OT: MSU has figured out how to turn cow shit into water
Well, a long time ago MSU figured out how to turn cow shit into sheepskin.
Very good way of putting it.
I'm confused when he says that 10% of manure is comprised of stuff that can have an "environmental impact if not properly managed." Haven't cows been shitting for thousands of years without our help?
H2S can become a pretty bad issue when you funnel shit into a tank. This isn't unique to cows, as the Navy has issues with this as well on ships.
So they're turning shit into water now?
Bit different when you have a few thousand cows on a factory farm
If I read this article correctly, they're using the manure to generate energy to power a reverse osmosis water filter. I'm not really sure that counts as turning poop into water as much as it is burning poop to fuel a water filter.
Interesting. I just took it to mean that I've been eating my cow shit all wrong, but you're probably right.
on top of this issue.
Ah that's true, I guess that makes it a little more acceptable then.
Not kidding, I thought this was going to be a metaphor explaining their football team
injuries by rubbing the shit on the wounds or they can pile it on tables to soften the blows when they slam their fists into the table thereby preventing wrist injuries.
It looks a bit cumbersome, but I am sure someone can spin this - "One of THESE in EVERY home!"
of those in the barn, right next to the bio-diesel reactor we built. i just hope it doesn't mind when we mix in the sheep/goat/chicken scat in with our cow manure. one big happy family...
What's so new about that?!
Burn it and you make water (along with CO2 and some other stuff); it's not that hard. Turning it into useful fuel with high yield would be impressive.
What's wrong with fertilizer as an option here? Making fertilizer is often going to be from natural gas, which is already useful for other reasons.
Why they've been stockpiling this stuff all over their campus for a while now.
i don't care if they say it's clean water. "90% of cow poop is water".... that is water that has been in a cow's ass. you can't filter cow ass juice enough for me to drink it.
Moo U does it again.
I thought this was a thread about Sparty's recruiting successes!
They don't let you bring your own water: "containers of any kind" are forbidden.
So think about what's going to be available when you get inside.
