exhaust/engine cooler heat recuperator

[Creativity]

I totally argee unfortunately who around us have say 6000+ Euro to do that... otherwise i would like to go all the way to electric  for a lot of people it is still a dream,so i will try to concentrate on easy improvement ,awaiting electric cars.In the time we chat we still use this old ICE :|
(to be strict electric will just shift oil use to the powerplant so its not 100% gain)

i fully agree with you about the price!, and also have to add if i cold afford an elec car(id like the mini to start with), i would also go off the grid( as im researching and planing to any way), there are an array of ideas and ways to do it as well, but yes it comes back down to cost, grrrr

btw , i like your ideas, im looking for a way to spin a gen/alt and every idea helps.

i will stay tuned in the mean time i will try to save some cash for u ,me and others by posting my progress on improvement if we will have small savings we r one step closer to full electric  .
I just bought a small pneumatic grinder for 20E i also have the copper tubing for a preheater .I will take grinder apart to see how it works and what would make problems with steam.I want to make closed water cycle so i will remove silencer from it for extra power.I made some fast calculations already.it would need like 2,5 cc of water per second to turn into steam (around 6kW energy absorbed).I am planning to put in on higher pressure like 8-9 bar for extra torgue.max speed rating is 10 000 rpm and its cool as alternator runs a bit faster than engine .First run will be on an open system,then i will mount the airco cooler to condensate collected steam after the turbine.

What about using a turbo on the exhaust to turn an alternator for the energy supply to an HHO generator. This should supply enough energy for the HHO without the demand on the existing electrical system.
