Can you run a car on urine?

Question

I know it's probaly a really dumb question, but I was just thinking about it while I'm working on my homework.

Answer 1

You corld put it into a hydrogen generator

produce hydrogen and oxygen and use this to booster the performance of your vehicle

I wouldn't like to follow you though

Answer 2

You would save on your water bill because a lot less flushing going on.

Answer 3

Just on the off chance you are daydreaming of a strange way to ask a question with a double meaning, just to get a response. I'll bite.

  Yes you can run your car on urine.  I do not think it would effect the performance of your car.

however I would recommend that after driving it you wash the exterior, you would not wish to look at, or touch any of  those water spots.

Answer 4

yeah, maybe like a steam engine.

might be smelly though

Answer 5

I think people would look pretty funny peeing in there cars..lol.

Answer 6

idk but that would be freakin sweet, wouldn't it? =p

"hey dude i gotta pee...." "Well we aint stoppin, so go pee in the gas tank so we don't run out!!"

Answer 7

urine is essentially water. So when a vehicle that runs on water is invented, it may be able to run on urine at some point.

Answer 8

Apparently, you cannot, because urine is made of water and minerals, your body has ingested and discarded. And none of the contents in urine are flammable, to make combustion and push pistons to power our cars.

Answer 9

I have thought of many weird things throughout my life. But you have beat me on this one. It is probably not a dumb question- it Is a dumb question (No offence).

Although if ti could be done, probably no problems for a guy, but a female could have problems. YOu would need to design a female funnel to insert into the feul tank.

Answer 10

That sounds about as practical as a lot of the ideas that are going around.  For instance there's saltwater.  The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Lake Urine to get it.  Me, I'm going to use switchgrass and wash it down with ethanol from corn.

Answer 11

No.

Answer 12

It's already been done.  I wouldn't recommend urine, but it would work.

Answer 13

Yep, really dumb. I can see you now trying to p**s into your fuel tank. I couldn't see too many women trying to fill er up!

Answer 14

wow......um....wow.

Answer 15

It probably is a possibility, they do have an emergency type battery to power a light with, that uses urine. It's just not a US technology, because we evidently do not think it is worth the effort or money to research and study.

Answer 16

lol no, urine isnt an oil, and does not contain any alcohol in it, unless ur hammered.

Answer 17

no I don't think you can "run on it", but tom is making a pun.  because of the way you woreded your question.  yes you can pie on the road and it will not matter but watch the water spotes.  hmhmhm ha ha ha ha!!!

Answer 18

I would say probably not. But you may be able to fuel something with all the hot air produced from your answer. :-)

Answer 19

Yes..

As a steam engine with the urine taking the place of water...

Answer 20

no
