[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4014220, member: 27991"] The manure collection methane off gas is more than you would think. Back in the 70s, Popular Mechanics wrote about a dairy farmer. He had built a pit where he collected the manure. The pit had a domed top. At the top was a duct that connected to the carburetor of a 6 cyl Chevy. He had mounted 6-8 hi Amp alternators on the motor, running to a bank of batteries to an inverter and operated the entire farm electrical needs. He had fabricated a gated Y that mounted 2 oil filters. He would switch the Y, change out the old filter and add a qt of oil. He claimed the motor had run non-stop for 6 years. The concept fascinated me. When I started fishing on the beach, I mounted an alternator on an old lawn edger. I mounted auto headlights on poles and lit up my camp and the water. [/QUOTE]
