. of water so you will need over 11.36 times the output of your 4 X 10 collector to heat that much water in a solar day in winter. Also using the straight pipe method without using a proper heat exchanger will lower the efficiency of the system. Using a pump with a flow rate of say 2 gal/min will decrease the efficiency of the system because the water will not stay in the collector long enough to provide an efficient heat exchange and will return to the digester with very little change of temperature. Of coarse since you are not using the heated water like you would in a home water heater, once the water in the digester is heated to the desired temperature you would only have to replace the heat lost during the night. Insulation is key. Also the straight pipe set up with no flow-check valve and the heated water being lower than the collector, will allow the heat in the bag to be thermo-siphoned back to the collector and radiate the heat back into the atmosphere during non-sun hours and you will lose heat from the digester. Building a greenhouse around it like you want to do will also help heat the water and hold some heat in at night but you will still have the loss due to thermo-siphoning as I mentioned before. So I hope this information helps you.

Hey I think you said something about planting a garden under the solar panels I used to work at a solar company damaged panles leak out lead when it rains and I have seen undamaged panles eat the galvanized coating off of a tin roof. Also about how many gallons of useable gas does this sistym make in a year.

maybe putting a bag to the ditch would save some temperature fluctiation and even hold it.

I’d use a Mylar/reflective vapor barrier right under the radiant heat pex, can this power an instant water heater? You could probably lag your exposed pex with an insulated/reflective layer too

Nice solar setup and nice video Sir really nice place out there✌

Put the heater on the pir or polystyrene insulation, you are heating up the ground

You don't need a circulation pump, put the solar heater in the green house, shorten the input output lines and let natural convection do its thing. Drain the line in the fall. Insulation needed between the ground and bladder. The joints are a hazard and too expensive. The water input line needs to be big enough for all those joint lines. The power of the flow weakens over all the lines and will only flow in the first two lines. One line switchbacked.

How can i buy it in Pakistan. If not possible then plz guide me how can i build it at my farm.

glad to see you back. How has your house come along ?

How do you clean it out

I loved this video and I’m looking at the same thing any chance you can do a follow up video?

As a plumber i see a problem with your manifold should hat a tee on the end not a 90 . The side with the 90 will flow but the others wont,

Nice job bro

Nice set up. How much does the Biodigester cost. What's the name of the company. We want one in the Philippines. We have hot weather here. Where are you located. Great video man.

Did you ever end up putting in the greenhouse?

Great Job!! Which water heater model are you using? A 1000W one? I just bought the system and I will put a greenhouse plus a water heater on it

Build a straw bale arch over it.

Is it possible to over heat the fluid inside the bio digester?

Could this be used with a regular toilet

Nice set up

will you also use that to take heat away from the digester?

Thanks for sharing Bro where can one order or buy one?

Should the inlet by covered?

What's the difference between a water heater and a hot water heater? ;)

You need insulation under that radiant heating. You are losing all your heat energy to the ground. It's probably getting some heat from the radiant heating, but a night it's just going to be sucking it all back out. You would have been just as well off not having it there at all.

I was wondering what kind of batteries you are using now I saw your old ones on craigslist a little while ago.

Why did you go with floor heat versus running the tube into or around the actual digester?

What is the bio bag filled with in the first place?

DOES IT HAVE A CLEAR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS? THANKU PLEASE FOLLOW UP. YOU CAN ALSO USE VEGETABLE AND FRUITS KITCHEN SCRAPS RIGHT?

homeboy went and spent a mint on sharkbite fittings instead of using crimp rings... press f, boys.

Would it be possible to attach this kind of digester to the discharge pipe on a camper?

what if I don't have a heating source, can the biodigester work?...I see several videos, not using any heating source..but the digester still works

what are you filling the bag with initially? is that fair or what?

What size is that

Your heating supply grid is not going to work. The water will flow around the outside bypassing all the tees. You should of looped your heat link like a snake.

So dumb question.. does this stink?

It’s not piped correctly. It should be a continuous loop, you put tees everywhere. You’re never going to get even flow through each pipe.

Just shit on the ground. Mother Nature will do it's thing.
