 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 :-)
