If i dry my "Poo", can it be use as a solid fuel? Thanks.?

Question

I guess if we can do that world wide, we can save millions of tons of fuel every year.

Answer 1

Why don't you try it out and be the first to introduce it.Let it be your discovery.

Answer 2

Guess I will just have to continue to waste millions of tons of fuel per year....cause somehow.... I am just not interested in dried poo fuel.

YUCK,

Answer 3

Yes some countries around the world do this.  It works, but is still in experimental stages but, it works!!!

Answer 4

yes,

it contians methane gas which will burn.

Answer 5

Yes, and it is done around the world.  Oil is big business here so it will probably be a suppressed form of energy like many other natural resources.

Answer 6

Answer 7

THATS JUST SICK MAN!!!!!!!go see a consuler

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Buffalo chips burn, so yours would probably too.   Just have to eat much more plant products and little or no refined foods or meat.

Answer 10

Ah yes, dried poo, or dung, is used throughout the developing world as a fuel source.  Who would have thought that they'd be soooo advanced!

You may be surprised to learn that our sewerage treatment facilities use the poo you poo today!  Yes, its highly useful.  It goes through huge centrifuges where the water is squeezed out.  Then it goes through an oven for drying.  The final sterile product is used as an industrial fertilizer.

Answer 11

I believe that most dung that is used for fuel in wood and resource poor regions are from herbevours.  The plant matter in the undigested fecal matter when dry is used as the combustable material.  Maybe it has to do with the digestive processes of animals such as cattle/oxen, horses, goats and sheep which are the more common forms of solid fuels used in many countries.  Thanks for putting that thought in my head, now I need to research it further.  Try this web site for more info:http://www.smm.org/buzz/blog/fecal_matte...

Answer 12

Sounds like a terrible idea. Not only would filtration methods all over the world have to be rebuilt, but it would pollute like all h**l and the world would smell like ****.

Answer 13

You can use it as a parfum. And put it beside you bed.

Answer 14

to be honest, I truly don't know, but am sure someone is  or has probably working on it as we speak. Considering the amount of human waste we create - if it were economically  feasibly our fuel problems would be over forever.  

...and (if you'll pardon the pun)  should they succeed they will  be sitting on a gold mine... not to mention that it would certianly knock the backside out of the oil market. lol

Answer 15

Yeah and then maybe the whole world could smell like $hit!

Answer 16

THE VAPORS OF DISSIPATING POO MAKE METHANE GAS. IT IS A VAPOR WHICH BURNS SIMILAR TO NATURAL GAS. I HAVE SEEN CARS WHICH RUN ON METHANE

Answer 17

we could measure it in katie courics and burn enough to solve our oil crisis

Answer 18

I don't think so, but cattle dung will burn.
