"We discuss a lot on how to kill zombies. What guns (or other weapon) we'd use, how we'd do it, and how awesome it would be.

One thing I've never heard is what you plan to do with that disease-ridden body once it's on the ground?
Depending on the type of infection, this could be a biological hazard to anyone being too close to it. I'm seeing some sources that say rabies can last over 24 hours after the body was deceased.

This could provide problems depending on where the zed was taken down at, and how many there were. Would you want the thing rotting in your back yard? How would you dispose of it in your area without risk of contaminating yourself?

This may just be a common sense question, as burning is, no doubt, the best method I can think of. If anything else, I believe this should be a good thought for those who plan on rushing out, guns blazing with Drowning Pool playing in the background."

"I've been thinking about this for some time. How do you burn potentially millions of undead without consuming every last ounce of combustible fuel or scrap of wood availible?

I think the solution is a solar based crematorium. The idea is to use thousands of large mirrors to redirect a hell of a lot of sun onto one spot. Something like this...

Direct a large amount of solar heat inside a blast camber on top of a small tower. Fill the blast chamber via conveyor belt...and roast em'.

As an added bonus...the heat generated could be used to create steam which would turn a few small turbines.

It's just an idea."

"You will have more than enough solar panels for that...but...like I say...the crematorium will be creating a lot of heat. That heat can be harnessed to create electrical power in a number of different ways.

Also the undead will most likely find the facility. You won't have to transport the bodies to it. As long as there are people manning the incinerator...the dead will be interested in whats going on there. I say build it...fence it off...and let them collect in numbers.

This will give you the time to set up something that will "kill" them one at a time in an automated fashion. Some kind of mechanical system like in a slaughter house. The corpses can then be conveyed to the blast chamber...and then the sun burns them to ash...which will be blown away by the wind."

"I think mass graves would end up being the answer, something along the lines of the catacombs in Paris during the plague, give them a dose of lye and cover them with dirt.

Obviously there are potential pitfalls to this plan, but I can think of far more productive things to do than spending large quantities of time developing a solar zed cooker."

""Solar Zed Cooker" made me lol for like...5 minutes.

It is a thought though. I'm sure no one would have the time to build the thing, but I did very much want to entertain the idea. Plus, once all the zeds are gone it'd be like, "Crud...what do we DO with this thing now???"

At the same time I feel like straight burning them would be quicker and less dangerous than burial."

"Even if you didn't bury them next to your settlement, it could raise a problem later, once your settlement starts to spread out. "

"Or someone elses settlement down the river"
