Is the cameraman from The Office?
seems like Gordon Ramysay's cameraman
must be
Oh, having lived on a farm, I can attest to how lovely that smell is. In a studio like this, I think I'd have wanted a gas mask!
Don't give Hitler ideas m'dear
I'm sorry, but I don't get your meaning. I was talking about using a gas mask to avoid being overcome by the stench of that whole mixture.
doesnt smell that bad if you know the smell for years
@@racist4595 Also, the brain is pretty good at filtering that shit out. You may smell it for a small time, but after then you will not notice it anymore.
I live near a bunch of dairy farms, and I would've wanted a full hazmat suit!
For any future commenters who want to gripe about the waste of food; large scale bioreactors use food waste and any other inedible organics for methane production.
Ethanol plants are also in the process of switching to corn stalks and leaves, switchgrass and algae for their methods of production so they have a positive or neutral impact on food supply.
I'm retired. However, prior to retiring from a large municipal sewage treatment facility, the facility's anaerobic digesters produced a huge continuous (24/7) amount of methane, which was, probably still is, used as fuel for "cogeneration." Methane not used onsite, was either burnt-off or used to power generators for selling electricity back into the commercial grid.
Roughly 1/3 of that digester gas was methane. The rest was mostly CO2 which could've been used for high-lipid algae production and so on.
I'm a PhD chemist and I still loved this.
We had a household methane gas plant at home. We had household animals like cows, buffaloes, goats so always had sufficiency of raw materials. ;) The was even a ceiling lamp powered by gas. Bio-gas plant is a good option of energy if your guts are powerful enough. :D
GET IN THEM GUTS! LOL.
On a real note, if you have a surplus of methane, do you give some to the neighbors?
I feel like how they kept it in a 5gal water jug, I can probably do the same for my stoves at home. But the responsibility, I think, would be proper safe stowage, and also finding an appropriate hose adapter or fittings to whatever I need to connect my “methane tanks” too.
"Just kind of replicating the human digestive system"
Yeah, the digestive system of a person who eats raw ground beef and orange peels.

Electric companies, wait for me now!!!!!
Can you post set by step instructions and materials needed.
You can use any materials you want
There was me thinking they actually were gonna run a go kart :(
This video really turns me off of the IHOP pancakes commercial I got before this video started
Another incomplete clip, chopped off on both beginning and end, leaving me wondering why i watched it in the first place... :-(
Pointless vid
For all i know it looks like shit
*one ingredient you need to add to that*
Me:*PooP*
Who run Bartertown? MasterBlaster!
hahahaahaha only a few would get that reference
For my research purposes, what are those ingredients that were chopped off? And what is the name of the tube that they lit the fire from?
OMG I can smell it.
Thanks
From cow dung to gas, AMAZING!
So when you say "someone has gas", you mean he has methane?
Of course if it’s not to burn your butt it’s an easy experience to do , by the time you’re farting open a lighter and you would see for yourself and trust me I’m not joking it’s actually true
Where can I see these programs in full?
It is showing on BBC Brit in some places in the world but you would need to check your local listings
So that's why sewer lids dont like fire crackers
This is awesome, thank you!
Wanted to know if I can produce methane from all the useful biomass from our produce left overs. But I feel they would mostly go to worms to grow worm dung for fertilizer.
From their reaction I put my hand on my nose
No hydrochloric acid to mimic the process of digestion?
no. hydrochloric acid is used to break down the proteins in the food, it doesn't actually "digest" the food. they have no role in the creation of methane and the acidity will actually kill the bacteria in the guts.
@@CavePony I agree that's why there is a Acid to Alkalinity Ratio if you have to much acid everything will go sour and CH4 will not be produced.
Can you use other manure, such horse, chicken or even human?
With these rising gas prices we should take poop from Tennessee and turn it into methane fuel to power cars.
Aaaaand I'm done eating
it's not disgusting, it's science.
0:10 my face watching this shit
genome of rheum bacteria which produced cellulose into milk so we got genome mixing with methane producing bacteria genome mixing with nitrogen fixation bacteria genome so we got more complex compound for fractional distillations
Lol all I have to do is eat then fart
the smoothie is actually not too bad if there is no meat in it
Methane gas is great alternative of LPG for gas..
Lalit Joshi is part of liquid gas..
With the fuel prices going up and the fortnightly bins stacking up due to strikes; this may just solve the issues.
we know bacteria which produced methane then we put all the garbage in a big well with layers of bacteria culture so we got more complex compound for fractional distillations and got petroleum products
When they opened the dung for a second I thought I could smell it, why?!!
mild synesthesia
You farted
Now let's do this at home
So there's methane in my stomach? I haven't ate for hours so there's must been lots of methane being produced in my stomach, plus burping and farting. lol lol
There's gold in your gut!
Energy companies hate him, find out how he went off the grid with this one simple trick!
So anyway...... About powering that go-kart??
We could just create a harness for cows just like we did for their udders. You can harvest methane and milk at the same time
The way they react makes me throw up more than what they're actually doing
Imagine this in larger scale..
It would work better if we just attached hoses directly to cows butts. They're real wind bags! Maybe the farmers could house their cattle for part of the day in a barn that could siphone off that gas, because that's a lot of gas power that really needs recycling!
genome mixing which methane producing bacteria genome mixing with nitrogen fixation bacteria genome mixing which changing cellulose into milk will provide more complex compound for fractional distillations so we got more petroleum products
Vinegar works fine
this is not digestive system replication. This one lacks digesting acid. This is just fermentation. Any fermentation created methane.
