Crazy Engine Idea

[Low-Q]

I don't know if it's already mentioned, but it should be possible to use the heat from the manifold to heat water. This makes compressed steam which activates a turbine with a generator on it. The generator can also be a device directly connected to the drive gear, just to utilize the heat to add forward motion.
As we know that a regular gasoline engine have approx 20% efficiency - 80% is heat. This heat should absolutely do some work if you fill up a second tank with water, and let the manifold heat it up.

very nice, this just keeps getting crazier and crazier hehehe

add a geothermal system to it

Or make a steam engine out of it is even better With no cooling of the engine other than making a steam engine to run, should by itself cool down the engine. The greater load to the engine, the greater work the steam engine will do. In sum we have a less load dependent engine as it in fact gets stronger and more efficient as the load is greater. I believe this will save lots of gasoline. I did read a suggestion today that gasoline based cars might be illegal by 2015...maybe it's worth trying?

wouldn't the excess weight be a problem? hope not too much of a  problem. unless you're using light weight materials for your heat engine.
