8 Crazy Alternative Fuels

what do chicken poop tequila and human. fat have in common I don't know they. just might fuel your car in the future. let's talk about. [Music]. that good mythical morning thank you for. joining us today let let's get right. into this because I got I got some good. stuff to share with you oh good I mean a. lot of people have and are trying to. find uh a replacement fuel to gasoline. or desile spend a lot of my spare time.

thinking about these kind for their. vehicle um so I got eight of these. things that I want to take you through. these are your ideas the no these are. not my ideas these are ideas that IED. internet you really been thinking uh. bizarre alternative fuels some of which. are horrible ideas some of which show. some promise for the future some fails. some future successions. sucs successes successes Bingo yeah they.

may be a succession but they could be a. successful succession I'm glad you're. with me what about a car powered by. compressed air. farts. no um there is an engine that runs by. compressed. air electricity compresses all the air. in the thing you mean like CO2. cartridges that they put in like airsoft. guns no I mean this airpod car check. this baby out here wow that is very very. small you steer this thing with a.

joystick I couldn't fit in that thing. and you can buy you can buy it for under. $10,000 I mean it it's cheap to make. there's no cooling system no spark plugs. no Muffler none of that uh is this like. for a golf course attendant it's. basically like blowing up a balloon and. then and then it Powers you that way it. no not not really it doesn't Propel you. in that way but it's it's not an air jet. uh it only goes 50 m an hour and it but. it can go like 124 miles on a on a tank.

of compressed air and you look really. cool the whole time you're going there. there's some safety concerns with the. size and weight of this thing you know. it's kind of like it makes a smart car. look beefy right it actually looks like. something that my kids would pay buy. tickets to get on it like the county. fair for 25 cents in front of a grocery. store is what I was thinking look Mom. it's got a. joystick okay so but but there's. potential with that one you think so. yeah I mean there's there's rich people. who are going to be buying this thing. and driving around in it what about a.

chicken poop powered car now there's a. lot of that to go around now this falls. in the fail category um back in 1974. Harold bate created a chicken poop. powered car uh he's a crazy British. inventor who also invented a perpetual. motion bicycle that probably didn't work. which I haven't seen him around it. sounds like a great idea but uh. something tells me it didn't it didn't. work uh he converted his 1953 helmet to.

run on methane gas generated by rotten. Pig and Chicken manure oh rotten Pig. wasn't there too rotten pig manure oh. like he would take uh I'm done with this. break and throw it in the car it would. require 300 lb of fermented crap it. would need to ferment for like a week to. go how long uh I don't know but it would. go up to 75 miles an hour that's fast. you get you that's chicken crap. fast he's going to said this is the.

thing of the future all you need is a. couple of buckets of manure a 10 drum. and my carburetor conversion device and. you're in business what's that smell oh. that's Harold pulling up in the driveway. he's back Harold bait 1974 so that. didn't work but would you drive a car. powered by human fat can you believe I. listen this. exists now I mean it's basically just. another form of biofuel kind of thing I. would definitely do this.

Dr Craig Allan Bitner a Beverly Hill's. cosmetic surgeon who reportedly. conducted more than 7,000 lipos suctions. it's Beverly Hills I guess you can. believe that uh you know he was a waste. notot want knot kind of guy so he saved. the leftover fat and turned it into. biofuel for his Ford SUV and his. girlfriend's Lincoln Navigator there. seem to be some ethical issues around. this I mean I don't know I don't I mean. I don't care if you lipo suck me but I. don't want you to put my hpo into your.

SUV this he said without my permission. he's quoted saying the vast majority I. don't know why I use this voice the vast. majority of my patients request that I. use their fat for fuel and I have more. fat than I can use it's it's kind of a. commentary on society why does he talk. like a circus like he's trying to sell. his. idea uh I would do that lose your love. handles help the earth I might go get. lipos suck just to help this guy out.

okay now I would assume that a. sun-powered car is something that's been. around for a while and my assumption. would be correct take a look at this. thing 1987 GM Sun racer mhm I remember. this my dad had one now uh we went. across country in it it it can top. speeds of lay down the whole time 36. miles per hour now I think they approved. on it I think you can get 75 miles per. hour in this thing too now what um yeah. but it looks like one of those squished. that like like a cockroach it's like.

