Gas Factory

Patent awarded: 2006
Patent says: "In addition to the environmentally destructive effects of ruminant animal methane emissions, such emissions represent wasted energy, as up to thirteen percent of the food ruminant animals eat is lost as methane."
We say: It would take a lot of cows to produce useful levels of biomass. Not to mention, you'd need workers to monitor the contraptions. Probably not efficient.
