Cows are very efficient at extracting energy from grass, so their manure doesn't have a very large methane production capability. However, the dairy owner earns extra money from tipping fees to have the local ravioli maker dump it's waste ravioli into his digester. The ravioli also produces a lot more methane.<br />
The dairy owner uses the methane to run a diesel engine to generate electricity for his farm, plus feeds it back into the grid. WWU's VRI occasionally fills up one of their cars there, too.<br />
The VRI was working on a scrubber for the digester to process out hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic to animals and also corrosive to the powerplant.

Imagine a biogas diesel generator that could pump water out of the well or pond for drinking or gardening! I'd like to both help build one and to bring one home in exchange for lifedollars.<br />
Imagine teaching high school, college, or younger folks how to do this so they can teach their parents we don't always have to be connected to the central electrical damned-rivers-hydro-system.

Brian found an excellent source of infomation. I went through some of the material avaiable and found how to make a large scale biogas generator from a plastic bag! <a href="http://www.fastonline.org/CD3WD_40/JF/JF_HTM/Plastic_bag_digester/INDEX.htm" target="_blank">http://www.fastonline.org/CD3WD_40/JF/JF_HTM/Plastic_bag_digester/INDEX.htm</a><br />

that is cool that you found this online. I am very interested in this type of project. Having one on the farm seems ideal! I am also interested in helping out at you farm in other ways. I have experience with DIY stills and am also working on a bike powered generator. I am an Engineer :)
