Free lunch?
Just kidding ^_^. It could well be close! Sunlight last I checked was pretty free.
It's odd this pops up as I reference it in another forum just minutes ago lol. The only thing is I am pretty sure these would have to be fitted directly to constant emission sources.
They are alot like the plant life that survives on sulfur on the ocean floor, they can only survive where the flow is pretty constant.
It would be great to see something developed for a vehicle, but I fear it might not be possible. You can miniatuarize technology as much as you like, but organisms are the size they are and there is not a whole lot you can do to change it. The other side making them devour it faster might lead to their death when the engine shuts off. . .
HOPEFUL!
