奶牛被裝“屁屁收集器” 萌創意爆笑走紅

Scientists in Argentina may have just the answer to combat global warming.
阿根廷科學家或許找出瞭解決全球變暖問題的方法。

With cows being responsible for up to 25 percent of the methane gas released in the US each year, a group of scientists at Argentina's National Institute of Agricultural Technology is now attaching backpacks to cows to collect the animals's.
全球每年產生的溫室氣體中，牛貢獻了25%。阿根廷國家農業技術研究所的一組科學家現在正在嘗試往牛身上安裝揹包，以收集……屁屁。

Here's the way it works: Tubes connected to the cows' digestive tracks are collected and then stored in the backpack.
來看看具體是怎麼操作的吧：與牛消化道連接的管子匯聚在揹包中，收集的氣體也存儲在裏面。

Scientists say that the farts collected each day could produce enough energy to run a car or refrigerator for an entire 24 hours.
科學家說每天收集的奶牛的屁屁，就可以生產供小汽車或冰箱運轉24小時的能量。

While the likelihood of this becoming a mainstream form of energy production is quite slim, the Argentine scientists say these silent but deadly bovine deeds could be used to power remote farms.
然而，屁屁收集器成爲能源生產的主流方式、這種可能性卻很小。科學家說，這些無聲但又充滿“牛味”的做法，可以被用來給偏遠農莊供電。
