Anyone remember those water-powered rockets we used to have as kids? (Or did I just date myself...)

Is this car steam powered, or is there a water pump turbine set up in it similar to a pressure washer?

Dunno. Haven't found that out yet... I hadn't thought of steam. I would think that if it was steam, it would have been quite painful to be standing in its jet-blast. (Hot!!)

I would be curious to know more about it if you could get more information.

Looks like steam to me. The you can see it condense on the camera lens. And right before it takes off you can see what looks to be a small amount of steam coming out.

The Greeks had that steam wheel thing that went around and around a few thousand years ago. Same principle if that car is steam.

I think most water vapor mixture put under pressure will go to a gas state (that looks like steam) as soon as its released from the pressure and then recondense once it hits a solid surface (camera).

But that video is amazing, I wonder what pressure the vapor was under right before launch
