As we despair at energy sources some very basic considerations have been clearly overlooked. Mother Nature offers answers and many of these concepts cleanup our environment in the process.

microorganisms found in cow waste may provide a reliable source of
electricity.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/09/050901074943.htm"><P>Results showed that the microbes in about a half a
liter of rumen fluid – fermented, liquefied feed extracted from the
rumen, the largest chamber of a cow's stomach – produced about 600
millivolts of electricity. That's about half the voltage needed to run
one rechargeable AA-sized battery, said Ann Christy, a study co-author
and an associate professor of food, agricultural and biological
engineering at Ohio State University.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/09/050901074943.htm">While rumen fluid itself
won't be used as an energy source, some of the microorganisms found in
the fluid are also found in cow dung, which may prove to be a good
source for generating electricity. In fact, in a related experiment,
the researchers used cow manure directly to create energy for a fuel
cell.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0B90C732-3C2D-4E85-B9A9-AE936D67A9FF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
