Nope, the technology hasn’t yet enabled us to convert words into energy, thus running a car on bullsh*t. Interestingly though, you can run a car on actual bullsh*t. As explained in the video you are about to see, cow manure can be used to make hydrogen, which is then used to power cars like Toyota Mirai which is equipped with hydrogen fuel cell.
And it’s not just bullsh*t. Hydrogen can be extracted from a number of things found in nature. It is, after all, the most abundant element in the known universe.
