Benefits of technology

[0017]The steam generating system is a sealed closed loop and requires no or minimal make-up water. Further, a small refrigeration system (e.g., cooling turbine) is associated with the condenser to facilitate complete and rapid condensing of the steam back to water and condition it for maximum expansion in the boiler when it is again converted to steam.
[0018]According to an exemplar

Problems solved by technology

Up until introduction of the electric starter, internal combustion engines relied on a hand crank to start the engine, which was difficult and occasionally dangerous to use, as improper cranking could cause a backfire capable of breaking the arm of the operator.
Electric cars were popular to some extent, but had a short range, and could not be charged on the road if the batteries ran low.
It can use virtually any type of fuel and is exceptionally quiet in operation.
However, early steam c

Abstract

A vehicle propulsion system has a sealed, closed loop steam generating system connected to supply steam to drive a small turbine that drives an alternator or generator to produce electrical energy that is supplied to electric traction motors at the wheels of the vehicle to propel the vehicle. According to some of the embodiments, a cooling coil is associated with the steam generating system to facilitate complete and rapid condensing of the steam back to water. At least one battery is connected in the system to supply electrical energy during start up and as otherwise needed. A controller such as a CPU or PC Main Board is connected with the propulsion system to regulate and control distribution of electrical energy to components of the system.
