Gizmodo : Biomass generators coming home
Biomass generators coming home #
Category: Misc. Gadgets
Speaking of portable electricity generators, a company in Colorado called Community Power Corp. is going to start selling generators that can be powered by all that rotten food you'd have to throw away because of a power outage. The BioMax generator is non-polluting and runs on biomass, or basically any kind of plant matter or agricultural waste (I'm sure you can use your imagination there); a version for home use should be available within a few years.
Ah! After Gizmodo offered up a petrol driven generator, it now offers the environmentally friendly version.
Now this I'm all for. In fact perhaps in combination with solar power my home could be electricity company free? I might have to change my toilet habits though :) Was that too much information?
