I like the idea overall, but think we have several things to consider..I'm talking about alternative fuels.
In this day and age, we have to be considerate of the environment. Just imagine the pollutants from 8 hyped-up radiating gerbils consuming pounds and pounds of nacho cheese. THe smell alone would kill a normal man. Let's look at less harmful fuels, like simple carbohydrates (sugars), known to cause less gaseous fumes. Or we could dabble in additives. Much as we add MTbe to our fuels, maybe we could add bean-o, febreeze, or a modified air-freshener to the nacho cheese.
Not to mention disposal. Lord knows, gerbils all seem to live about nine days. Where are you going to put gerbils that have a half-life of 25,000 years? We're talking subcontracting with radioactive/biohazardous waste disposal people here, and that can get costly. Can your average ricer afford to properly dispose of a radioactive rodent? Lord knows the most they can ever afford is yellow stickers and underbody neon, so waste disposal is way out of their league. We could be harming the environment here.
On the topic of cross-pollenation (genetic farming), I say we stick with the classic gerbil. They're cheap, readily available, and easy to dispose of (in non-radioactive form). Creating a Geetah, or HummingGerbil (hummingbird cross) leads to expensive testing.
Although I guess if we could get sponsorship.....but I'm guessing the ASPCA wont be offering any $$$. Maybe hummingbird or cheetah fanatics...or RIchard Gere (think it out, think it out.....good).
But we're definitely going in the right direction here. And an all-electric isnt far away. I envison a car where the motor space has become a maze of feeding and movement tubes. During startup, all the gerbils (who would be free to roam around the compartment when not in use) would be given injections of pure THC to induce "the munchies." Another excuse to "Legalize it." Then a window would open, and all the gerbils would start running for the food. We could take crack confiscated from the streets and put it to good use, filling the compartment with smoke from the substance, thereby making the gerbils hungry and EXTREMELY determined. Not only could we utilize the indirect energy from the turning of the wheels, but the massive heat of 120 cracked-up gerbils could replace the heating coil entirely, heating the car, steering wheel, mirrors, whatever.
Just my .02
