Interesting.

He produces 200 liters a day of biogas and it's not enough by 5 or 10x? I produce about a quart of kitchen compost a week.

The thermoacoustic linear generator is interesting. That would run on moonshine or hemp oil.

Its just good TV really, if efficiency blows your skirt up.
Usually poop gas is just wasted and 80x stronger a greenhouse gas than CO2.
So using it just makes sense... until you get to the working with **** bit.
(Or... maybe not if you do it properly)

The Engine is fun too. you buy some bits at the plumbing dept and 3D print some bits is the end goal.
This in the basement is 80-90?% efficient, if you want the heat.
Basically free electricity with your heat, so electrical conversion efficiency is ...secondary.
etc-etc
If it gets my imagination going like this: Good TV
