Even those cute toy fans that spin when you put a candle under them aren't operating on heat, they move from the airflow of the hot air past the blades.


In other words; an engine burning cooler is burning more efficiently. A 100% efficient engine (impossible) would have zero heat coming from the exhaust.
Incorrect. Without pressure, there is no leverage. Without heat, there is no pressure. Atomized diesel is ignited by heat which generates pressure.
