found something a bit odd but the idea is there

Geoplasma (associated with Atlanta-based Jacoby Development Inc.) is a company that plans to use garbage as fuel and produce electricity. Taking a gasification approach (materials are converted to gas which is then used to turn turbines instead of the conventional approach of garbage being burnt, producing steam, and then turning the turbines to generate electricity). But why the name Geoplasma? Because that's what they intend to accomplish.

this is about electricity production but I saw it on television for running a car a man was doing it in his backyard

found something on the upper pages but it is still not what this man was doing in his backyard he was heating a 50 gallon drum with garbage inside to make a fuel he could rapidly put into his vehicle some sort of liquid.

Burning biomass is not the only way to release its energy. Biomass can be converted to other usable forms of energy like methane gas or transportation fuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Methane gas is the main ingredient of natural gas. Smelly stuff, like rotting garbage, and agricultural and human waste, release methane gas - also called "landfill gas" or "biogas." Crops like corn and sugar cane can be fermented to produce the transportation fuel, ethanol. Biodiesel, another transportation fuel, can be produced from left-over food products like vegetable oils and animal fats.

Answer 1

It takes extreme heat and pressure.
It is much easier to convert garbage to methane.

Answer 2

Probably less difficult than pumping it out of the ground. Chances are the oil company's have the pattend locked away some were.

Answer 3

Nope, but didnt they do that in the movie called Back to the Future?

Answer 4

wouldnt we be doing that already if it was possibly .never heard of it .garbage when you burn it turns to ashes not liquid form .dont think theres a way.

Answer 5

Pressure, heat, and time.
