Anybody read the Patent on this yet??

i still haven't figured out how he create's the steam unless he is injecting water under pressure into the exhaust cycle with the exhaust valve closed to hold the heat, let the steam expand for another steam assisted power-stroke and then exhaust and then sucking in fuel/air and repeating??????

Still hasn't addressed corrosion problem inherent with this set-up (another name for steam is oxallic acid). I would use the direct injection and the cam he developed to control this to try nitrous oxide injection for cleaner (complete) combustion and super cooling of piston (that's how Watt's steam engine worked, use vacuum not pressure). Just an idea.
