One point eight billion tons around 83 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: the world of food go to waste. What's interesting is 84 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: it's not just developed countries. Developing countries waste about as 85 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: much food per person is developed countries too. Yeah. I 86 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: wonder if they waste though, because they can't help it, 87 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: because they don't have like the refrigerators and the storage 88 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: that we do. I don't know. And here we just 89 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, toss it away, like so many discarded you know, yeah, 90 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: business cards, Well, there's a wow.

There's like a little dirty secret 97 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: among grocery stores where if fruit or vegetable produce it's 98 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: called collectively UM. Doesn't really look quite right, but it's 99 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: totally fine. Like examples I've seen as UM, like a 100 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: slight bruise to a tomato or something like that, or 101 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: a carrot that's not straight enough, they just throw it away. Yeah, 102 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: we've covered that and something I can't remember what if 103 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: it seems like we have, haven't we Yeah, it's sad. 104 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: I feel that they should have a well, I want 105 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: to bring it out into the light again. Well, they 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: should have a misshapen fruit and vegetable store where you 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: can buy a crooked carrot that tastes just as good 108 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: like one of the drawings from the Far Side, like 109 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: owns and operates this store. Remember the people like they 110 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: had like crooked heads and everything. I bet people would 111 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: buy this stuff though, if you you know, if you're uh, 112 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: don't have as much money, you might want to buy 113 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: a tomato that has a bruise and just cut that 114 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: little part off. Just a thought. I think it's a 115 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: good thought. So one point three, I think I said 116 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: one point eight. But one point three billion pounds tons 117 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: of food is wasted every year. That's just food, dude. Um. 118 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty, the average Americans generated two point six 119 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: eight pounds of waste a day. Today we're up to 120 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: about four point six pounds a day. You know what 121 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: it is in Chicago. You know, we mentioned Chicago in 122 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: this article as being overrun with garbage. In two thousand ten, 123 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: the average Chicago and produced fifteen pounds of waste fifteen 124 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: point four pounds per day. Is that garbage? I don't know, 125 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: And I think we're up, Like I think Chicago was 126 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: up three percent from the nineteen eighties. So I don't 127 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: know what's going on there, but they're like double what 128 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: they are in the state of Illinois period. That is 129 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: really nuts. I'm really curious what's going on there, just 130 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: doing UM and so overall we're producing, apparently most of 131 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: it from Chicago, two thirty million tons of waste in 132 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: the US every year. UM. And there are there is 133 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: there are some programs that are set up to where like, uh, 134 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: somebody who runs a landfill where all this stuff is 135 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: going and decomposing and producing methane, they may capture that methane, 136 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: burn it off UM or save it and use it 137 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: for you know, productive stuff. Or there's also UM things 138 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: called waste of energy facilities that just burn trash and 139 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: then the heat from that that incineration power creates steam 140 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: that powers turbines that generate electricity that make business cards 141 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: so that you throw away the circle of life is complete. 142 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: So I mean, there is there are programs in place 143 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: that UM that make productive use out of trash. This 144 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: is gonna be trashed anyway. But like that waste of 145 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: energy facility, that's just burning trash that generates a lot 146 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: of horrible stuff, horrible pollution. There are actually programs that 147 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: are even better that could someday be used to power 148 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: our cars through garbage. It's pretty awesome. Yeah, And of 149 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: course this article starts off with a little Back to 150 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: the Future reference. How can you not talk about garbage 151 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: fueling cars without mentioning Mr Fusion? So you thought about 152 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: that too, Yeah, immediately I told you menew what we 153 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,559 Speaker 1: were doing. She's like, oh, like back to the Future, 154 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, really, of course. I mean 155 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: I love that movie, but that's not what I think 156 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: of with garbage power cars. I forgot that he even 157 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: does that. Oh to me, that was a big impactful 158 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: scene at the end when he comes back in the 159 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: spaceship cracks open the Mr Fusion and puts like a 160 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: beer can and old beer and a banana pel in there. 