A back garden "wind" generator. It's full of methane and other gasses generated by domestic food biomass decomposing in a sealed high pressure container. The gas pressure drives a small 12v generator in the same way as pressure drives machinery in a steam engine. Gas released should be burned off; heat generated in the process could be used to heat water or possibly used for cooking (?). The electricity generated charges batteries for lighting and other 12v uses. When placed in a sunny position it would be covered with solar cells also charging the batteries.
Any thoughts appreciated.
More Ideas.

Now I wouldn't say I was desperate to try this...

Get ready to celebrate...
