Speaking of an internal combustion/ steam hybrid.

The steam and internal combustion hybrid.The steam and internal combustion hybrid is a concept for a normal kind of power generator engine that that will capture and use the exhaust manifold heat before it can simply escape into the air.
The way i would imagine it would be 4 cylindr running a four stroke configuration using methane as the fuel.
There would be 2 other cylindars running steam power having collected the heat from the internal combustion burn. These might be set up in the same engine block and using the same crank shaft. These would be 2 stroke devices and would begin to push as the water heated to a working steam pressure.
This way instead of simply shunting the waste heat into a water holding take a large part of the waste heat would go into the end product electrical generation, and the remainder of the waste heat would be saved for either heat or hot water.
This would give the generator an extra boost and and the only waste product that gets discarded will be some CO2 but less than any other method by 50% or thereabouts.
The technology hasn't been invented yet, but i could describe the concept in less than a paragraph and an elementary school kid should be able to understand it.
i keep saying that people should maintain a rain capture water reservoir. If you had more than one then you could save heat and cold as well as water. We could go back to producing all our own utilities like cave men did, but it would be "modern" and wouldn't smell bad or cause any particular difficulties.
With a hybrid steam/ internal combustion generator system you could produce high purity water as a combustion product.
On TV they keep telling us we need to buy more more more energy. It's awful what they do. and it's awful that we believe them at all. It is big time bullshit over reality control for economic control. Get reat for the ghostable interface controller chip. That's so your controllers can crash your car or airplane and it will look like an accident
