Ha ha! Neither is engineering, where in a situation like this there
are so many things that all interact.
I suspect that's why the Nomad never went into production -- it was
fabulously efficient, but only when it actually worked

Right, can't get 212 out of the coolant...well, you can right before you
have a lot of trouble.
Even post turbo EGT is hot enough to boil water. If you could do that to run
a generator or even use a second turbo
I wonder if the water's expansion would off-set the cooling of the
exhaust (lowering pressure and volume). If not, could this be a way to
get low RPM boost - an alternative to the variable vane turbos?

I think so... or at least thats how I read the whole 'conservation of
energy' thing.

Yup - that's what I thought.

It wouldn't gain you any energy, and would only be of use
if it changed the

Take the compressor off the shaft and install a gear reduction system
and a speed regulator (so it won't blow up) and you've got a turbo-
generator. However, it's gonna be weak
The engineering is, well, complex, as Napier found out. The Nomad
was pretty much just a finger in Rolls
