Your Breath as Biofuel
There are a few things that all inhabitants of our planet have in common, most notably, we all eat, shit and die. Imagine using what all humans do during that time to harness energy: Breathe – otherwise known as CO2 emissions.
The John Lennon Airport, in Liverpool, U.K has begun implementing a new technology called the Eco-box which transforms the air that travelers exhale and converts it into fuel to power its diesel vehicles and heating systems.
Where do you think would be the best places to harness your breath? Just don’t say the DMV, because I could totally see them spinning that into a justification for their long lines.
