How To Of The Day: How To Weigh A Fart

PBS Space Time host Gabe Perez-Giz explains how he calculated the weight of a fart for his episode about the plausibility of farting one’s way to the Moon. To squeak out his best estimate, Perez-Giz looked at a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine that measured the gas makeup of 10 people’s farts and the ideal gas law to find a workable average fart composition.

EVER WANTED TO WEIGH A FART? Well, it isn’t easy, but Gabe from PBS Space Time walks us through the math, physics, and science behind farts and explains how to measure them!
