produced automobile the preferred embodiment of the gas steam powered hybrid automobile contains an internal combustion engine this engine gets gasoline from the fuel tank in the preferred embodiment of this automobile there is also a piston type steam engine connected to a drivetrain the piston type steam engine is powered by steam generated by a boiler the boiler is powered by the same fuel as is the internal combustion engine spent steam from the steam engine goes through a condenser and is recycled back into the boiler upon starting the vehicle the necessary steam pressure is not yet attained so the automotive vehicle operates entirely from power delivered to the drivetrain from the standard internal combustion engine however after a few minutes the self contained boiler has attained adequate steam pressure and the steam engine is capable of powering the vehicle without the concurrent operation of the internal combustion engine in the preferred embodiment fuel efficiency can be theoretically doubled relative to that of the current internal combustion automobile what is new is the addition of a steam engine as the primary producer of motive force this is an improvement over the tried and true predecessor automobile in its essence this improvement retains the vast majority of technical features of the current state of the automotive art as is found in the prior art this vehicle contains a drivetrain it also contains engines to provide motive force it reshuffles the power sources however the envisioned vehicle is what can be thought of as a u2018 gas steam u2019 hybrid automotive vehicle the instant invention provides for an automotive vehicle powered by both an internal combustion engine and a piston type steam.
