Methane experiments begin!

October 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Methane motorbike, News

Today I have just started working on my methane project. After reading a few articles, the one of particular interest being: http://www.green-trust.org/2000/biofuel/batesmethane.htm I have started building my first digester to produce methane. At this stage I just want to produce some methane and check that it explodes before going on to look at powering a vehicle. I am setting up a 5L plastic container which is going to be sealed and piped out to a collection vessel, in this case an upturned 2L coke bottle in a bucket of water! The methane will take a few days to get going. One trick to encourage gas production is to leave it in a warm cupboard by the Aga!
