Depends on how good you want it to work. The flow rates, energy contents ASO are very different between steam and water so you'd have a lot of tweaking to do to get it to work. But if there's no need to balance the system (no mix of radiators) then it should work, after a fashion.

Why does a car radiator produce steam when broken down in the summer?

There are plenty of ways a car can break down without the radiator being a part of the cause. As for the reason you'd see steam from a radiator, it would escape if there was a leak in the radiator or the hoses, or if the cap was opened. The contents in a radiator are very hot - hot enough to produce steam.


What would cause smoke from the side of the radiator?

It is very doubtful that it is smoke. It is most likely steam. Either there is a pinhole leak in the radiator allowing hot coolant to escape that then vaporizes into steam when it hits the atmosphere... or there is something spilled on the radiator that steams when the radiator gets hot. Have the radiator pressure tested for leaks.

How do you convert pressure into electricity?

If you heat water in a closed vessel it will turn to steam when hot enough. This creates a pressure in the vessel that can force the steam being produced to drive the blades of a turbine generator to create electricity.


Why does hot water steam when it's thrown out of a cup in a cold temperature?

Hot water always steams, but when it is cold, the steam quickly converts to water droplets, and thus becomes visible. Pure steam is invisible.
