"Waste not, want not," that's what mom always said. Can the same be true of our cars?
One important factor in reducing our environmental impact is using products that would otherwise go to waste. Using waste products means we reduce demand for new things, and it keeps waste out of landfills, where it does nothing but take up space and poison the environment.
The Toyota Mirai, which runs on hydrogen, can use fuel from recycled products. One way of using waste to make hydrogen is by fermenting cow poop and refining the gasses released.
Another method of creating hydrogen is by using electrolysis to split apart water molecules. This water doesn't have to be pure-- in fact, it conducts electricity better if it has additives, like lemon juice, for example.
Yes, if you have leftover lemonade and an electrolysis machine, you can make your own fuel for the Toyota Mirai.
