In the United States created the biofuel from human feces. Will it be popular?

For many years the best minds from different countries trying to find cheap fuel, which can replace the oil when its reserves are exhausted. Periodically we hear about various discoveries that can change the world. In the days of his promising development, said scientists from the US, who have learned to produce fuel of human waste.

It turns out that to produce the fuel from the feces just technology identical to natural, just the special equipment of oil from the biological waste produced is much faster. Instead of millions of years, the process takes only a few hours, and the original product may have a predetermined properties.

To cook from the feces gasoline, are extracted from waste water and lay in the machine heats the raw material up to 340 degrees Celsius. Then hot faeces is placed in a cylindrical container and shrink under the pressure of 1360 kg. After that, the solid fraction is separated oily liquid, like oil. In principle, it is really called her "biodiesel". It can be used for the production of gasoline, diesel fuel and other products manufactured out of the ordinary, mined from the depths of the earth oil.

It is worth saying that the yield of biodiesel from feedstock is not too large. The year man can produce feces only 10-12 liters of fuel. But if you consider how much waste is produced at the scale of a large city or the country, it becomes clear that the raw material base of those who will be engaged in a new production, almost inexhaustible.

Scientists from the U.S. no one was moving in this direction. Prior to this, researchers from South Korea has introduced a technology of processing of faeces in the oil with the help of microorganisms. A special kind of Escherichia coli in the course of their life turns waste into biofuels.

Now when it's still not exhausted the reserves of natural oil such development in the field of organic chemistry seem unnecessary, but let's see what happens in about 50 years. As for the ingredients of life, then we want or not, they still have considerable value not only as a raw material, but also as a source of information.
