fartpower

Fartpower is a colloquial term referring to the potential energy or force that can be derived from flatulence. While not a scientifically recognized form of energy generation, it is a concept often explored in humor and speculative fiction. The expulsion of intestinal gas, or flatus, is a natural biological process resulting from the fermentation of undigested food by bacteria in the digestive tract. This process produces gases such as methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, which can build up and create pressure.

In a theoretical or humorous context, "fartpower" could be imagined as a method of propulsion or energy production by harnessing these gases. This might involve capturing and combusting the methane, which is flammable, or utilizing the pressure of the expelled gas. Such ideas are typically found in comedic skits, cartoons, or as a whimsical thought experiment, rather than in serious scientific proposals. The energy content of flatus is extremely low, making it impractical for any meaningful power generation. The primary focus of "fartpower" remains within the realm of novelty and amusement.
