1. So you think this could ever actually work?

Looking forward to going out and firing up the furnace every morning for 20 minutes before work to boil the water for your commute?

How about the way home? Is your employer going to grant you access to a furnace to boil your water?

What about the grocery store? They going to install boiler for you to use so you can get home?

What about when the temperature is -4 and it's so cold that your water no longer makes steam after 5 miles?

There is a reason that steam trains went out, and a reason why this technology was never adopted. It is called logic.
