I once knew a guy who was a big noise in 'Bio-gas'. He reckoned that a
family of five can produce enough gas to satisfy their energy needs on a
daily basis.
He used to design these contraptions that would trap the gas, do some
clever fermentation and channelling to use the product in heating and
cooking.
I think there might be something here for the couple who have a problem
with snoring but not quite sure what.
