I didnt read any except page one, but i toyed with this idea for a long time

My idea was to run a water pipe in the exhaust manifold and use it to heat up lots of water, say 20 gallons, to pressurise it. then you would need a steam engine to either run the drivetrain or charge a battery bank on a hybrid.

I would like to take a small 3 ylinder engine and get a custom camshaft job done. that would allow the engine to run as a steam engine
