For those with the generator questions lately, how about urine powered? - AllGold - 11-13-2012
Urine for fuel would avoid the lines at gas stations.

Great.. but where does the power for the Electrolytic cell that "separates the hydrogren" come from? That's not an energy producing reaction, to my knowledge...

I sure wouldn't run out of fuel...

Its the new Nigerian scam.
Wouldnt water work better? As mentioned by Paul. Seperating the "liquid" into hydrogen requires energy.

IIRC, room-temperature electrolysis is only about 60% efficient,.
Then you're burning the hydrogen in a 25% efficient generator.

Why not skip a step and just burn the leftover husks from the hops and barley to make the beer, and use the urine to irrigate the fields for more hops and barley ? It will take a significant commitment in ability to consume the beer, but it's a worthy cause !
