How does biogas appear?
The operating principle of a biogas plant is to obtain a combustible substance from organic residues. Gas is released during the slow fermentation of biological products: manure, dry leaves, tops, straw. The result is a chemical reaction that produces hydrolytic, acidic, and methane-producing organisms. During their activity, they emit flammable liquid. According to scientific data, a large amount of methane is noted in its composition.
In terms of operational properties, it is in no way inferior to natural gas, which is intended for domestic and industrial use. Biogas is classified as an environmentally friendly fuel. The methods used to obtain it do not harm the environment.
For its production, biowaste is used, which is subjected to daily disposal. The fermentation products are placed in a special sealed reactor, where the following changes occur:
- Over the course of several weeks, biological waste undergoes a fermentation process. Bacteria gradually destroy the organic structure;
- During the life of anaerobic bacteria, a mixture of flammable gases is formed. It consists of methane, carbon dioxide and other types of gases. In addition, hydrogen sulfide is released in minimal quantities, which is dangerous for living organisms. When a small volume of a dangerous mixture is inhaled, signs of poisoning and intoxication appear;
- After this, the mixture of flammable gases is purified. The volume of liquid is directed to the gas tank. Here it will be stored for a long time;
- The finished gas can be used for domestic and industrial purposes. It can be used for space heating and cooking;
- It is important to remove completely decomposed biological residues from the bioreactor in a timely manner. Supplies of raw materials and fermentation products are used to fertilize fields and vegetable gardens.
Using a biogas plant for your home is cost-effective if there is a livestock farm nearby. In this way, the required volume of biological materials will be organized to replenish the sealed container.
According to experts, 90 cubic meters of flammable liquid can be formed from 1 cubic meter of organic substrate.
For regular production of biological gas, it is recommended to build several bioreactor designs in which organic fermenters will be placed with slight differences. In this way, it is possible to organize an uninterrupted supply of organic fuel to household appliances and the heating system.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a system?
Modern models of biogas plants have quite a few advantages. Professional experts highlight several significant disadvantages of such structures for home use. Before starting the construction of such equipment, it is necessary to weigh all the pros and cons.
The positive qualities are as follows:
- Fast disposal of organic waste. The device of a biogas plant allows you to extract a high-quality product from unnecessary waste, which must be disposed of in a timely manner. Organic fermentation in a bioreactor is not dangerous to natural resources;
- Waste-free production. Organic elements do not deplete the environment. The remains of fermented biomass can be used as a good fertilizer;
- During fermentation, a small amount of carbon dioxide is released. It does not affect the environment in any way. CO2 derivatives do not change the environment;
- Minimum amount of sulfur when used. During the combustion process, biogas releases a small amount of sulfur derivatives, unlike natural gas, the combustion of which releases 40% of toxic compounds;
- Uninterrupted fuel supply. Scientists claim that in terms of performance, solar panels are inferior to the performance of this design. In reality, managing solar and wind energy is almost impossible. The volume of biogas directly depends on human activity;
- Possibility of using several designs simultaneously. With proper design and assembly, it is possible to create unique equipment for the production of free gas;
- Good financial benefit. Regular production of energy raw materials will not require large expenses. Absolutely any waste based on organic raw materials can become a source of fermentation.
In addition, regular use of biological gas can significantly save financial costs on heating your home during the cold season.
Jet gloves
The Jet Beam Gauntlet is one of Tony Stark's most used weapons, but it's unlikely to be recreated with high fidelity in the real world. Of course, this option is not suitable for avid Iron Man fans. One of them, the German Patrick Preib, during one of his breaks in his work (on polymer processing) made something similar to a reactive glove: a laser built into the hand.
A laser powered by lithium-ion batteries may not have the same destructive power as Iron Man's gloves, but it can cause harm. It emits a 1000 mW beam, which is 200 times stronger than the laser beam that is legal for use in most countries. In short, if you want to fry your cat, he may well catch fire.
Not satisfied with the work done, Priebe went further and created what he called a "functional iron man laser glove", complete with a retractable laser.
Creating a biogas plant with your own hands
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the stages of creating the simplest design for producing biogas at home.
For this we need:
- Sealed container. To do this, we will use a plastic container, the volume of which will be 100-150 liters;
- Two taps. Experts recommend using ball valves for gas pipelines;
- Tee;
- Rubber or silicone tube. This part will serve as a gas pipeline;
- Crimp clamps for tight fixation of parts;
- Rubber inner tube from trucks;
- Plastic corner with pipe.
The stages of creating a structure consist of the following actions:
- Make a small hole in the plastic lid of the container. After this, carefully fix the small fitting. The fixation points must be sealed with liquid nails or a two-component adhesive composition.
- In one of the side parts we fix the corner fitting using the same principle. We insert a tube into it, which should reach the bottom of the container.
- We fix the hose and corner fitting with sealant.
- We attach the hose to the fitting. A crimp clamp will help secure the parts.
- We attach a ball valve to the back of the tube. It allows you to control the supply of biological gas during its production.
- We connect a tee not far from the tap. One end of the metal fastener will be attached to the other ball valve, and on the other there will be consumption devices.
- Here you need to secure the rubber chamber. It will be used as additional storage. First, all excess air must be removed from the rubber base. The photo of a homemade biogas plant shows the finished product.
- After this, you can start refueling the bioreactor. In this case, we will need any waste based on organic compounds.
To begin with, you can use several kilograms of vegetable peelings, spoiled fruits and expired products.
A small amount of animal manure will help increase the rate of fermentation. After immersing the fermentation components, the container is filled with water. After about 7-10 days, a flammable substance will begin to form inside the container.
Computers controlled by the power of thought
If the fact that Tony Stark controls an entire suit of high-tech armor with his mind seems completely impossible to you, how surprised you will be to know that technology already exists with which you can control a computer system with just the power of your mind.
The Advanced Technologies Lab, in collaboration with Ruzbeh Jafari, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas, has developed an experimental system that allows control of, for example, a Samsung Galaxy tablet without touch or voice commands. Everything is built on where you look and what you focus on.
It must be admitted that technology has not yet reached the stage where it is possible to write a simple message using this method, let alone control a complex military machine. For now, the user's choice is limited to a meager menu. But this is just the beginning.
