More to combustion technology:
http://www.tct.is. In Icelandic, but has pictures and perhaps an english version.
This is what their carburettor looks like:

yep.. water injection cools the mixture during one of the normal 4 strokes of an internal combustion engine where as this thing adds two strokes to the process that make use of waste heat.

Thanks, guys...got the basic idea about the extra power stroke concept...just need to see it laid out in more detail.  I can't visualize the exact nature of the extra cycles, though I understand the result.

Thanks also for the link.  However...it's restricted access, at least to me.  Not to worry, though...I can't speak or read a word of Icelandic (although the label on the pic was clear enough!) :D

Anybody able to point me to a drawing/graphic of the process, cycle by cycle?

Thanks again...

I know a guy who works on the development. I'll ask if he has something in english ;)

edit: BTW, TCT stands for Total Combustion Technology.
The concept works and is now en route into mass production.
I think Honda is the lucky dealer there.

My wife bought a humidifier just yesterday.
First cars cause golbal warming & now they're going to add the humidity.
I've been missing the east coast summer weather since I moved west....

Typ 4 stroke...

1 Piston down...Intake
2 Piston up...Compression
2.1 Fuel injection
3 Piston down...Burn / Power
4 Piston up...Exhaust

What I get as a 6 stroke...

1 Piston down...Intake
2 Piston up...Compression
2.1 Fuel injection
3 Piston down...Burn / Power
4 Piston up...Exhaust
4.1 Water injection
5 Piston down...Steam expansion / power
6 Piston up...Steam exhaust

and you have to stop every 100 miles to refill your water tank. just like the steam engines did.

Read the article, and you find that he expects it'll need about as much water as it does gas.  The only issue he sees right away is that he thinks purified water may be required to avoid mineral deposits.  The water may blow out carbon buildup but could deposit harder minerals if the water isn't purified.

Gonna take a big research lab to make this concept fly, but hopefully he'll prove it to the point where a major automaker is willing to put the bucks behind the idea to make an actual product.

Imagine how it would look driving such a car at the cold winter day when temperature is below zero Celsius... real smoke screen behind the car.

why would any human live where the temperature may get below freezing?   Ice bears don't drive.
