Wee to make you go
We recently talked about the prospect of fuelling your Fiesta with sand and now – hot on its alternative heels – comes the notion of the Pee Powered Punto.
Damn those pesky scientists in their technologically advanced University of Ohio laboratories – I had earmarked myself as the inventor of fuel from animal excrement, as per my recent post of July 13th.
And now it seems the green fuel pioneers believe that by pooling – yeuch – the effluence from farm livestock, such as chickens and cows, they can harness the hydrogen in urea just by gently electrocuting the wee and using the hydrogen it creates to power the farm buildings.
Oh, well, never mind – I shall go back to the socks idea!
