Smokey's Hot Vapor Engine

Post

What is it? What does it do? What are the benefits/disadvantages of it vs. a normal engine.

It super heated the air fuel mixture using exhaust heat. Increasing the over all thermal efficiency of the motor.

So far smokey was the only one who could get it to work.

Grab a copy of Best Damn garage in town It out lies it pretty well and is a great read

You can tell it's an old link because there are three entire pages of technical discussion without a single argument. Ah, the good ol' days...
