Reaction & Commentary
Look we got about 15 gallons of mostly cow poo and a little bit of horse poo and all the rest of us just water from the Beaver Pond and we’re going to get it in there uh without making a huge mess really that’s oh it’s a big chunk we need a
Stick we have it to plunge it through y oh it’s spilling down the side Dad Dad which side oh this side okay oh boy oh dear gross let’s just take a minute here let just think about what we you punch don’t get it on my hand dad I would never yeah you’re right
Do you think he’s got to poop anytime [Applause] soon it’s time to feed big murf the biodigestor we’re looking for a a bucket of the good stuff so big murf’s been a little neglected he’s producing gas but not as much as I would have liked and I think I just didn’t
Feed him enough so we’re going to feed him right now and thanks to you boys he should have lots of delicious food that’s right you can help too we don’t discriminate sorry no no rain in there this is not the kind of snack bucket you
Think it is okay girls we need some nice fresh stuff oh that’s a fresh one right there actually that looks good horse poop is so proper you know what I mean like I love the term road apples they’re just scrumptious little e clean things we’re going a roll she’s
Eating the grass turning her grass into poop and you will not believe what we are going to turn this poop into it’s going to actually blow your mind we built this simple machine to turn this a bucket of road apples into some usable biog gas that we can actually compress and replace
Propane I wonder if we should use like a drill and a mixer to kind of mix that all up that’s uh I thought this would work how did that happen think I was going too fast there we go oh yeah oh this is therapeutic oh I’m serious this is
Working great this just like a bread mixer hey oh you broke it what the should return it to Lowe’s what the heck now how are you going to dump that Splash who put us who put that water in the bottom that’s already a better consistency though hey okay now
We need to make this like a real slurry I could just wait like a couple hours and it would probably just turn into a slurry on its own who wants to wait you going to look the batter the beaters after yeah so this is going to start forcing some gas
Out oh you’re spilling you’re spilling what where Far Side what the this isn’t as liquidy as I imagined the problem with our funnel is the hole is not big enough oh there we go that in my pocket it’s not nice anyway it’s just rolled Apple now
It looks like I had an actual accident so in big murf 2.0 I’m going to actually put some thought into like a better funnel system cuz I don’t think it’s the 3-in pipe that’s holding this up I might be part of it it’s just the
The 2 in or inch and a half kind of oh look at that yuck oh it looks like a turd coming out that might be all we can kind of fit in there for now so that’ll just we’ll water that down make some compost tea out of that
Okay and I’ll rinse this off let’s look this is the beauty this stuff isn’t toxic chemicals or anything look you can just you can get this all over yourself it doesn’t matter it’s just like some cow poo see clean just like new oh it’s full yeah it’s full but I think it’s
Actually just kind of stuck in the fill tube a little bit there you go so I think it’s all kind of out of the fill tube now so yeah it is very full and that’s how I want it okay it’s full of food now we do have an inner
Tube full of gas we’ll come back this evening and we’ll see what’s in here here I know what’s in here but we’ll see what it can do okay you ready yeah okay light that I don’t really know how to do this you light it and open the
Valve yeah go okay open it a little more okay give a little pressure on the tank up there Rose look at how clean that is it’s crazy kind of smells like methane no what you can smell it maybe it’s the bucket down below I don’t think you can smell it
Look at this it’s wild it’s really wild and it’s just coming out of the tank me and you made that wow we make great we make great fire together we’re gonna put this in tanks but we’re also going to put it I think we’re going to make something explode
With this that’s what we should do next all righty wow Rose what is it happening I think so okay big murf did you see that can see the bubble is just about ready now what well we just wait big murf was supposed to Bubble nonstop but I think we just didn’t take
Care of him like we ought to have you didn’t take care of him we needed to feed him more and we did not but big murf did work he was just a bit slow and we have great future plans for big murf MF but we still have pled right
Now we are going to do something great that inner tube not bursting at the seams but it is full of methane so we’re going to do something special with that right away okay we have the kit you have everything we need we got the big tube are you ready you said to wear
Safety glasses and ear muffs good yeah I think you might need them I balance the equation of methane and oxygen and I think I need by volume 3/4 oxygen 3/4 or 2/3 yeah I think it’s about 3/4 I’ll probably do about 2/3 though where you
Can see the line of it oh there it is okay okay is that about a third um yeah probably okay there we go okay that’s enough murf gas okay now I need the oxygen so I’m cheating a little bit don’t tell anyone but I needed oxygen to
Make this better you’re just going to do that yeah well that looks like a bad idea oh now I’m going to try something tricky that should be an explosive mixture we need to ignite it take out a fuse coil it right up until the and the
Just leave like 2 in that’s the safety part now tape it to the outside and the hope is that big coil will burn through yeah do a nice coil nice tight coil yeah tape that then have that Wick sticking up that’s right okay oh man we’re
Ready oh let’s go a long ways away what no right here and the driveway dad what if it breaks your windows I don’t know Dad here can you let it no way it okay you ready what’s going is it going yeah it’s smoking going pretty slow we made them
Pretty slow who made those Wicks anyways must be a rookie wa this T takes an hour oh that was it no it wasn’t yeah it burned through yeah you’re box is melting a that looks kind of cool look at the smoke inside you’re yelling did you see [Laughter]
That I thought it had already gone is it going to do it again oh man no it’s done smells like firecrackers okay this is what this is what happened it just burnt through at the top and then like the gases didn’t ignite so is the methane at the bottom that did you
See what it did yeah it blew up just in that tiny little hole it just like launched it somehow um but it didn’t boom it wasn’t a very explosive mix we needed to shake it better or something but the wick was really slow and you notice how it didn’t
Even need uh didn’t even need that big coil let’s do something similar how much MF do you want let’s just do half half oxygen okay get it like a half a wick just tape that on and just just leave like half an inch sticking up now and
Like curled out this part you want peeled back there Shake It Up what it’s going to shoot yeah yeah that blew up that blew up that’s that’s what we’re going for okay I need the shovel and we’re going to go up into the horse pin to depressed methane keep going keep going
Oh good grief keep going okay I think that’s it I got I think the reason that one last one was so successful was cuz I shook it up get a shovel meet me in the horse pin this is one of the five magical energy sources for the offgrid
Homestead and we are going to turn this into this it didn’t work this will not working you broke it what we got it nice huh we didn’t mix it up good enough huh that’s weird the gas didn’t [Laughter] Escape okay so we saw NY red do this and
We thought we also have to do this you ready yeah okay we got water and we got soap this now soapy water yes there we go ready I don’t know what I’m doing take a big scoop of just the bubbles not the water is this going to
Hurt me no you’re lying no I promise oh I saw the flame come up okay we need a big handful of this yeah okay okay just second scoop deep Bros scoop deep okay burn it woo yeah okay just like that oh yeah oh still burning did you see that
Yeah that’s a cool one man that burnt like 2 feet high wa yeah go show me no you blew my eyebrows off no just come here come here let me see it didn’t do your ey see it was your eyelashes look at that D blew it up in
My face stinks why would you do that look at this you a lot of money to have eyelashes done those goow back the whole methane thing is this I know this video is like a disaster cuz I tried to film this over like 3 months and then it didn’t totally work the way
I wanted it to and now we’re just having fun and it’s clear we need a part two to actually show you like the real thing the next video we’re going to actually get this thing cranking at production levels we’re going to compress it in tanks and we’re going to make useful amounts of
Methane which is natural gas right it’s the same thing it you can use it for whatever you want so we’ll see you on that one
