How much methane is in human flatulence, can this be a new alternative fuel?

Question

Would you let it rip to power your car?

Answer 1

Well you will need specially designed seats in your car so as to capture all the emissions and need to eat beans for dinner the night before and even breakfast each day that you have to use the car. The amout is rather small and most people can't produce methene unless they eat the proper foods. I can see car poolers being more fussy with who they allow into their cars.

"Maurice did you eat your beans last night like you were supposed to? I haven't heard you contributing to the drive to work the last few days so I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave and replace you will Chico the new Mexican guy from the computer department. You know they eat beans every meal and he told me he work part time at his families restaurant the "Beanery" so I know he will produce for us. I know most people are unable to produce methene in their farts Maurice but at least try by eating the proper foods like Qwan and Gertrude do. So nothing personal...its not because your g*y or black but just because you aren't a team player. Sorry Maurice but we 3 need to get to work and on time.You're fired! Get out, pull up your pants, take your personalized butt formed seat with you and get on public transit."

Answer 2

It is loaded with methane, and some say:  flammable.  But it can not be bottled sufficiently for fuel, as it is impractical to collect in gross amounts.

Answer 3

If it was all possible. I would be bottling it and selling it at $4 dollars a gallon!

Answer 4

Not enough to power you car but this question has possibility's

Answer 5

Enough to burn.

But getting home on f**t... that would make my A$$ burn.

Good Luck...
