The jet is not the most efficient steam engine, since kinetic energy is lost when the wheel spins and when the jet is deflected off. I wonder if a simple oscillating piston and cylinder would work, the piston has a rare earth magnet and the cylinder has a coil wrapped around it, of course a turbine would be cool. I wonder if one could use the AC compressor as the heat engine and freon as the working fluid.
