There are many great strides you are making...keep up the great work!!
A company out of Florida call Cyclone Power has made an 'external' combustion steam engine that is quite impressive. They have an engine going in a steam buff's car to run in the Land Speed Record at the Salt Flats this August 13-19. They are looking for a fuel sponsor, as their engine can run on anything combustable...it would be a fantastic PR move for us to join in the process. The current record is just under 149mph for a steam engine, the way it sounds they will blow that away. Here are a few links/contacts for you to check out:

Not only would it have great exposure for us, I really think it would be a win/win for both of the companies!
