Flash Boiler Control Scheme

One more thing: I have attached a patent for a flash-boiler control scheme, since I saw you are also thinking about steam power - it's purely mechanical (maintainable) - springs, valves, orifices, etc. This was used on a couple of experimental small runabout cars in the '60s, but could apparently handle rapidly varying steam demand (no personal experience, but I know where there is an old '41 Ford dump-bed truck in pretty good shape, but no engine, so had stashed this away "just in case" I have a chance to convert it to steam - it would be cheap to run on wood-gas or another bio-fuel, Babington burner style).
