OT: MSU has figured out how to turn cow shit into water
Big deal, we figured out how to turn offense into cow shit at least six months ago
Awesome
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
This may pave the way for technology that can turn EL into something salvageable.
So East Lansing has found a reason to be something other than a skid mark on the underpants of society?
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.
Granted the article shoves all the separation processes into one sentence without explaining it further, but it sounds like the 90% water containing manure is the raw material input to their separation train.
Ah that's true, I guess that makes it a little more acceptable then.
If all they want is water, wouldn't it be far cheaper and effective to press the shit through a filtration system? Take what's left, put in a bag and sell it!
Not kidding, I thought this was going to be a metaphor explaining their football team
Is why I find value in this web site! Love it.
Next up, turning Izzo's bullshit into a valuable by-product.
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...
Finally, we can drink from the Saginaw River once again.
I'm always surprised when my friends eat the fish they catch out of it.
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.
Watching last years game on BTN right now- we look like fucking cow poo
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.
