Inventor turns dead cats into diesel

A German inventor says he's found a way to make cheap diesel fuel out of dead cats.

Dr Christian Koch, 55, from Kleinhartmannsdorf, said his method uses old tyres, weeds and animal cadavers.

They are heated up to 300 Celsius to filter out hydrocarbon which is then turned into diesel by a catalytic converter.

He said the resulting "high quality bio-diesel" costs just 15 pence per litre.

Koch said the cadaver of a fully grown cat can produce 2.5 litres of fuel - meaning around 20 cats are needed for a full tank.

He said: "I tank my car with my own diesel mixture and have driven it for 105,000 miles without any problems."

Annelise Krauss of the Dresden Animal Protection Association blasted Koch's new diesel though, saying: "This is as bad as experimenting on animals."

Adds a new meaning to "catalytic converter". :rofl:

Time for a diesel bike perhaps - there are plenty of cats around my area...

[Sniper]

Hmmmm, that gives me so many reasons...........

[Ixion]

Do NOT let Mr Motu hear of this. Just don't.

[Biff]

Hmmmm, that gives me so many reasons...........

I'm with you dude.

"Honestly officer, we were only doing our bit for the environment"

[**R1**]

I'm with you dude.

"Honestly officer, we were only doing our bit for the environment"wonder if we can do the same with expired people:sherlock:

then i dont like cats much anyway...the chinese can eat em
and we can carge $1.00per Litre for em.

Shouldn't we charge less considering normal diesel prices

[eliot-ness]

the motor should really purr on that stuff

[Karma]

Just install a scoop on the front of the bike, a little cat-burning stove on the back and you've got your own eco-friendly bike!

*Hides her cats.

[Timber020]

Right I just went around the neighbourhood, now what do i do with the 102 dead cats????

[vfrboy]

$1.00 per litre??, hang on .22 rounds are about 10c, plenty of cats around here. Think the .30 is a bit big for them though :devil2:

[inlinefour]

However looking for live cats for fuel. I think they'd fight back...

[Oakie]

I wonder how fur you can get on a full tank?

Mechanics will not have to clean up carbon deposits from cylinders ... just furr-balls...

Can you imagine the sound it makes hurtling thru the corners ....
meeeeeeeowwwwwwww....

'cat-alytic converter' - ha ha ha ha ha - brilliant. I'm always going to think of this whenever I hear the term. At some time in the future some poor vehicle salesman is going to say 'catalytic converter' to me and I'm going to go into paroxisms of laughter on the ground at his feet. Yes I'll be catatonic.

Wonderful.

[strayjuliet]

Yes I'll be catatonic.

Is that what happens to a cat that has drinkin' too much gin & tonic???

[MacD]

Why use cats when dogs are bigger and easier to catch? :devil2:

[Motu]

I have opperatives missing in action - can you return the flea collars please so I can inform the next of kin....not my favorite task.

I wonder of possum cadavers could produce a similar result? I could pick up half a tanks worth on my way to work.

[ben444]

don't forget to pick up this one...

[Dadpole]

Just install a scoop on the front of the bike, a little cat-burning stove on the back and you've got your own eco-friendly bike!

You make 'em, I'll sell 'em.
We'll be rich - RICH I tell you

Heard that on the radio yesterday and thought:

"Mmmm, the Lion Man is not far from here. I wonder how much fuel I could get out of a Lion or a Tiger. It would put a whole new spin on an old saying "Putting a tiger in your tank":devil2:

[Lou Girardin]

If a cat makes 2.5 litres, the corpse of any bastard that had a go at ours would make about 20.
C'mon punk, fill my tank.

That's mean. I would like to see ya try to get a tiger from the Lion Mans park lol, would be good for a laugh.

[Mooch]

Sounds like I need to track down this inventer and turn him into diesel . He's prbably worth 40 cats .Maybe I'll use him for rear a tyre traction exercise. Anyone in NZ that considers this will have me to anwser to ! ( my much loved cat is on holiday with grand parents )

[Mooch]

don't forget to pick up this one...

Are there any production diesel bikes? Imagine the torque

Nope - but there is a Dutch company that has just developed a single cylinder diesel machine. It's currently under test, possible launch next year apparently.

That'd be cool to say - "Yeh that my bike, and yeh - it runs on pussy" :rofl:

Or 'pussy-juice' even.
