Flatulence, Physics, and the Future of Fart-based Energy

In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy takes on a question that no one needed answered but everyone has secretly wondered—could fart propulsion actually work? With equal parts curiosity and skepticism, we explore the physics of gas dynamics, the limits of human propulsion, and why science sometimes asks the weirdest questions. Along the way, we consult real experts, examine unexpected real-world applications, and uncover some truly bizarre discoveries about methane and movement.

But theory is nothing without application, so Jimmy puts on his investor hat in a Shark Tank-style segment, where some of the most ambitious (and horrifying) fart-powered inventions get pitched. And as the episode unfolds, one question looms: Is this a joke, or is there something worth taking seriously here? Strap in, hold your breath, and get ready for one of the most scientifically unnecessary but strangely informative episodes yet.
