I live in Arkansas, and these plants are out in my field. There is a patch of them. It doesn't really look natural or look like they are wild. It looks like someone planted them at one time or another. Maybe it could be a clue to an old homesite? I want to look for a well but it is summer and everything is so grown up right now. I think I will metal detect in the winter to learn more about this spot. Also there are rocks where the plants are growing... Anyone know what this means?

I've already tried picking dandelions. The latex that you get from them is very limited, but you CAN make a rubber band, or a pencil eraser, if you get enough.

How does one get latex out of a sweet potato? Does it come from the vine or the tuber? How would you extract it? Any other temperate-zone plants with milky sap that dries stretchy, not sticky or gummy or sugary...?

BTW, I've read numerous bios of GWC on line and in libraries. While they all say he turned sweet potatoes into gasoline and rubber, etc., none of them give details. Did he actually succeed, or was he just thinking about it?Are the processes patented? I just want a small scale demo.

Please, serious answers only. Thanks everybody.

the cellulosic vegetation is decomposed into carbon & minerals by the saprophytic fungi & these elements are returned to the same environment from where they were obtained.

Question: Would it be possible for the body to absorb photonic energy from the sun and drink water to sustain all it's biological processes? Just as a plant does through photosynthesis.

My thoughts:

Since all fruits and vegetables, as we currently know, store photonic energy as carbohydrates. Which in turn, humans eat [to cultivate energy from] these sources to maintain homeostasis and store unutilized cellular energy as adipose tissue (fat) to to be utilized at a later date.

I believe all things are inter-connected through "The Circle Of Life". That being as it may, from a bioetheric and genetic perspective, then wouldn't it be easier to just get enery directly from the source [The Sun] and drink water to sustain one's self.

What are your thoughts?
