			<description><![CDATA[To understand the process that plastic extrusion companies use to manufacture their own products, you have to have some knowledge of chemistry and an understanding of the complex machines that are used in the manufacturing process. Distinctive single screw extruder have unique functioning characteristics , and comprehensive comprehension of their running properties can provide whole engage in to the functionality of your machine. The plastic extruder consists from the extrusion device, the extrusion and pressing system, the transmission system and the heating and cooling system.

			<description><![CDATA[With Coal production being throttled, gas and oil exploration on Fed lands being curtailed and Fed regulations making it harder to explore for, find and extract oil/gas on private lands the current Administration offers this up as the new "renewable" energy source. Start up companies will be subsidized but not to the excessive amounts of recent solar failures. All part of the 'revenge' outlook for the foreseeable future... https://michaelyon-online.com/gobar-gas.htm Pretty crappy solution if you ask me but better than wood in that very long run.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Next the government can pave the roads, with a small tax increase of course. And if the roads are paved then they can drive a car, make monthly payments of course. Then the utility can run electricity, the people can make monthly payments, of course. And if they have electricity they want to buy a TV, they can make monthly payments of course. Soon living just like an American!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I remember reading your other dispatch(es) about Gobar Gas 2-3 yrs. ago and am so glad you have found someone in Afghanistan that thinks it's a good idea for that country. If anyone can implement it, it's General Petraeus (hope I spelled that right). Freeing up childrens' time so they could attend school would go a long way in itself toward major progress in that country, I believe. Thanks again, Michael, for the dispatches, the great photos, and for listening to Lalit and following through. Make sure he gets some credit (I know you already have)! I pray for your safety over there!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just to put the record straight: SNV took over a project in Nepal, in 1992, that was already running fairly well. The Gobar Gas project in Nepal was started by Sanfred Ruohoniemi of the Development and Consulting Services of the United Mission Of Nepal in 1976. I joined the project in 1977 and revisited it in 1991, as a consultant for UNDP. SNV did improve the project, by setting up a system that allowed other companies to compete with the Gobar Gas Company that was set up by DCS, and by providing subsidy and loan finance. However, I will use this forum to put on record that most of the ideas that made the Gobar Gas project work came from Sanfred Ruohoniemi.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Michael, I was in Ghazni Afghanistan in 2008-09 with the Texas Agribusiness Development Team as the Micro Power Engineer. One of the alternatives that I investigated was Biogas. As I knew nothing about the subject prior, I did a ton of research. As I did not start this research until about 3 months before my deployment ended, my only output was a research paper with the recommendation to begin experimenting with the concept on our experimental farm. I have no idea if the project went any further...perha ps you can find out. I enjoyed your article!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you, Mr. Lyons, for an obviously intensively-res earched, and skillfully produced article. I believe that for many people who have managed to create successful gobar gas systems, the benefits are and will be life-changing, as you have well illustrated. Gobar gas technology is a very good thing for these families, and perhaps, for numerous small communities, and may remain so, for many decades, perhaps centuries. It also may NOT be so good, for so long. I am speaking "outside my pay-grade", on such matters, but I will, none the less, suggest that the construction of these digester systems, and the manufacture of the stoves and other related paraphernalia, are dependent on some very 20th Century technologies - themselves dependent on abundant (cheap) fossil fuels. The relatively cheap availability of portland cement (concrete), as well as various metals, not to mention much else in the modern world (eg, food), is a modern phenomenon quite directly related to the boom in fossil fuel abundance. One might note the parallel tracks of fossil fuel production and human population over the past two centuries. There awaits, yet, a reckoning with our ballooned human numbers, a