How to convert p**p into energy?

Question

for my project, i was trying to see how to convert p**p (f***s) into energy

would you just burn it like coal, and use the heat given off of that to power the electrical generator, or would you do something else?

Answer 1

Burning it is one idea, but what you want is the methane.  There might be other flammable stuff you need to look for, though....

Answer 2

pick out the peanuts and feed the hungry.

Answer 3

Um... Well, burning stuff produces energy, but harnessing it is a whole different matter. I can't really think about anything other than steam engines right now, so I can't help you.

Answer 5

You don't specify what kind of p**p. Human p**p? dog p**p? In parts of Africa, elephant dung is used as a ceramic materials to make pottery. After firing it at a 1000 degrees, it's sterile and can be used for everyday use. Earthworm p**p is used as an organic fertilizer. In Mongolia, camel p**p is the primary means of energy, cooking fires and heating homes. However, I have read that the fumes may cause respiratory diseases. However you use the p**p, you will have to do a considerable amount of research to determine the safety to humans and environmental consequences of using this p**p as energy.

Answer 6

You can use it in 2 ways, first harvest the methane emittted as the poo dries out, and then once it dries out use it a solid fuel.

Answer 7

You'd use a process called anaerobic decomposition, which involves keeping it heated to about 98 degrees sealed off from air, and let existing organisms give off methane gas as they break the p**p down.   In fact this is done to a limited extent at most sewage plants, and in all mammalian digestive tracts too.

Answer 8

Human excreta as well as cow/horse dung can be used in bio-gas plants to generate methane which can then be used as fuel.

The solid residue can be used as fertilizer.

Answer 9

Mix the p**p with other biodegradable materials... place pipe through center of pile. Stir once a week.... the heat in the pipe can be used as a thermal generator or run a pump to pump in water..etc

Answer 10

Pick out all the peanuts and feed the hungry!
