The second rat gets the cheese.

There is a free lunch, but not for everybody, and getting it ain't
easy. You got to sleep in, climb over the unhappy competition, and
study your method well if you want to continue successfully.

An internal steam engine could work.

Even if it was easy and efficient, you might have to fight the the
first rat as he weakens and dies to keep a grip on the rat trap and
it's bait.

The fuel supply problem will be beaten the day that a significant
number of people decide to drive mopeds or trikes to save gas. This
they will not do so long as they are likely to get rained on. Why not
an airbag outside the driver to keep the rain off and streamline the
vehicle?

A double expansion 5 HP internal combustion steam engine could charge
the batteries while you pedal or park, for that matter.

Why not recharge at home for an electric 50 Km range town trike you can
pedal home to plug in and charge for tomorrow, all for less than health
club membership and cabfare to and from the excercise machines and
drive through fast food joints? Ask the fatties why there is an energy
shortage. Ask the restraunteurs why they cannot satisfy them selves
with half price, half sized kids' servings on demand, even for adults?
