My point with the heat exchange is that if you use a glass or insulated resivoir (cool) then inject heated (via the manifold) distilled water onto metal you get an instant explosion. Do not try this as it will happen and you will be badly burned.
So assuming that you could have a pre heater then inject the pre heated water on to hot metal you would get a violent reaction for nothing that you arent already paying for. We are already creating (from what I have read) 1000 degrees of heat (at the manifold) that would be effective at powering a steam turbine / alternator (front side of the turbo). A combined unit. Not two seperate units.
A normal turbo with a distilled water front steam turbine and the exhaust side powered by the exhaust flow. You would have a double drive on scavenged energy. Instead of air induction you have steam induction on a closed circut that will allow the steam to condense in the tank before it hits the hot rear side and then be pre heated by the exhaust side for a quicker flash reaction when it re circ's to the hot side of the manifold. Because as someone already has pointed out in this thread that exhaust is inconsistent the steam cold compensate for the other and visa versa when the engine is @ cruise.
Also today I was thinking about the drive shaft. Magnets and copper on something that already spins. Another generator of electricity for HHO production. It seems that there are alot of waste energy areas in an ICE loop that could be used to power HHO production for ICE engines.
Wish I could change the title of the thread to waste energy instead of waste heat.