161 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, is that what the future 162 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: is gonna be like? And the answers, no, well, not 163 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: too far off. Maybe, Well let's talk about the how 164 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg got it wrong. That was is Robert se 165 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: mecas he produced it, that Spielberg producing I'm pretty sure 166 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: he did. Okay, you just want to blame him for everything. 167 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: I get a get a beef Spielberg beef. Um. Alright, 168 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: So gasification is what we're talking about, and it is 169 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: actually possible in this day and age, right now today 170 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: to create liquid fuel that you can burn in your 171 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: car from garbage. Yeah. Um. The the basis of this 172 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: is something called sin gas or synthesized or synthesis or 173 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: synthetic gas. Yes, but it's everybody's calls it sing gas 174 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: for sure, and it's the product of oh, I guess, 175 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: accelerated decomposition. Yeah, from what they call feedstock, which is 176 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: basically just your source fuel. And in this case, feed 177 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: stock can be everything from asphalt and sewage, fossil fuels. 178 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Of course we know about uh two plastics, biomass and 179 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: agg waste and garbage municipal solid waste. Yeah. As long 180 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: as it's not metal or glass yea, and it's carbon 181 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: based it, well you can make sing gas out of it. 182 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: That should be in your recycling then people. Yeah, that 183 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: old bedframe of yours recycling. Um, although would if it's oh, 184 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: you mean the battle that frame. Yeah, yeah, you know 185 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: that that cheap one. They always it's like, that's so 186 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: hard to put together and you like pinch your fingers. Um. 187 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: So uh. The process of creating sin gas um uses 188 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: not combustion but intense heat, way more heat than it 189 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: would take for a normal combustion. I think degrees fahrenheight 190 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: um and about a thousand pounds of pressure. But it's 191 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: in a very low oxygen environment. So this stuff doesn't ignite, 192 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't burn, It undergoes a chemical reaction called pyrolysis. Yeah. 193 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: The key here is heat without flame or one of 194 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: the keys. And this is not new. This sounds like 195 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: the future. But um, back in the six hundreds in 196 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: Belgium they were using wood and coal to power street 197 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: lamp so it was called town gas and they did 198 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: this also during World War Two during fuel shortages, they 199 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: made sin gas from wood chips and powered vehicles using them. 200 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: So it's not like a new thing, no. Pair. The 201 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: apartheid era South Africa did the same thing because they 202 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: were under international sanctions were basically cut off from the 203 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: rest of the world. Yeah remember that. Yeah, what was 204 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: the dude from the Eastreet Band he was the consultant 205 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: from Springsteen. No, the other guy, Glarence Clemens. No, the 206 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: other guy stevens An, Yes, little Stephen, he's who I 207 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: associate with. Don't play sun City. Yeah. I think it's 208 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: like a big proponent, I always think. And then he 209 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: did the Sopranos and forgot about son City, and now 210 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: he was a consultant and the guy who created the Sopranos. 211 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: Oh to being in a garage band in the sixties. Yeah, 212 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: I want to see that. I heard it's good, supposed 213 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: to be awesome. Um so okay, So you take your 214 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: your feedstock, which is what we're specifically talking about his 215 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: garbage today. Um, you take your garbage. Say you're been 216 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: an appeals, okay, and you want to dry him out 217 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: because that's how it goes. But you you put them 218 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: under in this thing called a gas of fire, which 219 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: depending on whether you make went at home, which there's 220 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: videos on YouTube for how to make them, or you 221 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: could go down to Tampa and see one that's that 222 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: provides power for sixty homes. But a gas fire is this, 223 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: uh in this low oxygen, high pressure, high temperature environment 224 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: that produces pyrolysis. Um that chemical change that chemical decomposition 225 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: where this carbon based feedstock, uh, the volatile chemicals basically 226 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: separate from it and it becomes this thing called char, 227 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: and the char is further reduced to um, carbon monoxide, 228 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: and hydrogen, and that is sin gas. And that sin 229 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: gas alone could power certain types of vehicles. I think 230 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: the the Honda Civic in g V and apparently there 231 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: are in Toronto. Of course, in Canada they're always doing 232 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: great things like this. They have garbage trucks and busses 233 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: I think, or no, maybe dis garbage trucks that run 234 