In Autocar this week.
BMW are experimenting with using the waste heat from an IC engine to
produce steam which drives a motor attached to the main engine. On the
test bed they're getting a 15% saving in fuel consumption - at the same
time as more power and torque.
Seems it's not a new idea, but BMW reckon it is practical and should be in
production within 10 years.
