Converts all organic material and waste to methane leaving potable water

Hi all,

Something that gives a little more insight into the corn cob carbon briquet is here in pdf form:

http://all-craft.missouri.edu/Presentations/PosterBanksc.pdf

But it still doesn't seem that difficult if you knew the acid wash times.

Another site that discusses this, and other storage methods is here:

http://newenergyandfuel.com/http:/newenergyandfuel/com/2008/09/09/reality-check-where-to-put-all-that-methane/

The "dry water" method looks like it would be the lowest cost and most easily realizable besides the corn cob method because of the silica base.
I need to do more digging to see if IF either ever was tested fruitfully with enough information for replication.



It also addresses the energy density of methane vs. gasoline as to economic viability.

Thanks for the info on the methane storage with corncob carbon.I think its definately part of the solution.To think that 120 times the volume can be absorbed easily with corncob charcoal.But with a metal cage molecule up to 230 times the volume ,while the DOE goal was 180 times the volume.Looks like we are on our way with methane burning cars.Triffid

This stuff can change the world trif...take a trip cross the country on a 6 pack of beer and a can of beans.

Hi Cap,
This looks a lot like the things you needed to do with the grass clippings methane producer.
I looked for the book at realgoods. I don't see it online. But you just had to collect the grass clippings in a big container and they (the clippings) did the rest. You just had to collect it.

This looks like the same idea with pellets... same grass... different form, but, I guess the nitrogen in there is the same.

Somebody with a lawn mower ought to try this. cut the grass... make methane... mod the lawnmower to run on the methane from the grass-gas.

ok I will be still, for a while.
