yea, the second I read it I went duhhh... why do we waste so much energy through heat in the exhaust? very intresting. Why not power a turbine to force air into the motor by using exhaust heat and steam?

I find it interesting that this 150 y/o (yet modernized) technology is only now being seen of some use. I always found steam engines interesting, but just a bit too far away from my 7M's specs to care... :biglaugh:

Itd be interesting to see the reliability of that system, better yet repair costs.:aigo: Unless of course its part of their huge warrenty coverage.
