Question

Is it possible to power your home using wind power and methane gas from your septic tank?

Answer 1

It sure is possible. The question is, is it cost effective?

Unless you live a windy area, chances are the payback period will be somewhat long.

Answer 2

should not try until it is tested, are you going to be the first.

Answer 3

BIODIGESTER

sure is make a bio digester ,it makes a clean gas that has no smell whatever and is not that expensive to make, a closed sistern with some pipes going in ,and a pipe leading to the kitchen

have lots of parties and people for dinner ,so that you will have a lot of gas

you can even make one from animal manure ,

NOTE

to lois these kind of things have been in operation in isolated places in Australia for many years ,well tested and well documented under biodigesters on the internet and in Permaculture circles or alternative energies.

POWER

put some propellers on the roof ,include some solar panels incase there is not much wind

change all you equipment to 12 volts

there are many people in Earthships ¨that are totally autosuficient ,you may have to adjust your life a little ,but it is great to be independent and you can live way in the sticks ,

so there also will be plenty of space to grow the bulk of your food
