Researchers from Ohio State University have shown that the fermented, liquefied feed extracted from a cow’s stomach can produce about 600 millivolts. The juice comes from the rumen, the biggest portion of a cow’s stomach. Unlike converting methane from cow shit into electricity, a method that requires expensive gear, this method generates electricity as the microorganisms in rumen fluid break down the complex carbohydrates in roughage.

It makes sense. Boing Boing’s been running on bullshit for quite awhile now. Maybe they should seek royalties.
