The idea is the same but they have come up with a closed system that heats "freon" that is 10 -12 times more reactive to heat than water and much heavier. It boils at lower temps and delivers far more energy to the piston than steam. As for the compressed air car... It has far less potential and mileage per liter than any other proposed energy sourse.
