Goat-Powered Future for America?
Goat-Powered Energy
Here's another original idea from Jimbo the Power Guy!
Energy can be supplied to a house, a farm, or even a city using
nothing more than goats and garbage. The entire system (large or
small) can be built on multiples of single goat units. A goat
unit consists of the following:
1 Plexiglas box (large enough to contain goat)
2 15-foot sections of flex-ventilation hose
1 boiler w/250 gallon tank
1 steam-driven turbine/generator
1 bank of 12v dc storage batteries
1. Place the goat in a Plexiglas box just large enough to contain
goat. Arrange water and food containers so that goat can reach
them without effort. Place poop collection can/bowl at rear (of
goat).
2. Cut a hole in the rear of the Plexiglas box and insert
ventilation hose. Run the hose to the lower section (hotbox) of
the steam boiler.
3. Cut hole in front of Plexiglas box. Attach ventilation hose to
box and to fresh air fan. Make all connections secure.
4. Feed goat with waste foliage, grass clippings, food scraps and
other garbage from gardens, farms, etc.
5. Keep water level in water dish at least half full.
6. Ignite methane gases in boiler hotbox. (Be sure water level in
tank is at proper level)
7. Run wiring from steam generator to battery bank and from
batteries to converter.
8. Enjoy living off the grid for life.
9. To increase voltage and/or wattage, simply add more goats.
(Boiler can take up to 250 goats)
10. Be sure to keep at least two goats for breeding and restocking
power line.
This system really works. Granted, there have been a few minor
explosions in some third-world applications (too many goats on the
systems), and one fella in Minnesota managed to burn all his
facial hair plum off when igniting the fire in the hotbox. But
mostly, the results have been ok and injuries have been minor (or
at least funny). One city is even looking into using this system
to power the main grid. (However, the mayor has asked that his
name not be mentioned at this time.) So you know it's gonna work
for you.
Ok, now all you gotta do is get out there and git 'er done.
