Urine Powered Vehicle...90 Miles Per Gallon

[ResinRat2]

I did a calculation on this previously in this thread link:

http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=7727.msg190158#msg190158

This process requires the addition of potassium, I am assuming in the form of potassium hydroxide in order for the binding of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide which would be a by-product of this electrolysis process. The by-products would be nitrogen, hydrogen, and potassium carbonate.

I don’t think they would use this process in our cars. I believe the plan is to use this low-voltage process to produce the hydrogen and we would then have to buy the hydrogen from them to use in our cars. The by-products would then be collected and sold for a profit by the company that uses this process.

For the average person I don’t see a practical way that we could use this at home or in our cars.

5% uric acid (urine) would produce 2.24 liters (maximum theoretical) of hydrogen per 60 grams of urine. A gallon of urine is slightly higher in density than water but if we use the density of water we get:

3785 g Urine   X  2.24 L of Hydrogen    =   141 Liters of hydrogen.
Gallon Urine            60 g. of Urine

That’s how much hydrogen could theoretically be yielded from a gallon of urine.

How far can you travel on 141 liters of hydrogen? Who knows!

I know some people I'd like to run the piss out of. They could run my truck.

Hi ,
a 100 hp engine consumes beween 500 and 700 litres per minute at full load and at least 200 litres per minute at low load. So you should be able to reverse your car out of driveway and make the first intersection.
That is assuming those calculations of hydrogen out put per gallon of Urea is correct.
However given that a gallon of water releases at least 3000 litres of hydrogen I think we need to revisit the calculation.
Kind Regards

I don't think that would go over big with the natives.
here I am in my time machine space craft, the Mayans & Aztec are watching me pull something out of my pocket and inserting it into the gas tank all the while trying to explain the concepts of the Universe to the ancient civilization of the Inka's.

I'll pass, it doesn't fit the continuity and explanation of the workings of the Universe all in one perfect ship or the unvailing of such.

But your honor...you gotta believe me...I was just filling up my gas tank.
