is claimed to recover more than 80% of the heat from exhaust and cooling. They claim a 10% torque increase and 15% drop in fuel consumption.

Check out the March issue of Popular Science for more.

I've always wondered when you see cars on fire along side the road. Many times the hot cataylic converters start the fire by igniting the dry grass below the vechicle. About time to put this waste heat to better use :)

Maybe a little steam chest to keep my tortillas warm and moist, while I drive!

Wonder if they use any Viessmann HX components :)

    I have some concerns with this technology...

    and they are the same ones expressed by Rich Trethewey in Boston at ISH-NA regarding the use of Hydrogen.

    "What happens to the condensate that will be dripping from the tail pipe during below freezing weather? And they thought the leaks in the tunnel systems were a problem..."

    Seasonal vehicle, or confined to below the Mason Dixon line??

    Every new technology has its catch.

    Great idea though. Thanks for the informative post HR.
