Has anyone checked into this device??

[Gardner Yeaw]

I read an article recently about someone who developed an engine
that alternated between fuel and water injection. On the first
cycles diesel was injected creating lots of heat and pushing the
piston down, on the next cycles water was injected and converted to
steam from the heat of compression and the residual heat from the
first combustion stroke. This not only took advantage of the
residual heat, it also cooled the engine so little other cooling was
required.

I believe it is still in the development stages, but it was a
pretty good design.
