It is the easiest to start it on gasoline, as there is no indication of settings as far as air and gas mixing goes. After starting, simply close the fuel tap and wait for the engine to start sputtering, turn on the gas valve until the engine revs up and then try to keep it there. It might take a few tries to get the engine to run on gas, it only needs a tiny bit.

With an apparatus to collect the gas, another tool is needed to plow the bottom of these shallow waters. A simple tool such as a hoe is perfectly suited for the job. Easy to obtain and use, available everywhere. There is no special technique needed, just plow through the plomp at the bottom of the ditch in order to release the gas that is contained by it.

As it turns out, there is truly a source of fuel on the bottom of the water. By burning it, energy is released which can be seen in the form of a flame.

An apparatus that will allow collection and temporary storage of gaseous fuels harvested from shallow waters.

Visually explained in the video below:

The bucket works as an underwater bell. After bleeding the air from it, it can be filled up with gas which can then be transferred to the condom without any pressure pump. In return, the condom can be used to find out if the gas contains energy and if so, as a makeshift container for later.

‘Er was eens een man die achter zijn roeiboot een ton had vastgemaakt, met de opening onder water. Hij wierp zijn hengel uit en na een uurtje keerde hij huiswaarts met vis en gas om de beestjes op te bakken.’

‘There was once a man who had tied a barrel behind his rowboat with the opening facing down. He cast his fishing rod and after an hour he returned home with fish and gas to fry them.’

A local, sustainable and ethical source of fuel, imagine..
