Turn your house into fuel for your car...
posted by hdittmer at 7:21 AM
Nobel prize winning physicist Steven Chu believes that those termites who are eating your house have the secret to cheap replenishable fuel. It turns out that somehow termites are able to turn cellulose into an ethanol-like fuel. If we could do that as well as the termite then you might use your grass clippings to fuel your car. The secret is inside the termite's stomach and Steven wants to find out what it is. I can not wait because I have lots of grass clippings and they are cheaper than gas these days. So what can you learn from nature that will make quantum leap in the performance of your products?
