A vehicle that runs on what!?!
So In the midst of our environmental and energy crisis, there has been a scramble for finding sources of alternative energy. Now, in my lab, I have been working on constructing a vehicle that runs on a renewable resource that all of us can produce ourselves.
What is this revolutionary fuel you ask? Urine. I have successfully made a vehicle that runs on urine on a small scale (sort of like an RC car.) I am now working on making it into an actual car. Just imagine, you're on the road and you have to really let out a leak. Now, you always have a place to go, the fuel tank! And you will never have to pay for your fuel again!
Hopefully I will have a prototype of this vehicle in the next few months.

Re: A vehicle that runs on what!?!
Hope the mileage is good. Urine stations would be pretty weird, but piss varies from time to time so piss stations would be needed, I think. Sounds doubtful that urine would be a viable fuel, though.

Re: A vehicle that runs on what!?!
im guessing some kind of pre-treatment is required? Are you using urea as the fuel? Combustion or electrochemical cell?
I'm really curious about this, could you please elaborate (assuming your not under confidentiality and all that).

Re: A vehicle that runs on what!?!
I'll take this thread seriously, for the sake of argument.
Unless you're somehow purporting to use the trace urea and stuff in the urine (which there's just not enough of to do much of anything with), this will simply be a water-based fuel cell, which is old technology in itself, only you'll have to filter the hell out of the piss before it goes in. Just not viable.

agreed , you have to put energy in to get to the only useful material here... making the point of it useless

If you had a car that could run on stupidity, there would be no shortage of fuel.

Suck a dick, bongo boy. At least we're still somewhat free down here.
To the OP: I'm also interested, but I also have to wonder about the viability of this idea. I'd be willing to give it a go.
Also, what about some pics/schematics/diagrams/video of your model car?

Re: A vehicle that runs on what!?!
Kind of off topic, but you could power every car in the US for a year with about 4300 square miles of dye-sensitized solar cells.

Only 4300 square miles. Not a big area then...

That's like a tenth of Nevada...... the fuck do they use all that desert for besides weapons tests? Just throw some solar cells in a 65mi square and ta da

Re: A vehicle that runs on what!?!
Too bad, that this technology won't be available for most people anytime soon since troll piss is known to have significantly higher energy density compared to teh piss of a regular human being.

No not a big area in comparison to total land but in comparison to how much solar PV we currently have installed its an absolutely massive area.
