Not at all. "Bio-Bug" works with methane gas produced by human feces, it is a technology devised by British engineers. Do you keep the nose when passing such a Beetle on your side?
Ecological car that consumes ... environmentalist machine consuming human excrement ... human excrement
Did you know that the residues of 70 houses in Bristol are enough to give his "Bio-Bug" a range of 10,000 miles? But do not think a tank full of human excrement, which the poor beetle that we should follow him a year ...
Machine developed by GENeco not use, excuse the expression, shit people, but human feces derived from methane gas. It is extracted in special plants, waste treatment, which could mean an interesting future alternative energy source for propulsion machinery.
For example, special plant in Avonmouth, gas produced from human waste is already used for years for conversion to electricity, so the idea of using it to power the car is a logical step. Especially if we think that the CNG (compressed natural gas) is already used in many parts of the world as fuel.
British Gas obtained from human waste is no lower than that obtained from plants, for example, only to be used in car engines without compromising performance or reliability, it takes a process to upgrade biogas, using a special technology to separate carbon dioxide.
For now, the plant produces around 18 million cubic meters of biogas, which means that if all this gas would be used instead of conventional fuels cars, could save about 19,000 tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere, year.
So we are not surprised that British plans include developing technology to extract biogas from food residues future. This means a very efficient recycling of organic waste.
Jonathon Porritt as states, founding director of the project, "even if people are condescending smile when they learn that human excrement used Bio-Bug will become aware that, in fact, all contribute a little, but significantly to this project."
From now on, "to draw water from the toilet" will get other meanings, is not it?
