<VV> Reverse Rotation Cooling

[FrankCB at aol.com]

A better solution would be to recover the water produced by the combustion  
of hydrocarbons (gasoline).  When you burn things that contain hydrogen you 
 get, not surprisingly, H2O.  For every gallon of gasoline burned the 
engine  produces roughly a gallon of water.  And you're unlikely to use  that 
much water for water injection unless you're trying to set a new Bonneville  
record.  We could check with Tom K. and see how much he used for his  150+mph 
run (with gasoline), and his later 174 mph run (with propane).

Well the  solution is obvious!  Put air conditioning on the car and pipe 
the  condensate into the water injection tank!  (said with tongue firmly  
planted in cheek!)

It's akin to having a leaky radiator!!  LOL
