The program begins by asking whether that is necessary. https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-1-why-we-did-it.mp4 61 2026-10-31T09:00:00-07:00 https://fartbytes.com/research/part-2-compressionless-compression/ https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-2-compressionless-compression.jpg FB1 Research Series, Part 2: Compressionless Compression Instead of squeezing the recording, FB1 keeps no recording at all. It writes down the recipe. https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-2-compressionless-compression.mp4 65 2026-10-31T09:00:00-07:00 https://fartbytes.com/research/part-3-the-method/ https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-3-the-method.jpg FB1 Research Series, Part 3: The Method Seven recordings, about 320 flaps, nine dials, a draining tank of gas and five modeled rooms. https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-3-the-method.mp4 76 2026-10-31T09:00:00-07:00 https://fartbytes.com/research/part-4-what-it-means/ https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-4-what-it-means.jpg FB1 Research Series, Part 4: What It Means for Humanity For most of history a fart lasted about a second. In 12 bytes it can be kept, sent, named and catalogued. https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-4-what-it-means.mp4 61 2026-10-31T09:00:00-07:00 https://fartbytes.com/research/part-5-the-silent-ones/ https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-5-the-silent-ones.jpg FB1 Research Series, Part 5: The Silent Ones The most important open problem in the field, and our closest attempt at it. https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-5-the-silent-ones.mp4 55 2026-10-31T09:00:00-07:00 https://fartbytes.com/research/part-6-the-sputter/ https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-6-the-sputter.jpg FB1 Research Series, Part 6: The Sputter Why the end of a fart is the hardest part to model, shown with the pressure trace. https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-6-the-sputter.mp4 74 2026-10-31T09:00:00-07:00 https://fartbytes.com/research/part-7-peer-review/ https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-7-peer-review.jpg FB1 Research Series, Part 7: Peer Review The program answers its critics. Is this science? Who asked? Has it been peer reviewed? https://fartbytes.com/research/video/fb1-part-7-peer-review.mp4 50 2026-10-31T09:00:00-07:00
