The Biogas Handbook($42.00Value)

Description

The first edition of the book quickly established itself as the book on biogas generation. Now in a newly revised edition, David House brings together all the information, from the most theoretical scientific research to grass roots homescale trial and error. Here are the detailed designs for generators and the knowledge, encouragement, imagination, and humor you will need to build a generator of your own. While biogas may not yet be a household word, you should consider it seriously if you believe in the future of alternative energy. Use biogas for illumination, cooking, water heating, refrigeration, space heating, and to fuel vehicles. *Over 100 figures and tables *All the necessary formulas *6 model generators and a design flow chart *Complete list of resources *Extensive bibliography There is a great deal of satisfaction available to an author. Good books lead a life of their own, meeting people the author has never met, sharing thoughts with people in far off places, spark¬ing ideas in others which the author may never have himself consid-ered. Just as a person does not exist in isolation, so too, a book is not written as the product of a soli¬tary mind. This book is the result of interaction with many minds, as witness the Bibliography. As well, the strength to continue writing during those times when it seemed the book would never be, and its promise seemed to be empty wind, was not solely my own. The will to strive, the stamina to perse-vere, and the heart to have begun, all these I owe in various measures to others. Therefore, I dedicate this book to my wife, Janeth, and my baby daughter, Sarah. And I thank my parents, Bill and June House, noble and selfless, for their help. Finally, in hopes that the world will hear, I want to express gratitude to my Bahá'í brothers and sisters throughout the planet, for theirs is the greatest work of all.
