pretty sweet boat, I think they maybe missed septic tank methane as an incorporated potential fuel source for cooking, heating, or even generating electricity. it's been a couple decades now, but I had a travel trailer with a propane powered refridgerator that ran on about the equivalent of a large pilot-light flame. idk that the concept is "crazy" at all really. our bodies use about 15% of the calories we eat (is heat, is energy). WE.. burn at an approximate 100-125 watts.. so.. 15-30-45-60-75-90.. with that first 15 used by our bodies.. theres still that 5x potential available, not counting the last 10% of the 100. potentially 500w per person, per hour, average? 3 persons maybe approximately 2hp, continuous? heck.. if it produces half that, its still a fairly substantial contribution. some of the folks here in electric boats play with some pretty hefty budgets.. just spillin up some food (or crap?) for thought here with the idea. http://go-fast.com/boat_speed_predictions.htm calculator. 1780 lbs, 1hp (750w), hull 275.. says 7mph, kinda interesting and relative to somehow scavenging half of available septic-system methane, if its doable.
