well it sounds quite similar to the water-carburator that can use either water vapour directly injected into the cylinders, or has the exhaust gases bubble through water and the resulting vapour mix pumped into the cylinders... Drastic fuel efficiency increase...
You may want to look at Jean Naudins pages on that stuff:
http://bingofuel.online.fr/bingofuel/index.htm (look at the "PMC" stuff, not so much the "bingofuel" stuff)

Another interesting read may be http://members.tripod.com/~anon99/water_engine/index2.html,
although that is not directly related to what you seem to be talking about...

Brilliant,
a hybrid gas/steam engine. Lol.
And why not? If you could use the waste heat to boil water.

Here's a little anecdote:

A few years back, I was driving from Chicago to Minneapolis in a car with a failing head gasket.  Coolant was being consumed at a high rate-- basically it was leaking into the cylinders and going out the tailpipe.  I must have gone through about 15 gal. of distilled water on that trip.  Here's the thing-- I got over 45 miles per gallon of gas for the trip--  in a car that was lucky to get 20 mpg before!  Somehow, the water leaking into the engine dramatically improved its efficiency-- in fact, it was more than doubled.  I always wondered about exactly how this worked.

I don't think it is so much a steam engine, I think it has more to do with the fact that hydrocarbons burn,
and waste hydrocarbons from the fuel may still be present in the cylinders, they can evaporate along with some of the water,
and that vapour can be burnt in the cylinders again...
That's why I pointed toward that water-vapour&exhaust-gas carburator...

Due to my parents not letting me go over and look at the engine because of inclement weather, I'll have to delay getting the engine by another damn week.  Shit.  I really wanna get this thing going NOW, but it never goes to plan anyway.  Should have expected that.  Next week though, actually it may even be delayed AGAIN because my bank account is running dry (gas).  I'll probably end up having to wait another TWO weeks for my next paycheck, maybe in the meantime I'll get a camera so I can take pictures.  Anyone got a crappy video camera they're willing to lend me? =D

Sorry guys, next two weeks should be better.
