Default That'd be great if you could get a source of, say, uranium or something.

Little controlled nuclear cell flashing the water to steam to drive the turbos?

Interesting idea, though I wonder why it hasn't already been done.

Probably more costly to execute properly

Default Sounds like the mechanism needed for getting maximum heat out of the exhaust would be at least as of

an exhaust restriction as a turbo hot-side wheel (I am envisioning something like an intercooler on the exhaust). Other issue is lack of response and that cruising at 60-70 mph would = cool water in steam system so it would not produce much psi until you were on it for awhile. And don't forget that simplicity is a virtue.

BTW I am just making comments. Not pointing at you.

I think the idea was the intercooler part would go on the outside of the exhaust, not in it
