In an earlier post I said don't start peeing/crapping into your Mercedes... well now you can into your new toto motorcycle!
Ever had the urge to poo while riding down the motorway?
Do you get s**t scared when riding with your motorcycle buddies?
Well this is for you!
This new motorcycle, produced by toto operates using a "one in, one out" policy. You put food in one end (your mouth) and get fuel out the other (your... well if you don't know by now where it comes out SHAME ON YOU, I refuse to degrade this post to enlighten your curiosity about bowel movements).
The vehicle breaks down the poo into biogas (methane) and runs on the combustion of that fuel; reducing emissions from what would have otherwise been used, petrol/oil.
The only downside is privacy... and I really wouldn't want to be behind this driver in a traffic jam!
Wow what a cool invention!I am just wondering would the methane leaks out during the breaking down process or incomplete combustion, and potentially causing more climate problems?
ReplyDeleteWell, that is actually a good question, I'm guessing:
ReplyDeleteOnce you have defecated into the vehicle, the storage and utilisation of the excrement to produce methane would be quite air-tight.
Where leakages and stray emissions are likely to come from is the person's farts and ventilation (when speeding down the motorway). As the toilet is exposed, you cannot guarantee a 100% transmission of poo and biogas (farts) from one's arse to one's poo powered motorcycle. Here is the potential for increased emissions causing more climatic feedback cycles; but then again, whether you're sitting in a home, or sh*tting on a bike on the M25, methane will always find a way out of your body, and into the skies! Enteric Fermentation Baby!
omg. while this is quite an interesting idea, it is quite disgusting. First of all, in order to take a crap while driving, the driver needs to wear special pants with a hole at the bottom. Second, omg, I can totally imagine this in my mind now, the driver'll have to stop at the side to wipe his butt. Or if he doesn't... And also, it might actually bring in the issue of public nudity.
