Back when electric cars were uncool, BMW tried adding a little bit of steam to their cars:

Okay. But did it have one of those steam whistles, like on the old railroad? I feel like it would have done better on the market with a nice choo choo.

YOU JUST GAVE ME THE BEST WORST IDEA
what if we built a teensy helios 1 on top of a car to boil water while driving

You can try supercritical CO2 now if you don’t like water.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
But supercritical CO2 is just CO2 you tricked into acting kinda like water sometimes

I know it’s a comic but I’m so tired of this. The high heat capacity and abundance of water make it excellent for energy transfer. But it’s not the source of energy. The source is what distinguishes different types of generators, not the engineering logistics of transfer.
