The only concern with this type of system is the need to have storage tanks on the car for both fuel and water.  The fuel can be diesel or kerosene (no different to the dangers associated with other racing fuels) and I've yet to see water burn.

It is also possible to boil water by passing an electric current thru it.

You may need some pretty big batteries to get a worthwhile amount of steam, and therefore more realistic to use them to power a motor. however it could be fun to try.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.
