Fart Collectors For Cows: One Cow Produces Enough Gas A Day To Power A Car For 24 Hours

(Behold the future - COW POWER!)

"Researchers put plastic backpacks on cows, then inserted tubes into their rumens (their biggest digestive tract). They extracted the methane--about 300 liters a day. That's enough to run a car, or a fridge for 24 hours.

 "[We] believe that such technology could be used to collect methane on larger scale, and even imagine a future farm with a couple of these cows used to provide energy to satisfy the farm’s needs," Sorondo says."

    I had to tell it to use my Blogger account over at your place and I tested one other and had to do it as well. Then I tried to comment and it was making me sign in for Google account! :(:(:(