basically a cockroach it's got bicycle. tires well the problem with the thing is. that. uh it can't it it has to weigh less than. 14 PBS the whole vehicle the whole car. weighs 14 PBS I can curl that there's no. way that car only weighs 14 PBS you got. your facts are off the frame weighs 14. PBS my point is that you know there. there are some challenges associated. with this on a on a mass production. scale uh and and you you get to look.

like you're you're riding around in a. squished bug yeah we weren't able to. take the family pet along because he. weighed too much that summer of 87 what. about a car um powered by a bag of. uncompressed gas I mean check this car. out you see that whole bag on top that's. not that's not a family going on like a. cross country trip that bag is full of. gas now during World War I and World War. II in France the Netherlands Germany and. England an impr improvised solution to. the shortage of gasoline was to power.

the same car with uncompressed gas cuz I. mean gas wasn't compressed uh you just. couldn't get it that way so what it was. basically like a it wasn't floatable gas. or it' be a. derable a. derable like a blimp oh it's not. floatable that's Advanced so this thing. is just full of like some sort of gas. highly explosive this is like a time. bomb driving around a time bomb don't. smoke or light a candle I know how you. like to light candles what about a car. powered by tequila Chrysler created the.

turbine car in 1963 and they said that. it would run on anything that could flow. through a pipe and burn with air so the. president of Mexico told Chrysler he. wanted it to run on tequila and they did. it they so apparently he wasn't. concerned about any stereotypes being. reinforced he like just put the tequila. in there they put two gallons of tequila. in this car and went all over La in the. thing really yeah Reports say that from. then on the resident of Mexico ran his.

chryler on. tequila to the to this day to this day. right okay he's still driving around. what about harnessing the power of your. own pet okay use your dog Z Wiggins I. don't know Z wigs in 1939 I don't know. his first name it started with a z he he. created this squirrel cage thing put his. dog in there made his dog run around. like a hamster a squirrel cage I'd never. seen a squirrel in one of those you mean. a hamster c yeah I guess you're right.

like a hamster here and then he would. make the thing go and uh it it seems. questionable and the dog was happy about. this top speed of 85 miles an hour. oh this is impossible yeah I made that. one. [Applause]. up I got you there's something else. going on besides dog in that car all. right and finally uh what about powering. a car by a laser yeah I thought of that. one Charles Stevens um is an.

entrepreneur and inventor laser Power. Systems is his uh his company and he's. trying to harness the power of thorium. which is a radioactive element which. could be a replacement for Uranium. experientially no if as an it's an. experimental replacement is what I'm. trying to say experimentally so he. create he's creating he hasn't done it. yet but he wants to create a laser of. thorium you can't see the laser but it. basically it it's kind of like a nuclear.

powered car a gram of thorium has the. equivalent potential energy content of 7. 7,500 gallons of gasoline where do you. get this stuff you don't get it it's. it's still a prototype you mean thorium. yeah because we need to stock up you. just it I mean me and you need to have. grams upon grams of Thor we can store it. in a. cooler it's it's a it's billionaires. it's it's radio we could be billionaires. but it's radioactive get a radioactive. radioactivity can't through.

styrofoam all right hopefully you. learned something uh leave a comment and. like this video you know what time it is. next we're in gas Indiana it's time to. spin the wheel with. K all of these wheel endings on the. wheel of mythicality come from people. like you and you know what we need more. so send them to us using the # GMM wheel. you can do Facebook Twitter here on. YouTube we need more endings from you g. also videos that's how you submit those.

as well click through at the end of this. episode for more alternative fuels that. I didn't get to in the episode three. yearolds who see themselves on. TV hey man hey you want to watch TV I. got the remote right. here my mom doesn't know I have it okay. let's watch. skinx what what is that I don't know I. just heard my older older brother.

talking about it is it a discovery thing. Discovery Kids oh let's watch this let's. watch a kid show then it's more. appropriate okay kids channel oh look. there's is this a. mirror this is weird it doesn't move. when I move you got a runny nose like. me we're on. television stars no you just cut it off. and this is a. reflection oh see see that.

it is my refraction yeah well turn it. back to. skinx one day uh your. home everything that you put into the. commode will power your home it's. inevitable that that will happen um. every time you poop you'll be turning on. a light bulb.
