What do you get if you make a three burner kerosene blowtorch and aim it at a stainless steel coil full of water, put it in a boat, tie it up to a pole in the middle of a pond, and set light to it?.....A 15,000 RPM 120 MPH world record, that's what!

Turn the sound up, and the 5th lap is probably the fastest.

Give the mad buggers 20 seconds to pump up the blow lamp, prime the water pump,and spin the engine. It is a bit quiet till the prop starts spinning.......and then you wouldn't get me any where near it, let alone 2 ft away at bollocks level !!!!! And all from a 13 cc single cylinder steam engine!!!!! Yea, STEAM ENGINE!



It could only happen in England.

Pretty cool. Any links that show the propulsion system?
 
Not a steam powered model, but check out this RC Jet:
