Show me the math. How much energy does it take to extract the keratin and convert into fuel as opposed to how much energy it produces.

Take your time.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Chickens are the most useful critters on the planet!

I’ll start saving feathers...just in case this ends up actually working. ;)

Chicken houses - - -

Don’t they also have other fuels, such as methane?

Make sure they are chicken feathers.

Messing with feathers from ‘protected’ birds can get you in big trouble.

You’d think. But when I’d help my uncle and aunt gather eggs in the summer I was always amazed at how quickly the chicken ate up other chicken’s poop. I guess they have built-in catalytic converters. LOL

They aren’t used to make fuel. They are used to make a part for a hydrogen fuel cell................

There’s a lot of bio material you can make a battery with. Potatoes and lemons are most popular for doing Mr Wizard stuff with kids. But tons of things work.
