OK, I read this post (thanks) and the next three. I apologize in advance, as I am still new here, and have not had time for any real DD, just hoping the usual suspects here can convince me, or not, to invest time in doing more DD.

So far from what I see, this is a steam engine.

Yes a steam engine is fueled by a boiler, and a boiler can burn anything, but non of that is new?

I want to know if there is really anything new here, anything better than what is already on the market, or nearly on the market, or that was abandoned 200 years ago when diesels replaced steam engines on Trains? I have read the first patent. While it looks interesting, it also looks complicated, lots of moving parts. Not sure about using water for lubrication?? Are they using any kind of additive with the water for lubrication and corrosion protection?

So far it does not look as good as other new engines I see coming on the market.
