It's an old idea that does increase efficiency because the water vapour has a much greater volume than the liquid water. It has been tried but usually deemed not worth the trouble, imv this is because it has never been applied in the best possible manner.

The next time I'm rich, I'll build a completely re-designed engine and revolutionize the motor industry.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
