First we tried stacking farts to create new farts. Now we’ve tried sequencing them to achieve a similar effect. The result? Mission accomplished.

Here at the ICEF we’re always interested in asking new questions, experimenting with new techniques & technologies, and exploring new avenues of inquiry as we expand our ever-evolving understanding of farts. For example, we have extracted an enormous amount of value out of the Atmotube Plus from Atmotech Inc. In addition to measuring VOCs, the…

In previous posts, we have observed that farts have the qualities of both speech and music. Although we believe it is theoretically possible to communicate with farts, the physiological challenges are daunting, and we have made little progress in this area. Thus it was with some surprise that one of the members of our college…

One of our core values at the ICEF is that no fart should go unmeasured. Our preference is to employ one of our custom-built devices to capture and store a complete record of the event, including audio and air quality data. For obvious reasons this is not always practical and we often resort to an…

Fart Maker is, by far, the most interesting tool we have created during our first year of experimentation. It is without shame that I can declare that members of the College spend, on average, approximately 10 hours per week creating original never-before-heard farts. Our primary interest (other than endlessly entertaining ourselves) is to try and…

In the past we have discussed techniques for concealing farts in public. It now feels appropriate to reveal that some members of the college have been running an informal set of experiments with the exact opposite goal: to maximize attention paid to farts, by strangers, in public.

As Canada commemorates its 154th birthday and folks from sea-to-sea gather in celebration, we turn to the lighter side and consider, briefly, some techniques for concealing farts in public.

Most of the world is connected through email, texting, and social media platforms. 97% of Americans own a cellphone of some kind. By some estimates, 5 billion people globally send and receive SMS messages. That’s about 65% of the world’s population and represents an enormous amount of digital communication, especially and increasingly amongst the young….

Long-time readers of this site are well aware of our Fart Browser – an interactive tool for exploring our complete database of farts and associated data. A recent addition of fresh content (including an appreciable contribution from our recently interviewed intern Cletus) has prompted us to put together a brief overview of the Fart Browser…

Last week we successfully stored a fart in a jar. All indications were that the fart would have remained in that jar for a long time. While it might have been interesting to let it lie for an extended period (and this may be the subject of a future experiment) it was entirely too tempting…
