Pretty sure this is NOT steampunk:
british_steam_car_1.jpg
british_steam_car_1.jpg (39.58 KiB) Viewed 820 times

British Steam Car uses compressed-air-powered hydraulics to inject distilled water and pre-prime itself. The water is pumped into the start of 1.86 miles of tubing to develop three megawatts of heat to convert water into 750 F steam. This super-heated "dry" steam is then directed down the car via heavily lagged pipes and two enormous industrial steam valves, which act as throttles, and then into the two-stage turbine. "That's where we turn pressure into velocity," says Candy. The steam is injected into the turbine at over two times the speed of sound; under the assault, the turbine revolves at up to 13,000 rpm. The turbine drives the rear wheels via a conventional crown wheel and pinion. The vehicle turns 10.5 gallons of water a minute into super-heated steam at 40 times atmospheric pressure.

A company by the name of Revopower was developing a two-stroke wheel motor just like that a couple of years ago. I just tried going to their old web site and it looks like this product never came to fruition as it appears the company is now dead........

Guess the truth is a lot of cycles can be steampunk w/just some trim (garnish? garish?)
Steampunks play with reimagining tech for a world that never was...
