  • Guess what, the government is doing their best to hide all this.

  • This is simply recreating mastodons and mammoths. Huge herbivores that contained large methane generators. Inputs were oxygen and wood and other low-value fodder. Outputs where heat, fertiliser and methane.

  • The message of "difficulty" they try to get across is pure BULLSHIT!

    "...no one knows how an ONLY wood compost is doing so well in the garden" AND "not even Pain has an explanation for it"...with "it" being the operative word.

    Shit, how stupid do you think we are? 3 sentences later when talking about the Pain and Swiss families you mention "DUNG" right in the damn subtitles!!!

    Holy Moly...Abra Kadabra...it's magic!!! A carbon to nitrogen ratio of 30:1 works. End of mystery.

  • G'day,

    Thanks for the loving note. Quite simply after I dug this 70's era video up from near oblivion,we did the best job we could to translate it verbatim & then we put it up as is.Of course since then we know more about composting etc. & are assuming that no-one is stupid anywhere.Perhaps you could develop some context & some manners before you next contribute as the world has enough self-righteous petulance without you adding to it.

    All the best,

    Darren Doherty

  • @csreeves YOU ARE A SHILL!! You are a carbon fuel loving shitbag!

  • @1310monster

    Whoa Guys...

    ...Obviously I didn't get the message across I was attempting to, and that's probably because of the anger and sarcasm I used in my post....but I'm actually on YOUR side! I WANT the abundance to be known and shared. Wether it be energy, knowledge, whatever. I just took the wrong tact. I'm sure the reason I did that was because of my intense frustration for what appeared to be media mind control even then and there.....right in the midst of the facts. Sorry.

  • question to all? do you think that if you were to insulate the pile it would produce more heat? and if so would that aid in the composting action, additionally would the added heat produce more gas in the fermention chamber.

    does anyone know if and at which temp. methane gas liquifies and what is the optimal psi or bar for storage?

  • @patroersrick1

    Insulating it might make it hotter, but it might also mess up the air exchange necessary for decomposition. You might have to compensate with a blower fan and perforated pipes.

  • Ive got all the free truckloads of mulch that I want I'm going to go get it, chip it real fine, and do this to heat my house for FREE!

  • ....es heißt ein fünffaches mehr an energie....

    nicht ein fünftel mehr energie, das wär dann nämlich weniger!!!!

  • The green waste at the tip would be the perfect place for that. I agree that forrests cant be used like on a big scale even with big time periods. Residentual areas on the other hand are full of biomass ready to be brewed and people want to get rid of it

  • Cant help but wonder if this could have helped prevent such disastrous bush fires in Australia.

    Yes margot ,that is an understood..at least by anyone with a little ecological or gardering training, the return of some of the spent compost to the forest would result in a richer ecosystem!

    A far better way to go than uncontrollable wildfires!!

  • the other problem i see with this system is just plan logistics...

    40 tons of brush per household per year? or 8 hectares of bush (according to the 40 tons of brush per hectare every 8 years) per household?

    plus the time and money to process it (it really doesn't seem labor friendly)

    bio-gas from organic waste would be the better option..

    the infrastructure is already in place (your rubbish gets removed) the plants just need to be built

  • @HomeDistiller Maybe you don't need to go on that large a scale. You can use your grass and other bio-waste to say produce 10% of your gas. It's a start.

  • @HomeDistiller

    You have a point. This obviously will not work for you. Many people own 80 hectares of land or more. They may already sell logs. Limbs and brush are a waste product of logging. This process allows additional profit while logging sustainably. If my math is right 9,000L oil is equal to 2,380Gal. oil. When logging 10 hectares of forest per year; 10,000 Gallons of oil is a nice boost in profit worth about 35K. Also consider the tonnage of brush cities and towns collect per year.

  • Very interesting in principle.

    I think looking at trees only as trees is a problem. Trees are part of a complex plant and animal system. If the brush and branch removal is too rigorous, the system as a whole, including the trees, can suffer.

    I wonder if there are perils to drinking water that comes through consistently hot plastic pipes, though it looks great for heating purposes. I always use cold water to make coffee or tea, and put a lid on the pot!
