Anyone have a biogas/methane generator?

Ha, Ha, funny, funny. All jokes aside, saw an article recently that had a guy running his dairy farm on a huge digester. Interested to see what anyone else may have...

There was an interesting article in the American Vegetable Grower late last year about a comercial operation that had just built a large bio-gas unit. Absolutly fastinating stuff. They can produce enough power for 1100 homes. I have seen several small scale units that are pretty simple to build if you have a big enough waste stream you can easily generate enough methane to heat you home.

Hi,
I've collected some "home scale" methane generators here:
