The Boat That Uses Human Fat For Fuel

EcoBoatPA1_800x529.jpg

From the Daily Mail:

"The fastest eco boat on the planet will attempt to break the round the world speed record using fuel made from human fat. . . Bethune and his wife mortgaged their house and sold everything they own to help make the project happen, while continuing to seek support from sponsors. Demonstrating further commitment to the cause, Bethune underwent liposuction and donated enough to produce 100ml of biofuel, while two other, larger volunteers also had the procedure, making a total of 10 litres of human fat. This in turn produced seven litres of biofuel, which could help the boat travel about 15km."
