"Commercially, the Mark 5 engine could be used in power generators, automobiles, trucks and boats.

In August, Schoell's team will also attempt to set a new water speed record for steam-powered boats on a South Florida waterway."

I love the idea in a boat...could it run on salt and fresh water???? that would be awsome...just put out a pick -up tube and you would never need to stop for a fill up...no added wight for fuel cells.

And let's not forget our very own "Brownie's" involvement in the company. It's a very cool idea with broad implications if produced en masse. I wish them success and the best of luck.
