From this article

Quote:Bruce Crower has lived, breathed and built hot engines his whole life. Now he’s working on a cool one—one that harnesses normally-wasted heat energy by creating steam inside the combustion chamber, and using it to boost the engine’s power output and also to control its temperature.

the article is an interesting read.

Cool. Could you imagine a car or truck without a radiator?! That's awesome.

Thats a cool idea. Would definately free up the design of the front end of all cars by not having to have a radiator.

Sure, you wouldn't have a rad... but you WOULD need to have a 2nd tank for the distilled water!

WOW that's amazing, I love stuff like that. Glad to see that people are working on things like that.

1st person who makes a system to dramatically reduce the need for gas will rule the world.
I have a few cars.

One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?

I think the article is double cool because the inventor is the one and only Crower.