reckoning that "technology" of some sort may forestall, but cannot prevent. The raw, wild Earth has managed to maintain sustainable systems for "long periods of time", in human terms, but the human track record - for outsmarting natural systems and limits - isn't so good. The potential reduction of deforestation, and the increase of educational opportunities, among other considerations, is commendable, but the real challenge will come with managing the reduction of our absolute human numbers, so that forests and fauna in the strip-mined (and over-populated) portions of the world can resume their geologic-histor ic roles of self-sustenance . Mythical Adam and Eve arguably did live in a sort of "Garden of Eden", but they threw it over, and went on the road in search of "Pandora's Box". For better and worse, we've been living with the contents of that box for all the millennia since "The Fall". Civilization is only a blip on the planet's face. We are on the inevitable downside of that blip.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[American dairy farmers have fallen in love with bio gas. More and more are turning to bio gas generators to power their farm, and in some cases sell electricity back to the grid. One, recently featured on Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" show even uses the slurry for profit. Posters above poo-pooing the bio gas idea (sorry, couldn't help myself) because of a lack of material don't realize that a whole other industry has quite the waste disposal problem - farming. Anybody who has been downwind of any large animal farm knows what I mean. Chicken, pig, cow, sheep and what ever raising farms all have to deal with the waste produced by their industry. The raw materials are there, we just need the people willing to take the plunge into bio gas.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's true so let's get over the initial shock. Biogas fuel is the future and the quicker we learn to make use of it the quicker humanity will quit squabbling over Oil resources and chopping down forests. If we can get the Afghan government to use the money that will be made from the "new mineral deposit finds" to build these biogas systems Afghans may very well see within a decades time a proper working economy and children going to school and the depletion of Opium crops.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great article on the gobar gas phenomenon. Cities have used anaerobic sludge digestion for years, and the methane produced has been utilized for a number of applications, for instance running engines for sewage pumping. However, the gobar gas producers are all pretty small and simple. In temperate or colder climates, the digesters will have to be insulated. I am a strong supporter of more decentralizatio n in our infrastructure. It empowers people and produces a system that is more robust that can recover better if it takes a hit, whether natural or man-made.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If You, for a second think, that I am concerned about the cities or commuting or transportation, well, then You are not seeing what I am seeing. We are rapidly reversing back to the stone-age. Those models are dying a death of a hundred pricks every day. Of course You see them in Europe - we have invented them - on a massive scale, for our population centers. But they(cities), too, are a failed model. Failed, because we have imported parts in them not tolerable to the operation of the whole. Those cities and their inhabitants are not my concern. We need to DESTROY our dependency of the big social/governme ntal functions to survive. Our future lays in the destruction of our "own" governments, who are presently in the business and process of replacing us with more suitable subjects. And that - as they say - is that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think you'll find that systems like that are in use in America and Europe. I have personally visited a sewage treatment plant that uses biogas from the sludge digesters to reduce it's energy costs. But if you think that they could possibly eliminate or even significantly reduce our need for fossel fuels, you are mistaken. It's the same problem as for automotive biofuels: where do you get the biomass from?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I can remember Ambrose Keroualle promoting this very idea for Afghanistan and Pakistan at a NATO conference, back in 1998. Most of us thought it was a rather offbeat notion, but I can see now that a very small investment might've led to a vastly different environment in those areas. Strategic development often tends toward military solutions, when much subtler actions are more effective in neutralizing conflicts. This is an excellent example.]]></description>

