ABSTRACT:
A system that may utilize heat normally wasted in known internal combustion engines to heat a fluid is described. The fluid may be maintained under pressure and when the fluid is injected into a cylinder in place of fuel during the combustion stroke, it may expand thus driving the piston back down.
