Imagine an electric car and a steam engine generator, please do not compare to gasoline, 120 mile distances?

Question

The questions are: What can we do? Where can we find these documented attempts of others. Can we find out if these ideas were ever attempted? Has anyone done any research or have some positive information? Who could we ask or notify, to get these answers?

Answer 1

Now all you need is a lot of fuel.

Answer 2

I do not understand:  What can you do with what???  Your questions do not make sense!

Are you aking if anyone knows if people used these two devices in a system? For what?  with what results?  For going 120 miles?

Then you want to research it with "positive" information...

What about negative information? Wouldn't that be at least as helpful?

Answer 3

Will a electric car pull a trailer full of 10 tons of food  to you favorite food market

Answer 4

If I understand your question right you want to use a steam engine to generate electricity to power a car.

I hate to tell you this, you’re better off just using the steam to power the car, look at the Doble steam car, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doble_Steam... . Here was a car that despite weighting 5,000 pound got about 30 MPG and meets most of the emission standards of today.

Answer 5

The SS Titanic used steam turbines. Steam was heated in a boiler over a coal fire.

Stanley Steamer was a steam driven car. Not sure if it used coal or train oil (train oil from whales).

The golf cart is an electric car. batteries require charging from the coal driven electric grid.

Lots of stuff on the internet.
