Well, I usually think of cars such as this. This Doble Series E is one of many steam cars that Jay Leno owns. The device in front that looks like a radiator is actually a condenser, which turns the used steam back into water to get re-boiled to run through the cylinders again. The engine itself generates 1,000 lb/ft of torque.

Technically we are still in the steam age.
Even though we can split atoms, what do we do with the energy? Boil water!
Even the internal combustion engine is taking advantage of expanded vapors aka steam power.

Dad’s Army did something similar with the butcher’s truck?
