Maybe it is steam powered to avoid the escalating fuel costs!  I wonder how many shovel fulls of coal it needs per mile? ;D ;D ;D :y

What's the point- if you haven't got it don't pretend, because you just make you self look stupid when it comes around to some speed  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :'(

CO2 is sprayed onto turbo/supercharger intercoolers for extra cooling - a 10deg drop in temp can yield an extra 2%power increase - so def a point in high power apps ;)

Uhm, food for thought. I can see why the application would be good for some petrol engines especially when he turbo starts to glow  ::)

Surely the intence heat from a Turbo suddly being blasted by CO2 to cool it would cause metal cracking issues over a period of time?
