Compressed Bio-Gas
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2009 7:10 am
Audi has an A4 that ran 227mph on this stuff, maybe there is something to it?
Its the purified form of what crops in a no-oxygen environment emit while decomposing, similar to wood-gas in a gassifier. Its mostly Methane with a good chunk of CO2 in it aswell. Supposedly has an octane rating of up to 140 [!/?], could find a use in some project jets/rockets. How hard would it be to setup a mini bio-gas still in the backyard, throw some corn in with your rabbits droppings?
