The same source which produces methane also produces significant amounts
of hydrogen.

Yes, I believe! (don't want to build a sect)

I hope you, if not, it could be dangerous. Ey, but we could solve all energy
problems, we have. ^^

All you'd need to do is run a can-length straw down the inside from the

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

Nitrogen, Oxygen, Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide,
Possibly: Propane, Butane, Methane (If you have a lighter, butane,
natural gas: methane, gas grill: propane)
In small amounts: Neon (little orange lamps seen on some electrical
equipment), maybe Argon (some light bulbs)...

^^ yeah.
But people are every time very disgusted, if things are tasting like chicken
(and there is no chicken inside the food).
don't know why
Chicken is good, isn't it?

Oxygen
Nitrogen
Argon
Carbon dioxide (burn something)
Water vapor (normally present when humidity is above zero)
Methane (when people pass gas)
Hydrogen sulfide (ditto)
Hope this helps,
John
