They Once Used A Ton Of Manure To Power The Factories
Henry Ford was always ahead of his time, especially when we are talking about eco-friendliness. Ford Motor Company factories in the United Kingdom and the United States initially used animal and human waste to fuel their facilities. We know that it does not sound appealing, but it was still a useful practice. They reported burned 2,000 pounds of manure every week. Of course, the smell was rather gross. Despite this, it was an innovative green practice in a time when no one else worried about our effects on nature. They chose to discontinue doing this in 1939 when cheaper alternatives became available.

The Company Wanted To Build An Atomic-Powered Car
Ford thought of the concept behind the Nucleon in 1957. The atomic-powered vehicle was meant to become their version of the car of the future. The designers wanted it to be a package deal in which consumers had the freedom to choose the horsepower. They wanted the rear to come with the atomic car, which would be recharged periodically and eliminate the need to go to service stations. The Nucleon was about to be powered by uranium fission and steam engine, not unlike those found in nuclear submarines. Ford created a scale model, and you can even see it when you visit the Henry Ford Museum located in Dearborn, Michigan.
