Let's face it. Your colon is full of bacteria, that are producing gas. It's going to come out sooner or later. There's a lot of energy stored in it, which is why you can ignite an "eruption" of this gas if you have the mind. (The "mind" is usually created by the consumption of alcohol, but we digress.)
This energy need not go to waste. It could be removed, via a small implant of some sort or perhaps (for more stoic folks) through a rectal probe. This energy can then run a fuel cell or small internal combustion engine, providing energy that can be used for a multitude of tasks.
As an added bonus, you probably won't have much gas left with which to "impress" your fellow man.

There are 122 fart related ideas on halfbakery. That is what, nearly 1% of all ideas here? |

We're goin' after that valuable 10-year-old demographic. |

Then what we need are more ideas for fart based RPGs. Bring it on. |

How do you propose to allow for the vastly different compositions of flatus that is expelled? <link> CO2, O2, Hydrogen and other gases form the common "fart". |

//It could be removed, via a small implant// Could be a micro turbine so you also recover mechanical energy from the pressure. Still have to figure out how to keep it from clogging with more solid debris. |

"So much wrongness", said the man.
"So little time", responded the troll. |
