Detail a good working biogas digester?

Has anyone found any good links or info on biogas digesters that are capable of running a house? I have a lot of links but I would like to find some really complete home digester information. I have a ready source of bio material, the base of which is seaweed seeded with cow manure. Any good info out there?
