some people just can’t leave sh*t alone...

LOL! Well hey, since it's humor break time, why don't we all just sit back, pop a cold beer and shoot the sh*t for awhile?

How much CO2 does it take to heat up a plasma bolt?

My late father was as a semi-country kid in a small town in southern IL. He and his friends became totally familiar with the entertainment possibilities of cow pies. One relied on a kid’s ability to judge the dryness of a cow pie. Dry enough, and one could step on it barefoot with no trouble but not dry enough and the stepper would have his whole foot soaked in cow poop. They’d catch ignorant city kids and get their victims to step barefoot on the not dry enough cow pies.

A healthy forest is a forest that is harvested on a regular basis. Chop down the trees for the forest products industry. And replant the area with baby trees. A forest that is left alone will eventually catch fire and burn down. Massive air pollution and millions of dollars of destruction and many deaths of wild life and of humans. Plant trees and harvest the forest. Repeat. I do not like forest fires. Forest fires are not healthy.

Dried, you can burn them in the stove.

You obviously don’t understand how this plasma process works. It increases the fertilizer value of the manure not destroys it. In addition to eliminating harmful free ammonia and free methane neither of which is good to spread all over an open field nor have in a pile that could explode due to spontaneous combustion as manure piles do from time to time.

More.scientific backing of the process. Which looks to be a winner.

For plasma municipal trash waste disposal the energy used vs energy produced is 3 to one as in it take one third of the produced energy from combustion of the plasma reactors off gasses to power the plasma and 2/3 are sold has next power to the grid. The same ratio would be expected with any carbon and hydrogen based material such as grasses, cellulose or hemicellulose which is what biomass is made of and cow faeces is just partially digested grass nearly 100% composed of cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose.

“Treating manure and biogas with plasma gas
George Bingham runs 750 cows on his dairy farm and tested this innovative technology from Norwegian company N2 Applied in 2018. This technology treats manure or biogas digestate with a plasma gas. The N2 manure processor fixates nitrogen from air by splitting the N2 and O2 molecules in air into N and O atoms forming nitrogen oxides. The nitrogen oxides are absorbed into liquid manure or biogas digestate and combined with free ammonia to form ammonium nitrate. The process improves the agronomic and environmental characteristics of the product by reducing ammonia emissions and making the nitrogen available for direct plant uptake.”

No, I obviously don’t. And at least, unlike most FReepers, you explained the process, so kudos to you.
