It's an interesting idea. I will be keen to see how it develops. The

Be easy enough to rig up some kind of bifurcated fueling nozzle with two
adjacent orifices on the car. If it can really run that cool, imagine
the advances in aero design with no need for a massive airflow over the
motor or radiator.

It is a brilliant idea, so simple in the concept. Keeping the water
liquid in a Minnesota winter might be tricky, but a small heater in a
short run tank, and the exhaust pipe through the main tank, and building
in a way to freeze/thaw without damage (elastic tank & hoses?) might get
there.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
