Let Your Car Run On....Poo!?!?

Let Your Car Run On....Poo!?!?

A research company in the UK has come up with a VW Beetle called the Bio-Bug...that runs on poo. Yeah, human excrement to be exact. Not quite like the Delorean in Back To The Future that ran on garbage (Mr. Fusion!), as it's not a case of where you'll just load poo into your tank. Thankfully.

The excrement needs to be filtered first. It's the methane gas from the poo that is used for fuel, similar to petroleum-run cars. This is being done to show how sustainable driving can happen, and to show how our dependence on fossil fuels can be reduced. It's a proof-of-concept at this point. As it stands, the poo from approximately 70 toilets for a year can run this car (around 16 000 km). 

There's no discernible stench that comes from the VW Bug, and it can be seen driving around the streets in Bristol, England where the sewage treatment plant that provides its biogas is located. Also, I'm astonished that they didn't call it the Dung Beetle!