Na nota all fermentation produce methane just waste and rot
There is oceans of this on titan
Why does the narrator say it like ME thane?
I was eating. Should have stopped watching when they made some artificial vomit.
Hypothetically is we could grow and mash up food sustainably with less energy, couldn't we have an infinite supply of energy ?
technically speaking, no, but effectively, it's might be possible
all of the energy on earth can be linked back to the sun and the sun will run out eventually
so no, not infinite, but possibly more sustainable
I would go with yes. Bio fuels are what you are referring to. The problem is the intereference of the production of fuel from food sources with food markets and pricing which will and does affect the poorest in the world.
But there are unlimited suns just need to get to them!
No, but food waste can be used. Some supermarkets already do this.
nice jemkem
we don't need Russia any more
and the best part is that once we're deep into shieeet, that's gonna be great
It's not full video
I would like you to zoom in faces more, ant see them clearly enough
Ohh geez I can even smell it from here
Heyy I hope you see my comment I was wondering
Could you use chicken poop in place of the cow dung for the bacteria????
Any manure will work.
Would yogurt work instead of cow dung?
Space Ninja no😅
Ah so this is how you make a gengar.
mithane gas
bloody posh-os
Wait ! These guys are overreacting after seeing cow dung or we Indians find it strange 🤨
C'mon this is quite normal in rural areas and small towns in india infact village ladies pick them by there BARE hands 😄
Basically Artificial Fart
Meethane
TLDR: Making renewable methane is a shitty job
Me thane ?
What happened to methane?
it is usefull at home...👍
Does humane poop work?
So, if it's pronounced "MEE-thane" in Britain, do British drug addicts do crystal MEEth? 😁
That logic doesn't really apply to English.
Depends how you break the word up...
You could break it up like:
Me-thane
Or
Meth-ane
Same logic applies for ethane
E-thane
Eth-ane
logic doesn't apply to English....
Tell mee about it.
What? Meth is a shortening of Methamphetamine. There the 'e' is sandwiched between two consonants and is therefore has the shortened 'eh' sound. In Methane the 'th' is in a separate syllable.
Is anyone else bothered by how they cut these videos short?
0:55 she covered her nose and said what's that noise. What?
Smelly things can also make noise. You've never been around someone who had a big taco lunch before?
I think she was referring to the noise of the chunks falling in, which probably sound pretty nasty.
She said "There's that noise!"
If only camera man can wobble more
MEthane gas
Me-Thayne is how they pronounce it across the pond?
So a 🐄 can product 250 liters of methane per day
Which can be calculated to 2.5 kilowatts of energy per day😂
Or 3.3 🐎 horsepower hr
I didn't see anyone asking, can I use my poo?
Ohhhh! I can smell it. 😫
We should use potential of methane plenty of animal,and food waste to make methane too warm our homes,and cook food with.
We sure should, but politicians are very much oblivious to this..
They think this process of making methane is disgusting and therefore we shouldn't do it.
But thats what the bottom soils is been doing for decades..
Bit of a no brainer to me ,easy solution to our fuel ,and power problems.!
@@carolinejayes157 The large scaling could have been done for decades, with the abundance that we don't need Russia for any gas supplies.
Is it possible to make methane from Tennessee poop?
Is it possible to make methane from Alabama poop also?
That's a waste of good food. As far as ingredients go all you need is fresh manure and a little manure that has already started decomposing.
What the hek is Meeephane?
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH now it's literally all around the world now.
So we had solution 4 years ago 👍👍 but we want to burn coal to power our electric cars 😄
Its methane! Not mee thane!

So this is what goes on in our stomachs when we fart? 🍑💨
Cow flesh mixed with cow shit
I was expecting for a big fart but now ......
I want to throw up
I wants go home. ME
Safety first people! You need to mark those containers, it's how we avoid accidents. Three days with no label? How do you expect people to know it is flammable?
Probably by trusting the fact that people don't normally go around setting random containers on fire.
***** Doesn't mean they don't inadvertently have an open flame around them. Hence the OSHA regulations about unmarked containers in the work place. Before you go off I understand that they are not in the U.S., I'm sure the U.K. has similar work place standards.
Yes we have the health and safety executive. But those rules you speak of wouldn't really apply because (a) it's not that much gas, so not dangerous, and (b) the containers are in a tv studio complex, that counts as a 'secure storage area' so the rules are more relaxed.
I was doing research on my science project, and I came across this🤮
These actors acr like jokers
Or you could give all that food to the starving African children and then collect their farts.
or they could eat the african children
Lauris Horn Ew gross
Wouldn't be a lot to eat
Africans dont fart methane.
So much camera shake.
You try recording when your environment smell very potentially of excrement
You could have used food scraps instead of actual food
Why show ppl how to create the leading cause of climate change
like 😁
But seriously... why would you use poop in real practical situation - instead of bacterial cultures, specifically chosen for maximum methane production.
Overacting it s normal n india
@ BBC Please stop the shaky hand held camera work and ridiculous jump cuts. It is stupid, dated and it makes me sick.
WOW, HARD TO WATCH… SHOW US HOW YOU GET A NEW CAMERAMAN
