On the plus side, one of the other "emissions" can be provided to Merc/VW diesel owners whose cars have urea tanks. :) |
Since they closed up those horse slaughterhouses, maybe they can actually find a use for all the discarded horses that have been dumped on the market lately by their "animal lover" owners who can't afford them.

I've always wanted to connect a horse to some wheels via a crankshaft or two, but I guess horses can't be taught to pedal. What a shame, because a man goes three times as fast on a bike than on foot, so imagine how fast a horsebike might go.
I'd like to see a muscle, supported by an artificial heart+lung+kidneys, grafted to a machine to be used as a source of power. Just add sugar and O2, and it gives off CO2 and H2O. But would it be more efficient than a combustion engine or a solar-electric arrangement? |
Lol, I would be more than content to just ride the horse myself :) and hitch up a cart if something needs hauling.

Doubt this vehicle would pass the tail pipe sniffer tests, methane content too high. :D
