the adiabatic engine in Popular Science, used almost no water to cool the
engine because it was designed to run red hot. It was designed and tested in small
car by Smokey.

I don't think anyone has any experience actually building the type of
cooling system you suggest. I further postulate that the reason is
because it doesn't work very well, is extremely difficult to fabricate
and co$t$ too much for the supposed (and as yet undetermined)
benefits.

But if you feel you can build this type of system, perhaps you should.
Then you can tell the world about your success.

Right, Smokey was nearly a God. He could pull more power out of an
engine than just about anyone else who called him a peer.

But for some reason, this cooling system he invented/fabricated did
not become widely known. Wonder why not? Could it be that it was too
expensive, too hard to fabricate and too vulnerable?
