Discover Magazine had an article about two years ago about this exact thing. A plant was put near a Butterball Turkey factory, and turned turkey offal into gasoline. It basically went something like this: 1. Stuff is put into a 1000 HP or so blender. 2. Stuff is heated to about 500 F 3. The waste is then put into a flashing chamber, where the pressure and temp drop suddenly, so as to remove 95% of the water. 4. It is reheated to 900 F 5. It is cooled and filtered, which ends up becoming about: 70% water 20% gasoline 5% kerosene some napthalene some other hydrocarbons basic metals and minerals Over all this process is 90 to 95% efficient, meaning if you drop a 175 pound person into the system, it will take about 9lbs of person to fuel the whole process. Also, it can be fueled by anything with the basic elements, H,C, and O. Turkey offal, cow dung, garbage, medical waste, plastic, and even people ;) Now suddenly, the process is reappearing two years later? I don't mean to speculate, but you could probably thank some wealthy oil baron for it not arriving sooner. This process could fully eliminate the need for E85, diesel cars running off of vegetable oil, and Hydrogen fuel cells. Thanks for your time, MUOhioKnight