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: on compressed natural gas. So you could actually fuel it 235 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: with sin gas UM. In order to use that fuel, 236 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: what more widespread, you have to convert it to ethanol UM. 237 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: And there's a company that's interviewed in this article how 238 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: garbage powered cars could work. Yeah, I guess that's how 239 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: you say it. Yeah. UM. And they take sin gas 240 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: and they feed it to a bunch of um bacteria 241 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: in a vat of water. That's amazing, and this bacteria, 242 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: equally amazing, are patented. Disturbing. I don't think life forms 243 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: should be patentable, but yes, it is a patented bacteria 244 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: that eats sing gas. And then expels ethanol. And then 245 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: they add a little gasoline to the ethanol. The d 246 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: nature it so they don't have to pay a twenty 247 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: seven dollar a gallon liquor tax. Yeah, that's amazing to me. 248 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: It's almost the same thing as moonshine until you d 249 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: nature it. So they said, add a little gas to it, 250 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: and we don't have to pay that tax, right, spirit tax? 251 00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: How much is it? Like it's gallon? Yeah, and I 252 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: mean they're producing a lot of ethanol as much as 253 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: they can. That's a lot of extra money they don't 254 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: have to pay just from adding a little gasoline. Um, 255 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: and then what you have is engine grade ethanol ready 256 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: to be mixed with gasoline, which if you go to 257 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: a gas station, there's a pretty good chance you'll see 258 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: a sticker that says this gas may contain up the 259 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: fifteen percent ethanol. So your car that you're driving now 260 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: can run on the sin gas created from garbage, or 261 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: if you have a flex fuel car, uh, that that 262 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: can use up the ethanol gasoline. So we could use 263 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: even more of this stuff. Don't they have ethanol only pumps? Yeah, 264 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: like ten or they say, or ethanol only Oh is 265 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: that right? I think so I might be wrong there 266 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: that maybe flex fuel, which is more I've seen. I 267 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: have seen ethanol, but I've seen flex fuel more frequently. 268 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: And then you see like that ten mixture eighty five 269 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: gas or fifteen percent ethanol mixture like almost everywhere. Yeah, 270 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: that's how I screw up, like every eater I've ever had, 271 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: because you have to mix the oil and the and 272 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: the the two cycles. Gas man, I always do it wrong. 273 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: I remember that. He used to be like lawn boy, 274 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: why are you so difficult? So? Um, one of the 275 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: things you want to do here is well, first you 276 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: got to separate all the garbage. That's one of the problems. 277 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: But you want stuff that's uniform and stuff that, um, 278 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: if it melts, it's not good apparently. So even though 279 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: you can use things like diapers for gas and ethanol, 280 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: it's pretty awesome. Um, what you want is something more 281 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: like would something carbon base that well just sort of 282 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: disappear when it gets hot, right, um. And wood is 283 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: probably the best feedstock forcing gas because apparently it leaves 284 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: about two behind uh. And the rest is the rest 285 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: becomes sing gas. Uh. And it's not all sing gas 286 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: like there are other things, especially even in wood, something 287 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: is pure as would um, there are impurities. Uh, if 288 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: you're burning PVC plastic, there's a lot of impurities. But 289 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about um using a gasifier to produce 290 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: sing gas from any kind of feed stock is it's 291 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: this closed um system and you can control and separate 292 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: all those different chemicals and impurities out, so you just 293 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: have piercing gas, which when burned has burned at a 294 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: really high temperature, so it has almost no emissions when 295 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: you use just the sing gas. And that's no matter 296 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: what feed stock is originally used, zero emissions because whatever 297 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: feeds like you use, you can you can sort these 298 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: impurities out and in some cases you can reuse the impurities, 299 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: like if you use discarded tires. Apparently there's a hundred 300 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: and eighty eight million scrap tires just sitting around in 301 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: the US breeding mosquitoes catching fire randomly for eight months. Yeah. Um, 302 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: they figured out that they can use tires, scrap tires 303 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: as a feedstock for sing gas and even cooler. After 304 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: the sing gas is separated, you still have that char 305 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: leftover you can use at and it's more efficient than 306 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: regular coal. Really yeah wow, So I mean there's really 307 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: not too many downsides to creating sing gas because you're 308 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: especially if you're using it as if you're using garbage 309 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: as a fizza, because it was gonna go to waste anyway, right, True, 310 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: that's a good point, um, And I don't know if 311 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: you'd count them as problems. There are some setbacks, Uh. 312 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: The reason why this isn't so widespread is there are 313 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: setbacks like, um, you know, you gotta sort through this waste. 