It has been getting in the low 30's at night. I built a green house. I have an extra blue flame.
I have a gas meter and buy gas from the gas company.
I also have a gas well that was unhooked. It has pressure.
At my father in laws his gas well had to many houses hooked up to it. We installed a large tank and compressor (made with electric motor and ac compressor out of a ford.)
I am going to do the same here. I want to heat the green house with it free of charge.
All of this I can do.
After that I want generate power with it. They make continuous (prime) rated lp generators, mainly new low rpm units.
A car with 200,000 miles on it is the same as a motor run non stop for nine months. There lies the problem.
I would like to build a system with some where around 20-25 horse motor. I can buy a spare motor and swap and rebuild.
Or do I buy a 4 cylinder motor out of a junk yard and use to turn the generator and buy another when it blows?
How would you guys approach this.
I would like to power the whole house.
