Just more hype or something that could actually be worthwhile?

Look up Doble steamcars...

Jay Leno has one. The later ones are pretty close to driving a conventional car. Especially considering the age of the Dobles.

Good tech, and I wish the company well. If they can build em cheap enough, Ill buy one.
