Chicken fat

I have added a few refs for the engine etc

Also I unfortunately discovered in the documentation (ATI project overview) a reference to "chicken fat" as one of the sources of fuel.

I know this is probably not part of the "intake" or "food" and would probably have to be some melted down version similar to palm oil, however there is no info on how that would be used and so I cannot distinguish from "provided by man" or "picked up by the robot"

There are also several reports in major news sources that Finkelstein said "mostly vegetarian"

I have not followed that up as yet.

I have tried to distinguish between the engine maufacturers (who state the engine was not intended to run on anything other than veggie) and RTI (who stated the "chicken fat")
