Hmm... Like a steam engine?... I haven't heard of water being shot into a Gas engine, as it would cause combustion issue's & detonation/improper fuel burn.... Similar to a head gasket

This. I've never heard of a gas engine having water injected into it.

Hmmm... After some reasearch the best I could come up withe is the Prototype "crower six-stroke"

It seams water injection has been used in Jet turbine engines, to cool the inlet charge

However I for see an issue with hyrolicking a gas internal combustion engine it jet setting & timming isn't perfect

If u find what ur looking for plz let me know... As I'm pretty interested in this

Might be "turbosteamer" however its a Combined Cycle engine... Using a Steam Engine & an Internal Combustion Engine to recycle the waste heat from BMW
