Steam power engine for cars, Motorcycle and planes

Thanks for the redundant, dickish, post. I was thinking that perhaps by making that inquiry he would share what he perceives to be of a steam engine?

Or we could just advance solar power energy technology, where the source is virtually unlimited, so that it could give a lot of energy even if the sun is being partially blocked.

Steam power, I don't think that word means what you think it means.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_engine


Steam power is still used a lot today, it powers most of the world. The downside of it is, it takes the burning of material, such as coal, to create sufficient heat to produce the needed output. That is, until recently. Today, nuclear, geothermal, and solar power are also used, along with fossil fuels, to turn the worlds steam turbines.


When you hear a power plant burns coal to produce power, it really means that the plant burns coal to produce the steam required to create power.

So not only do you want a tank of water to lug around, you want to burn wood to turn that water into steam to power your engine? So if you run out of fuel you just find a nearby tree and cut it down to power your car again? :hmm:

Hey you know, we have this really neat thing, it's called a combustion engine.

or... you know, solar-powered / hybrid / electric cars...

Solar engines would make the best bet. Though we would have a lot of downsides to that to, and still be forced to use fossil fuels.

it not fossil. it a dead plankton that fall under the ocean
