Can human farts generate electricity?

Farts would be very inefficient due to their unpredictability and their danger as they are flammable.
They would not make a good energy source.

depends on what you eat and how strong your fart is.... As someone who has diarrhea, I can confirm that my fart gives me enough and more energy to defy gravity!
Yes - If you could actually recover large amounts of methane from human farts, you could burn the methane and boil water to make steam and use the steam to turn a turbine which would turn a electrical generator. - :]
why stop at humans? why are you not getting the energy from rabbit farts? do ants fart? must get these answers now and collect all of the energy
#8 - Don't forget what they told 'Mel' in Bartertown. 'Pig shit. The lights, the motors, the vehicles, all run by a high-powered gas called methane. And methane cometh from pig shit. - :]
