BMW Turbosteamer gets hot and goes - Autoblog (#)

„Actually something like this would be perfect for gasoline/electric hybrid powerplants, don't you think? If they used a lower boiling point liquid, and a microturbine on one end you could use it to make electricity, which could then be used to charge a hybrid car's battery. The weight is low, the mechanical complexity is not very high and improves efficiency in a way that doesn't involve other more expensive solutions.“

GM’s Focus on Electricity; Expanded Hybrid Offerings and a 2-Mode Hybrid Plug-in VUE Under Development (corrected) (#)

„Considering that 1 out of every 6 gallons of fuel used is burned in a stationary car or truck then even an idle-stop hybrid is a big improvement. GM and other companies are waiting to see what battery technology is most cost effective considering there maybe a demand for 10 million battery packs/yr. Foamed lead could still prove a better buy than lithium.“
