  1. Some researchers are still experimenting... hopefully in a decade or two... let's hope technology comes soon,


  2. iono try it out.  maybe u can name your urine and f***s project "Two Fuels One Car"

    LOL

  3. Maybe, but why would you want to?

  4. okay... um... urine is far different from the 'manure'.

    urine is urine, which is an acid. acids corrode metal, so therefore the normal combustion method is out of the picture even before you can think about how to make urine explode.

    Methane is combustable, urine is not.

    think of it this way, when you **** on plants, it grows well, when you p**s on plants, it dies.

  5. you can make auto fuel with the Fischer-Tropsch process from sewage.

    then all you would have to do is pump it into your tank.

    this process also can make fuel from trash and Ag waste.

    this is a old process from the 1920s that is being updated

  6. A natural segue: my car IS a piece of s**t.

  7. yeah cause my cat drives that car around its called a meow-mobile.

  8. Theoretically, I suppose it's possible. Would have to have a fairly large amount of material stored in such a way that as methane gas was created it could be captured, compressed, and delivered to the engine. Would be more feasible to have the fuel generating material stored at an external station and just the gas put into the vehicle itself. Couldn't just pee or poo into the car's gas tank and go, if that's what you were wondering.

  9. they are working on using the methane gas in cow manure to power cars

  10. in a roundabout fashion, methane is combustable.

  11. It might be possible but, it probably wouldn't be enough of the human waste to fill a car up.  However we could use it as fertilizer to grow algae and turn that into biofuel.  

    Algae Biofuel

    -With our current biodiesel feedstocks, like soy and palm, there’s no way we could grow enough to supply all of our transportation needs.  In fact, it would actually require twice the land area of the US devoted to soybean production to meet current heating and transportation needs.

    -Algae, on the other hand, could supply all U.S. diesel power using a mere 0.2% of the nation’s land.

    -Enough algae can be grown to replace all transportation fuels in the U.S. on only 15,000 square miles or 4.5 million acres of land.

    - Algae is the highest yielding feedstock for biodiesel, producing 24 times more oil per acre, on average, than the next leading feedstock--palm oil at 635 gallons/acre/year.

    -One company can produce 180,000 gallons of biodiesel every year from just one acre of algae. That comes to about 4,000 barrels, at a cost of $25 per barrel or $.59 per gallon.

    -To put that in perspective, it takes 3,750 acres of soy to make the same amount of biodiesel at a cost of about $2.50 per barrel for 4,000 barrels.

    -It is possible to use human sewage and wastewater from agricultural endeavors to enhance the growth of algae.  In fact, when done right, algae can double and even triple overnight with the addition of these fertilizers.

    -Plus, as algae grows it absorbs C02 from the air.

    -In addition, fertilizer for other food crops can be produced by using the leftover nutrients that aren’t used to make the biofuel.

  12. it would stink to high heaven and you would be known only as STINKY...

  13. Fill her up and find out!

  14. One can fuel a car out of pretty much anything.

  15. no..hey chu look kute in chur pix
