Exhaust gas heats water and turns it into steam, steam turns a small generator to produce more energy! Very nice!

Another plus for Honda. That's great.

Looks pretty sweet! But it also looks like they need to get the efficiency of it up before manufacturers start using them in production cars.

Just like everything else :)

Nice concept, now they need to try and put the heat taken away by the coolant to use. There is probably as much or more heat there than in the exhaust.

Awesome. Even if they are "blowing away" the current hybrids, at least Toyota stepped up and got a product out on the market, and have had one on the market a few years now. But it's great to see improvements now from other companies. I was watching some show the other week and they were talking about a Jeep that was going to be able to go something like 40 miles without a drop of gas.