314 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: You can't just go to your landfill and dump a 315 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: truckload of garbage. You know, you have to separate it 316 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: and make sure it's the right kind of stuff. So 317 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: that costs money. You have to get rid of the 318 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: bed frames, the glass, that stuff, yep, and so, and 319 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: you need to get it fairly uniform. So there is 320 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: some money, um, and costs involved in in the like 321 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: the preparatory stages that probably I guess aren't feasible right 322 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: now in a widespread manner. And then there's also the 323 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: thing we've talked about this plenty of times. Remember we 324 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: talk about energies, the net energy ratio. Yeah, you want 325 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: more energy put out then you put into it or 326 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: else it's just not viable. And apparently a study of biofuels, 327 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: found that almost all of them require more energy. Like 328 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: the lowest they found more sunflower oil. Apparently, like a 329 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: biofuel based on that requires more. So you have to 330 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: put in two to get out one or one to one. 331 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: So that's the battle then to keep making that smaller. Right, 332 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: But the beauty thing with sing gases, that's not necessarily 333 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: the case. Now I don't know about this this company, 334 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: what is it costaca um what how much more coskata? 335 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: How much more energy it requires for them to turn 336 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: that sing gas into um ethanol? And if they you know, 337 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: if there's a net energy loss or a gain or what. 338 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: But um, if you're just burning sing gas, there's it's 339 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: it's it's very elegant, it's very clean, and there's um 340 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: there's like I think it's it's a net energy gain. Awesome. Well, 341 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: one of the other problems is you gotta dry it 342 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: out to UH. You can't throw like you can use 343 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: waste materials like um biomass uh like leftover pulp and 344 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: stuff from wood mills, grass and corn. But that's moist 345 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: and so you have to remove the moisture, which is 346 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: gonna cost a little more money. And then the article 347 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: mentions too. On the other end, you're gonna have a 348 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: little issue with uh ash producing too much ash, right, 349 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: depending on what you use. Yeah, so that's like what 350 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: you said, wood is the best because they only produce 351 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: about two But um, if you're not using wood, you're 352 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: gonna have leftover ash to deal with. But it can, 353 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: like we found with tires punting old tires, you you 354 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: have that stuff left over, and sometimes it can be 355 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: useful depending on what you're doing with that's true. And 356 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: I know they recycled the water use in the little 357 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: bacterial process, which is kind of cool. Um. Another advantage 358 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: of creating sin gases. I read a study that found 359 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: you can take c O two and inject it into 360 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: a gap a fire and it actually produces more sin gas, 361 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: more carbon monoxide. Right, So that if you can sequest 362 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: your CEO two from say like a regular cold fire 363 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: power plant and bringing it to a sin gas plant, 364 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: you can use it for that to convert it into 365 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: something useful rather than just polluting it. Interesting. Yeah, yeah, 366 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: And I think that this stuff, like, the more you 367 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: work toward these problems, the cheaper it's it's gonna get. 368 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the reasons that petroleum is the 369 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: way to go is because we've been using it for 370 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: so long and it's become like one of the more 371 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: uh cost efficient ways to fuel a car. Um may 372 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: not seem like it these days, but they've got the 373 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: process downpacks they've been doing it for you know, decades, 374 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: Like think about fifty or sixty years from now where 375 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: we might be with some of this stuff, be using 376 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: bananas and beer, just putting it right into our car. 377 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: You know, how about this dude, chip Beam? Did you 378 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: look this guy up? He's the guy that Yeah, he 379 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: took an all this easy trooper and basically cut the 380 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: rear um covered portion out to where it has like 381 