so, neverminddddd

Natural gas simply doesnt have as much energy content per
kilogram as avgas (aviation gasoline) or the various types of jet
fuel. It could be done, but probably not economically.

in the middle of the 20th century---i am not making this up--nitro
glycerin (dynamite) was joked amongst neighbor
kids as the way to really speed

this part i am making-up:

apparently a party was caught (maybe killed) using it at the local
race track,

how would they know about it if people weren't experimenting with it

so, it immediately (and STP) came to mind when i was thinking
"additives"

Why not use passenger flatuence?

The plane would never run out of fuel if they fed the pasengers the
right food!

Did you plagarize that joke from the Mel Brooks Collection ?

He did that semi-terrific mock cowboy-astronaut-circus freak-
Hitchcockian movie BLAZING SADDLES--SPACE BALLS--ELEPHANT MAN--HIGH
ANXIETY in which the burp-tagonists consumed baked beans around a
campfire to fulfill a similar corn-flakey adolescent joke*

*not that there's anything gauche about that

No this is not a joke!

While much of our farm prducts are being used for bio fuels, why not use
the waste AFTER the products are digested.

Everyone knows how explosive digestive gas is, so is the manure, dung
etc.

Who needs expensive imported fuel, when we make it ourselves!

The problems with digestive gas is how do you capture them. The
methane from manure decompisition can be used on farms for various uses.
The problem there is more along the lines of amount of available methane
makes it unlikely most can use it for much more than local needs. Of
course, every gallon of oil you don't use on a particular farm...

No Problem

The methane gas is collected by a small pipe that the passenger sits on
in his seat.

If the passenger fails to contribute his or her quota he is charged a
fuel surgharge at the end of the fight.
