Exhaust water recovery for power

[Wild one]

Seems like an expensive and complicated way to incorporate a water injection system,but it does demostrate the benefits to capturing the H2O from the exhaust and using it as cooling medium in the cylinder. If nothing else it should reduce carbon build-up in the cylinder

And add 100 other expensive things to go wrong with the system.

No thanx

Maybe in the desert where water is scarce. Seems easier to get water from a hose, spigot or faucet and put it in a tank.

I had a water injection system on my 1969 Firebird back in the late 70’s early 80’s. A 1 gallon reservoir lasted quite a few days as I recall.

Goes to show, just because it is new to you, doesn’t mean it’s new.

Water/m$th injection was all the rage in the late 70's,ever hotrod mag of the day was talking about it.In the hi-po world it's still very common to add a water /m$th set-up by injecting it into the intake trac,especially on boosted engines,or diesal engines,so it's nothing new,but the idea of capturing the H2O from the exhaust and using it,is fairly new
I'm guessing this idea to capture the H2O from the exhaust is to reduce emissions for the average owner who would never stay on top of keeping a tank full of water
