What modifications would be necessary to convert the human body into a petrol-fuelled killing machine?

>>16693522 (OP)
body ain't built purely on calories

>>16693524
not what I asked asshole

>>16693522 (OP)
What's the point of making a thread over and over again if you get blown out every time? Literally why are you spamming this

>>16693659
Because idiots like you spam non-answers and various bitchings, instead of answering the question

>>16693867
You had the question answered already.

>>16693869
Then tell me the answer fuckface retard

BUMP

>>16693886
people can run on butter

>>16693522 (OP)
Sure, if you want a bunch of flamable ass niggers running around. Where will the fuel go? Our current organs would break down extremely quickly with gasoline coursing throughout, and even if they store the fuel in a 'tank' of some sort, that would still leave the problem of combusting the gasoline to create energy.

Perhaps replacing the digestive system with a self contained gasoline fuel-cell could create energy, but what then? I suppose you could THEN use the energy to provide photosynthesis to some sort of algae? Perhaps excess algae could then be used as 'biofuel'?

This is a retarded question OP.

Well, more like walk, slowly, red-faced and short of breath.

You want robot big enough, to have petrol engine for energy. I don't yet know why robots should be powered by batteries.

Sounds promising, but we need a bigger one to load illegals onto and plausibly be Mexican free by 2029

>>16696399
I mean like 3 meter tall mech, with 1000kW engine atleast with lots of ammo and catling granade launcher.

Fats and oils have like 9000 Cal/L. What's your point?

Your assumption that the energy availability of petrol is 100% under any physically possible scenario is flawed.

HOWEVER
Let's see what mad science can do:

First assumption: We're burning this stuff inside a heavily modified human body. Are we adding cybernetics? If not, then the body itself is going to burn as well when the fuel is combusted. Famously, people doused in gasoline and set on fire die in the vast majority of cases. Even if we place it inside a vessel inside the body which can take the heat, contact with any part of the body comprised of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen is going to break down and ignite past certain threshold temperatures. Therefore, the system needs to be isolated inside the body and given a vacuum around it, with a heat sink, It also needs to be constantly cooled, fueled, and provided with oxygen to keep the reaction going. So we add some kind of water or superconducting condensate fluid to cool down the components faster than a literal gas fire heats it up. Cars which run on petrol are constantly in danger of overheating, and they're made of metal, which is pretty conductive stuff. Airflow can help with this as well. Maybe these soldiers need to be mostly submerged so they can have contact with water over a larger surface to dissipate the heat. Now, how are we converting the energy into something the body can use? We get electricity from running steam engines in the majority of cases, which push a turbine, and then send that DC through to a storage medium or the grid. Humans run on a small amount of electricity, the rest is chemical and transported through the blood via ATP.

SO: We can't burn the stuff to get energy out and convert it into ATP. We'd need to use it as mechanical energy at that point, and that's incompatible with biological systems, so unless you want robots, throw all the shit I've already said out the window.

1/2

There are many microbes that can metabolize gasoline and petroleum. These microbes, particularly bacteria, have the ability to break down hydrocarbons, which are the main components of gasoline and petroleum, as a source of energy.
Examples of oil-eating microbes:
Alcanivorax spp.: These bacteria are known for their ability to metabolize hydrocarbons like alkanes.
Pseudomonas spp.: Many Pseudomonas species are capable of degrading various petroleum hydrocarbons.
Rhodococcus spp.: These bacteria are also known for their hydrocarbon degradation capabilities.
Marinobacter spp.: Some marine bacteria in this genus can thrive on compounds from petroleum.
Oceanospiralles: This group of bacteria can also metabolize compounds from petroleum.
How they do it:
These microbes use various metabolic pathways to break down hydrocarbons. For example, some use alkane hydroxylase enzymes to convert alkanes into alcohols, and then further break down those alcohols. Others use enzymes to degrade aromatic or resin fractions of hydrocarbons.

Now, if we can use the byproducts of these microbes, or feed the soldier on the microbes themselves, then we can take advantage of the energy in petroleum, albeit at a much lower rate than your proposed combustion model.

USA works like this.

We know

Look after years of the same shit and watching those who said am to bas for this flee and come back frustrated

We realized that in the process of denying ai they denied all science

By that logic, we should be driving in palm-oil powered cars, and Crisco powered airplanes

Might as well just put a petrol generator in the belly of a robot at that point.

It's called a tank. We've had them for like a hundred years.
