| has gloss | eng: A turbosteamer is a term used by BMW to describe a combined cycle engine. It uses a steam engine to convert waste heat energy from an internal combustion engine into supplemental power for the vehicle. The turbosteamer device is affixed to the exhaust system. It salvages the heat wasted in the exhaust (as much as 80% of heat energy) and uses a steam piston to relay that power to the crankshaft. The steam circuit produces and of torque at peak (for a 1.8 Straight-4 engine), yielding an estimated 15% gain in fuel efficiency. Unlike gas-electric hybrids, these gains increase at higher, steadier speeds. |
