“Onodera’s team added a portion of the digested glop to a second container filled with rancid milk. When the solution was starved of oxygen and kept at a relatively neutral pH, it yielded eight times its own volume in biogas over a one-week period. Half the captured biogas was hydrogen, the other half carbon dioxide. By periodically replacing part of the bacteria-laden sludge with milk and making sure the solution remained at the right pH, Onodera found that the system continuously produced biogas until he stopped it 100 days later. By then, the solution was yielding more than five times its own volume in biogas every two days.” By Bryn Nelson

I think this man Onodera is cool because not only has he fascinated me with making gas out of milk but now he is trying to use the same technology to get the power out of other unnecessary trash from schools such as pushed-aside carrots, detested peas, or his own son’s nemesis, the tomato. Also they are thinking they can take power out of jellyfishes.
