Crazy idea: Nitrogenous bacteria and engine cooling

Featured Replies

Do you think it would be possible to hybridize bacteria with an engine so that it constantly can use NO2 for the engine and cool down the engine, thus allowing a faster, more efficient automobile?

How is that supposed to work? And what do you mean with nitrogenous? Nitrogen fixing (N2 to NH3)? Or Nitrate reducing (NO3- to NO2-). And how to do you propose to use it for an engine?

My idea is testing if there would be a way to get bacteria to gather air and form N2O. Let's say they gather air and then make some N20, then they expel that and route it to the engine. Or perhaps there would be a way to get them to transfer that stuff to a tank/cannister under the vehicle; that way it continually builds up a supply until the person needs it.
