I have seen this announcement:

Bosch is a very serious company, so it may become real.

The government will figure out how to tax water used in engines.
Otherwise there will be a huge loss in tax revenue to the government:-)
Right now the gasoline tax in Europe is right around $5 a gallon.
Then there is the question of an increase in humidity with all that steam
coming out of exhaust pipes :-)
The water will have to be filtered as other wise it will leave deposits
in the engine and in the water tanks. Filtered drinking water cost $1.28 a
gallon in the US grocery stores. About one dollar a gallon cheaper than
gasoline in the US including the gasoline tax. The cost of filtered water
is about the same as untaxed gasoline. Gas taxes run roughly about
a dollar a gallon in the US.
In California we have a water shortage so the price of food will go up
as the farmers use 80% of the total water supply :-)

Paul, Thanks for the link to the Bosh article. Their approach is
following something similar to my experiment on the Wankel engine. I
plan to alternate the injection of fuel and water on alternate faces of
the rotor. The engine alternates between a Carnot and Rankine cycle.
The fuel consumption should start with a 50% reduction in fuel consumed
and a small reduction in power on the Rankine cycle face. ie a large
improvement in specific fuel consumption. Status of the project is:
Sach engine in place , Maximite in place. re-learning basic from 40
years ago. I am quite impressed with the Maximite.

I just bought a full size bed size air mattress from Walmart for $40.
It came with a great little
electric air pump that runs off 4.5 volts at 2 amps. The brand is
Intext made in China of course.
A sleep number bed is an air mattress with an air pump and it sells for
over $1000.
All I need is a $10 pressure sensor and a Maximite and I have a new
Sleep Number bed :-)
