Well since it's a steam turbine engine why isn't it listed as a turbine
record?

Let me add some more fuel to the discussion. Let's consider steam. If the
analogy between steam and electric or hydrogen is permitted then a steam
powered vehicle should be listed as what ever was used to generate the steam,
steam being the equivalent of electrons. Then the record for the steam car
would be listed as a fuel car and classified somehow in that classification.
Steam, as are electrons, the media which powers the final drive. So if a steam
car is a "steam car" then both the buckeye bullet and the Ford Fusion should
be reclassified as electric cars since final drive power was
electricity. What if the steam car had used hydrogen to fuel th eburnes that
made the steam? Would i thave been classified as a hydrogen fuel car? Can't
have it both ways, I am thinking..
mayf
