Power Your Car with Watermelon Juice
A watermelon inspired car, VW Beetle. You can see other fruity objects here.
In recent news, did you know that: “Watermelon Power May One Day Juice Your Car?” Yes, instead of gas.
Read more notes from Inhabitat:
The recent development was revealed by the USDA South Central Agricultural Research Laboratory in Lane, OK, which has been looking to watermelons to determine if their juice was a viable feedstock for biofuels. Not only did they determine it was, but they also determined that enough feedstock could be created from leftover watermelons already being grown. “About 20% of each annual watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes or because they are misshapen; currently these are lost to growers as a source of revenue.” So farmers could begin to sell their blemished watermelons for biofuels and create a new revenue stream rather then plow them back into the field.
