The Machine that Creates Fuel from Used Diapers

This is both nasty and interesting at the same time, and for some odd reason, I don't have a problem with it - I say bring it on you crazy Japanese guys. Japanese automation firm, Super Faith, has done the unthinkable by creating a recycling machine that turns stinky, dirty diapers into fuel; what the hell are they going to do next? Do the same with human faeces? I can't wait.

This fuel made from adult diapers will be used in biomass boilers and stoves, so in the coming years Japanese motorists might be driving around with adult diaper fuel in their tanks. It would have been a lot more interesting if the fuel smelled like the very thing it was made of, but unfortunately that will never be the case - sad times.

This is a good way for the Japanese to both get rid of the stink and all that bacteria, a.k.a Chemical X - you know, the thing that gave 'The Powerpuff Girls' their power (am I the only one who watches this)? Anyway, the machine automatically shreds, dries and sterilizes used disposable diapers and turns them into fuel; it's so easy, even a caveman could do it.

Super Faith installed two machines at a hospital in Western Tokyo Machida and these two 'bad boys' suck up around 1,400 pounds of used diapers each day (oohh... nasty, nasty), before spitting them out a day later as fuel. After that ordeal, the material is then separately processed into fuel pallets and voila, bacteria free adult diaper fuel ready for delivery to a Japanese restaurant near you.

So just a question here, anyone here wear adult diapers? Well, it's not like you'd admit it but it's worth a try so.....
