Shit powered Bike
By Techgirl

As the world runs out of traditional fuels, hundreds of millions of research dollars are being spent on alternative technologies to harness solar, water and wind. After the nuclear power plant accidents in Japan, many countries are phasing out this source of energy.

In India, car sales have slowed down due to interest rate rises and the hike in petrol and diesel prices.

Perhaps, it is time to look at the Poo powered Tricycle.  One of America’s most awarded blogs Boing Boing has a detailed post on how one of the world’s top Toilet makers has created poo powered transport

“
As the person drives, he can poop into the bowl, and that poop will be turned into fuel for the car. It's actually part of a campaign that Toto is running in an effort to reduce its CO2 emissions by 50% in the next 6 years. The motorcycle will be making its way from Kyushu to Tokyo over the next month (departing in six days).

The mind boggles at such technology!  What happens if the driver is constipated for a few days?  Would there be special gas stations where you can drive to get fuel? Would Mumbai police have to wear special shoes while investigating an accident?
