Gasifier folks,

We have heard that cows produce more methane than most (any?) other  
sources.  We have had this summer a herd of about 60 heifers across  
the road from us, but it does not seem to be a problem for us at all.   
Perhaps the clear Upstate New York air disperses the output quickly.

There is an "opportunity" here at home though. We have a corgi dog of  
some age that is able to basically clear the room with a  
"gassification event".  It there is any correlation between the  
potency of the gas produced and the energy available, we are going to  
be all set for fuel if we can only harness the gas.  I imagine some  
sort of light weight rear-end enclosure for the dog with a temporary  
collection system to allow him to move around at will most of the  
time.  Perhaps a connection to the wood stove would be simple enough  
to build and allow a boost to the household heat.

Comments welcome.

Roy
