Indeed. If it works, that's what my device will do. BTW it may also be possible to put it in a car directly, obviating the need for a secondary energy carrier. One consideration is how difficult it would be to restart it once stopped and left standing for a while. If that is determined experimentally to be far to long, then use in a car would be excluded - unless it could run at a very low level all the time.
