Question why???

why dont they make steam power engines no more they could use eletric instead of coal and it would be completely enviroment safe, i mean seriously all this mobo jobo about laws to save the enviroment but lets not try anything to were the government would loose out on money that the gas companies are making, i mean seriously oil is used to make plastics and used in eletric plants and used to lube stuff, my fav is ky jelly lol j/k but anyways the government and the car companies and any one else spending billions of dollars looking for alterative fuel is dumb when you can use steam like they did back in the day, clean emission cause it is steam and no coal used cause we got eletricity now and we can heat with resister coils, but nope lets it wouldnt do good for econmey cause i mean that everything would lower in price and it would be affordable to live omg what would we do
my main question is why do people have to be so dumb and greedy???

yea why have a hyrdogen car or have a biodiesel or have ethal38 i mean those arent that great of an alternative why not just use water damn use salt water, 75% of the earth is water i mean what are we doing seriously, and no water wouldnt be affected cause the steam will condinsate and go back to water or you can have no steam come from the car and condinsate back into your tank but nope sceintist still cant figure out an alternative but people back in the 1800s and early 1900s found out already sad sad sad

I have to be honest with you hugmetoe... You seem like you're very young. Vocabulary and grammar skills are a bit lacking, as well as some common sense, LOL.

I think its HIGHLY unlikely that a steam engine could be engineered into a personal automotive. The amount of pressure required for a steam engine would warrant a HUGE engine compartment, not to mention the danger it would post to the driver in the even of a failure. You're not talking about a rod shooting through your block or a piston slapping a valve, you're talking about AN EXPLOSION, 3 feet in front of your body.

Honestly though... If it were really a viable option and a SMART decision, it would have been done by now. Sorry to say but your intelligence level and expertise on the topic is nowhere NEAR that of the top scientists who research fuel alternatives. Not to say that any of the other people on FTE are experts either... But you talk a lot without facts or numbers. Thats what it all boils down to in the end.

You took it out of context brother.

"What are you suggesting that steam engines be installed in, upon manufactuing?"

The comma denotes where one should pause in that sentence, separation between 'in' and 'upon'.

cars can explode to simple fact of the matter is who cares water is free if it blows up and kills me great i got free fuel and a free funeral, all they have to do is collect my ashes lol
technology is so advanced there is a way to harness the pressure without explosion cause and there probably is a way to down sizing the engine that is the only thing that might be the problem is the size of the engine but i think they could resolve it, and also i sure if it were to explode easy you could have saftey measure to prevent that like thicker steel in the fire wall and whatever else not going to think about it to much cause it will never be invented

Haha you really like to talk out of your a$$ don't you.

Like I said before, you can dream all day long but until you can actually come up with the design and numbers for such an idea then its nothing more than that, an IDEA. Again, if this was a viable alternative to fossil fuel and a SAFE one it would have been explored already.

If you want to play that game then we can go all day long. Why haven't they invented hover cars? It would just take a series of electromagnets rigged into the roads... Right?

Or, why don't we just get computers embedded in our brains so we never have to write anything down? It would just take a simple surgical procedure right? What kind of procedure? Oh I don't know, just get working on it!

wow yours are weird and easy to debate but the main reason they dont exploit water is because the vast amount it would be impossible to tax like pot the reason they dont make it legal like the care if your drugged up, when i was in the nave the had some transport vechicles they were working on that used waves, they use a high freq sound to distort the water causing waves and trying to harness the wave power since a wave in water can be endless with no loss of energy, my friend lee is doing the research and they switched it over to boats now cause they want to run off the ocean so they can dock less and need less fuel saving more money, i am sure if the navy ever does get it up and running we will never see it but you talk as if steam is crazy talk but if you do history than you would know that it isnt and that the didnt explode at all they actually rupted and shot mass amounts of pressure of steam through the coals burng the coaller or they steamed them either way it wasnt explosions and you forget the government to gas companies are tighter than you think and they do not allow anything they cant charge or they cant tax to be an alternative fuel but since i am so dumb though seriously wake up you think there is nothing to do with water and they did try and they came up with hydrogen and thats was all further they were allowed to go and the reason this is an idea is cause i do not have the money nor the time to build such a thing nor do i have anyone to test my defaults so pretty much i cant do it but someone can and talking out my *** is great jim carry does it and so will i