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: a pickup bed and has a big kettle there where 382 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: he burns wood chips. And he has been running this 383 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: eight eight a scissor trooper on wood for quite a 384 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: while now to stop speed not too bad. Yeah it's 385 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: good city speed. Yeah it's getting around town car and 386 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: uh apparently it's it's it's the original engine. Like he 387 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: didn't have to modify the engine at all. And it 388 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: smells like faintly of charcoal barbecue. That's really interesting that 389 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: he didn't modify the engine, not the least bed and 390 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: crazy and he's working on a Mercury and ninety one 391 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: Mercury cougar. His goal is to make the fastest wood 392 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: burning car in the world. His goal, So I guess 393 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: forty five if he wants to go like seventy Didn't 394 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: that just the voke images of like Granny Clampit, like 395 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: on a rocking chair on top of the Clampit family car. Yeah, 396 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: I like this guy that. That's pretty awesome. I do too, 397 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: But I had a question about his setup. So, like, 398 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: if you're creating sin gas and like this closed and ironment, 399 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: you're able to trap impurities and use them or sequester 400 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: them or do whatever with them to keep them from 401 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: enterning the atmosphere. If you're if you're creating sing gas 402 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: as you're burning it, what kind of emissions are there 403 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: from that? I had a question about that. I don't know. 404 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: I bet we could get in touch with chip Beam. Well, 405 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: let's do it. It It seems forgettable. Yeah, do you got anything? Uh? No, 406 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: I I think that's it. We touched on everything. Stop 407 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: wasting food? What is wrong with you? Stop wasting food? Yeah? 408 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: I think that's everything. Okay, Uh, if you want to 409 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: learn more about garbage, powered cars, energy, all that kind 410 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: of stuff. You can type any of that into the 411 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: search bar at how stuffworks dot com. Also try typing 412 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: gasification G A S I, F I C A T 413 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: I O N into the search bar. They'll bring up 414 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: a pretty cool companion article that we worked off of 415 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: as well. Um and I said, search barge means it's time, 416 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: of course for a listener. Mayo, that's right, Josh, I'm 417 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: gonna call this yet another or librarian email unless people 418 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: don't want to hear from librarians anymore. I think to charge. 419 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: I think they've read like a couple this mix. Three 420 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: guys graduated from library school in May and started to 421 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: work at a small university library in South Texas. Like 422 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: many librarians, I've always been very passionate about banned books 423 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: and censorship. While in library school, as a president of 424 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: my university student chapter of the American Library Association, our 425 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: group decided to sell t shirts as a fundraiser. Several 426 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: of the officers created design ideas and we asked students 427 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: to vote on their favorite before we started taking orders. 428 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: The majority of students voted for a design including quotes 429 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: from out of copyright books from out of copyright books, 430 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: including many frequently challenged or band books said over a 431 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: drawing of an open book. I sent out several emails 432 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: and students to promote the design and start taking orders. 433 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: After receiving several of these orders, I received an email 434 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: from a student was upset about the design. He was 435 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: most upset about a Kurt Vonnegut quote. I don't want 436 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: to get into specifics of the email, but I was 437 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: appalled that a library school student wanted to censor our 438 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: library school group. As librarians, we are obligated to provide information, 439 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: not limited. We ended up using quotes about intellectual freedom, 440 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: the freedom to read, and censorships and libraries to appease 441 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: the naysayers. I'm still bitter about the entire situation. You 442 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: can't wait to hang out my band Books Week posters 443 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: on my office store. So her plan, Megan's plan for 444 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: band Books Week is to read as many of them 445 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: as she can. The good barriages. Everyone could do the 446 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: same thing, and to eat the traditional band book week 447 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: Swedish meatballs. That's right, So cheers from South Texas from Megan, 448 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: and enjoy those band books and Swedish meatballs. Yeah. Thanks 449 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: A lot Megan, Thanks to everybody who celebrates Ban Books Week. Um, 450 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: if you have a suggestion for a ban book, your 451 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: favorite band book, we want to hear it. We'll tell 452 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: everybody about it. Let's just get talking about it, Okay, guys.
