If the heat of high compression ignites diesel fuel when injected to create the power stroke in a diesel engine , then why couldn't you inject atomized water into an engine with sufficient compression creating enough heat to turn the water to steam instantly also creating a power stroke? The principle of a liquid changing to an expanding gas would be the same as injecting any other liquid fuel into a super-heated chamber of oxygen. We already know that steam will push a piston with a lot of force ,BUT, does it matter if it is already steam when it enters the cylinder or if the steam is created in the cylinder? We have already proven that we can creat heat without fuel through high compression. Heat and water make steam and steam is powerfull and emission free. So what is the problem here?? I know there are smarter people on here than me that can (and will) make me look real stupid for even asking this question. I'm up for it! Fire away. It's how we learn.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
