I suspect it won't present a corrosion problem. You've got to remember
that water is a product of combustion in any internal combustion engine,
so there's a lot of steam in the cylinders anyway.


Good point.

It's an interesting idea. I will be keen to see how it develops. The
downside will be that you have to fill your car with water as well as
petrol, unless he includes a condenser to recover the water from the
exhaust gases.


I did read somewhere that he planned to incorporate a condenser
later. It wouldn't have to be particularly efficient, either, given
the water contained in the combustion exhaust.
