30 minutes = 1800 seconds

There are 8.2 Billion people

That means there are about 4.5 million farts per second across the globe. And that’s just for humans.

    Could this wasted energy be harnessed? In this paper I attach mini generators to the most flatulent (self-reported) members of the student body

    How often do people fart? I fart a few times a day and some days not at all. I’ve never tracked it but it’s a low enough number I remember today that I farted once while going to the bathroom when I woke up. I’m off to check webmd to see what’s wrong with me now.

      You fart more than that whether you are aware of it or not

      Depends on the day, I’m also leaving in a lot of slack for sleep farting.

      I’d say 8-10/day is a reasonable number.

      That still puts it at well over a million farts/second

    you ever hold in a fart so long you didnt have to fart anymore? you know what happens?

    the gases absorb into the walls of your intestines, into the blood stream, and are aspirated out through the lungs

    so let the fart out or youll have fart breath
