I do, :-)

Being a farm kid that was downwind from the
exhaust of horses and cattle, I figured there's
gotta be a way to harness that wasted energy. :-)

A nice young fellow running a 1,000 head dairy
a few miles down the road with kids in college had to sell out because he
couldn't meet the EPA manure disposal requirements unless he hauled it 40
miles to a land-fill, on top of that a >$2k/mo electric bill.

If he could've burned the washdown out of the "lagoon" in a klunker 250-500
Kw I.C. GenSet he
could be putting some power on the Grid without
adding to the global CO2 burden. And his family might have had a future.

BTW. Great web page.Hurry up and finish it!
