Introducing the "Poo Bus"
Introducing the "Poo Bus"
(30 Apr 2015, 4:39 pm)eezypeazy The story says:
A single tank of the gas, which is produced using the typical annual waste of five people, is enough to power the vehicle for 190 miles.
So the [b]annual waste of one person would move the bus 38 miles.[/b]
How much poo would be required to move a fleet of a thousand buses at 12 mph through a conurbation for 18 hours a day? 216 miles x 363 days = 78,408,000 miles. Divide by 38 miles per person = 2,063,3684 people's annual waste. Unfortunately, there's only 1.1 million people in Tyne and Wear.
In other words, to make Tyne and Wear's buses 100% poo-powered you'd need twice the amount of poo that the population can produce....
... unless we all swapped to a very high-fibre diet...
Somebody else care to check my maths...?
...saying that it ain't much better now haha
