Have you ever thought that whenever you start your car, you are actually hurting our Mother Nature? Petrol is meant to be buried deep inside earth. Since the very first day we started to dig petrol out from earth, we generated a vast amount of excess energy in heat form and also Trillions tons of CO2 to our atmosphere. In the end, global warming becomes more severe than ever. Earth temperature increases, Ozone layer becomes thinner, less ice in North Pole and South Pole…..
We GOT to do something!
Have you ever thought what kinds of things that can possibly replace petrol? My friend YeeChong once told me something that actually struck me when the other friend asked YeeChong to fetch him somewhere else. YeeChong rejected the request harshly by saying this……………..
Friend: YeeChong can you please fetch me to see my girlfriend at KTC College?
YeeChong: YOU SIAO AH!! NO WAY
Friend: Why?
YeeChong: You think Petrol is cheap?!?! You think I can just PEE into my car? And my car will move by feeding it with my URINE?
This is like Jim Carrey pee into a car in Me, Myself & Irene
That conversation struck me that day. It had an impact to me. As a baby engineer back then, I was so ambitious. I would like to participate in such breakthrough creations. I wish I can create an engine that is eligible to be powered by abundant resources like PEE PEE! When I hit my last year of my University, writing a thesis about the URINAL engine and do research about it was some of the proposals I wished to propose to my lecturer. Well, It didn’t happen.. But the idea was crystallized in me.
I’m proud to say that I’m a Renewable Project Engineer now. My responsibility is to research additional green energy to save mama Earth. Me, Lowkei and Alex Kuek used to have the opportunity to execute research on a type of crop called Jatropha.
Jatropha curcus is a poisonous plant belonging to the spurge family. It is not eatable due to its high toxicity. But the good thing about Jatropha Curcus is that we can actually purge the seeds and get biodiesels. Amazing? Well, if you want to know more about Jatropha please ask Alex Kuek.
Alex Kuek was on the news the other day promoting Jatropha crop. It was published in The Star newspaper. He was explaining Jatropha crops to Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
the green jathropa looks like grapes…u sure it’s called jathropa?
;p
fuyoh~you sure you done the research on the pee engine before? hehehe…
zeapleonia, in fact those are tastier than grapes..if you have eaten it, im sure your face and stomach will turn into grapes color
:)
I said I wish to propose to my lecturer and it didn’t happen. so i didn’t execute it in the end. if i have the opportunity to do it I think i’ll be quite successful
and to think you got the idea from Mr. Yee Chong was pretty amusing!
[quoted] “if i have the opportunity to do it I think i’ll be quite successful”
