Sunday Funnies
BREAKING LAUGHS
If you think Kamala Harris is one of the great orators of our time, you need the Sunday Funnies.
The concentration of methane required to run a vehicle for any extended period of time is higher than the typical fart is going to give, You'd have to have a shit tank of rotting fecal matter (septic tank works), a compressor that can handle methane, and then a compressed air tank on the vehicle to fill with the methane. Also the vehicle has to be converted to or was purchased to use CNG (compressed natural gas) which typically deals in propane.
Even then the vehicle isn't going to run well due to the lack of power of methane and the other contaminants in the gas (basically the stuff that gives the smell).
Was just more of a funny thought than anything, but it could’ve worked if we’d known how to process all the dog poo from our resort when we ran it.
I got that it was a funny, it's just something that I researched a while ago (jr High to be exact, commode on the go, lift a section of the seat pull a lever a few times to prime let er rip) and figured I'd share. Basically you can run a car on BS, just not directly.
I know England has both run city park lights from it and a vw bug
Ah yes, the Dung Beetle. But once again, even the articles state that a waste treatment plant is needed and it's compressed methane. No onboard processing. Maybe in the future we could be driving "shit"boxes. and I would laughingly run around farting my car up. I would enjoy passing electric cars while I passed gas.
Okay I'm done with this silliness, time to go do actual work.
Ahh, I got it!💡💡what about hooking up a hose from septic tank directly to a vehicle gas tank and syphoning the gases that way?
Still got to be a compressor that can be used with methane, but the production rate might not be enough... landfills also produce methane, and they just vent/burn it. It's an option.
When my family ran our dog resort, the dogs when we were only half full produced nearly a thirty gallon trash can per day. That’s alot of poo a month which went into the trash that the county told us to send to the landfill. Why not use another natural resource for something useful rather than landfills. How wasteful is that! And I’m not a tree hugger, but spam mail, medical, insurance companies and other companies that waste zillions in sending individual packets filled with a bunch of papers in several separate envelopes for a single notice of whatever it is should be the ones responsible for stopping wasting trees that hold everything together with good root systems so as to keep hillsides in tact that construction companies think us a wise idea to have clear cut so they end of with mudslides that kill 56 people like Oso. Sorry, bunny trails happen to be my thing.
