Muscle cars might need fuel-injection worthy of a diesel truck, but there are ways to get your motor running other than midgets shoveling coal into a chute gas combustion. The Stirling engines, made by the mob-esque designer named Jos the Finch (he’s a cock-a-roach), runs off of the heat power from squat tea candles.

Several of his designs can run for several hours depending on the candle size (for some reason I almost typed camel size) and the actual engine design. And of course there’s the perk of being decked in steampunk-like coating.
