Working on a new multi-fuel engine concept for a small scooter. There are many technicalities to work out including a name for the beauty. It is possible that the complete idea will end up flushed but I'm hoping it will be me that ends up flush.....err, I think.
It is going to be powered by methane and gasoline. We'll run a tube from the fuel calibrator to a gallon gas tank, then another to a small methane holding tank. From that, a tube up to a hole in the middle of the seat.
Preparation for a trip should begin the night before by filling the gas tank and consuming a large meal of cooked cabbage, pinto beans along with a few raw onions on the side. After the meal a good snack of roasted peas is suggested which could possibly increase the octane.
When you take off you may need to run on gasoline for a short period until the methane builds up then that will take over. If the methane begins to poop out the gas will cut in and run until the methane is again adequate for the job.
I can hear me going down the road now, putt, putt, putt, poot, poot, putt, putt, poot, poot, poot, putt, putt, putt.
Another obstacle to overcome is the riders probable desire to save gasoline which could have him straining somewhat to keep the methane level high enough. Too much effort could have him shittin and gettin down the road on gasoline.
I'm thinking about applying or a twenty nine million dollar, more or less, grant to help me get this thing on the road and believe a good name for it might help. A few has been suggested but I am open for more. A few ideas so far; 'Gas-a-go-go', 'Sit and Git', 'Buttrun Piston Popper', 'Grunt and Go', 'Smart Fart' and then my favorite, 'Poop De Ville'.
Oh well, like I said, it may not come to any real deal and all the time spent on it so far could be only a down the drain waste.
Waste kinda makes you think of the time you spent reading this huh?
