==Water as a Lubricant==
Ah, the age of steam. So romantic. So cool. It would be wonderful if actually worked. And it's close, so close. Just that little problem of lubrication to solve. But alas, that problem has proved intractible for 100 years. The idea that water, whether deionized, supercritical, or whatever, can be used as a lubricant in a high temperature, high pressure engine, is wishful dreaming. The only source given for that astonishing claim is Harry's website, and there's nothing there to support it.