I'm a farmer now based in Ireland; is there any way I can get either the plans ("Diagram of 'Gobar Gas' installation in Laos"), or one of the kits you showed in the photo, or even both? We've put up our own wind turbine that we sourced from China after much research, also will be installing micro-hydro. Have experience with P.V. out in the desert in the US. Also with Pure Plant Oil production on farm. So we like tinkering with stuff and getting our hands dirty - but all the same, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of the kits if I could. Would be a bonus too if we could support any group/company that subsidizes/help s fellow farmers elsewhere. Thanks for your time and information.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I helped on a building project 4 yrs ago in Madagascar. The Malagasy people have cut down 97% of the rain forrest for cooking and making brick. The gov't was attempting to convert the populace to propane at that time, but the people are so poor they can't afford it (avg. $250/yr income). This seems like a possibility for them as well.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jon, Your points are very important. I did a lot of research on those same topics. Some places in Afghanistan are definitely in the right temperature range -- and there is plenty of water. (Some places.) For instance, Helmand, Kandahar, Nangahar and some other areas seem perfect. Will go into far more details in the unabridged version of the dispatch. Great to read that you are working on Gobar Gas. This is very important and it's just kind of humming along in the background.

			<description><![CDATA[Great post and beautiful photographs on a vital topic in modern discussions of energy and development. I was recently in Nepal working on Gober gas (biogas) development, and I would truly love to see the same gains made in Afghanistan. In fact, we have been examining the potential of using the same (low-tech) technology in the Negev desert in Israel to help Bedoins, but we always run up against a central problem: water availablity. In Nepal, buffalo dung must be mixed ~1:1 with fresh water for the appropriate breakdown to take place. Goat dung, the majority of "fuel" available in Afghanistan, would require even more water per unit mass dung. In Nepal, there is plenty of water, but can we say the same about Afghanistan? Note that recent work using animal urine has not supported urine as a viable replacement for water in the reactor. Personally, if the water issue can be worked out, I would love to work on these projects in Afghanistan myself! The next big hurdle is temperature. The microbes need temperatures consistently higher than 15 deg C to efficiently break down the raw dung (a yearly average of at least 25 deg is preferrable). In Nepal, biogass is generally feasible up to around 3000m altitude, and at higher latitudes the temperature differential brings this max altitude down. In the winter, gas production drops significantly. How many parts of rural Afghanistan are within the appropriate temperature ranges? Also, a minor point: while laboratory results show that methane yields of 70-80% are possible, the majority of working reactors do not reach this efficiency. Research in the Negev shows average methane values closer to 35-50% for goat dung (less efficient than cow dung), which is still good enough for cooking. Keep up the excellent work! Jon]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The setup in that movie was actually pretty stupid, because they made it clear that the pigs were raised for no reason other than to provide dung for the biogas tanks (remember the character "Pig Killer", who got life for killing a pig?). It would be one thing if the pigs were being raised for food and leather and the biogas was just a useful byproduct; but if you're not doing that, why not just put whatever the pigs are being fed straight into the tanks?]]></description>

Having worked on numerous civil affairs projects, I know you're right on target with the analysis in this article. Your posts are required reading for the joint service special ops ROTC group I'm advising. I know these future warriors and leaders will get the truth from you. Since retiring in 1997, I have helped form a sustainable agriculture group in upstate New York. We are VERY interested in implementing the gobar gas home units with our members. Could you please offer some tips on source info for manufacturers, suppliers, even plans from local Asian families. We're eagerly looking for more of your stories on the combat troops, the locals and the background info in OEF. Blessings!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["In addition to the health advantages of biogas for women and children, the rest of nature also benefits. Birds, and other creatures dependent on trees, do better when trees remain standing. In Nepal a single household biogas plant can save about 2,500 kilograms of wood per year. Trees anchor topsoil and prevent erosion. In some places, the wood is simply gone." If you take a quick look at the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic on Google Earth, there is literally a line where there are trees on one side, and none on the other. Right now, I am envisioning US troops going house to house and setting these things up. If the Amish can get a few hundred guys together to build a barn in a day, we can round up a company to build a house or village sized gobar gas unit. Taliban monopolies on cell phone tower coverage will have no bearing on the ISAF's Gobar Gas monopoly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Anyone that has composted much knows that it takes a little know how to get a good compost pile and to keep it "healthy". Or even if if your using a compost bin, the mix of what is put in and how often is very important and that the air supply plays an equally important part. The same is true of this technology. The PH of the mix determines the output. Too little manure or too much vegetable material upsets the PH and can/will delay or ruin the process. For additional info: Gobar Gas Methane Experiments in India (From The Mother Earth News) Great job Michael ! We all need to pray that this can be developed in every country where it is needed.

Look at the infamous "poo ponds" that are on the various bases and FOBs. Not only could this be used to help the community, but possibly to provided power and resources for the bases as well. A central point that could produce this gas for a village or town? Maybe set an example?!? Great article and pictures!! Keep up the good work!]]></description>
