Converting motorcycle engine to "Steam Engine"

I suggest you first read this topic:
http://www.gassavers.org/forum_topic/bmw_turbosteamer_waste_heat_recovery.html

And here is a guy who converted a 4-cycle 2 cylindered motorcycle engine to run on steam:
http://www.steamengine.com.au/steam/models/orv/

Did you understand what i mean ?

What do you think about the idea of harnessing exhaust heat by wrapping flexible copper pipes around exhaust pipe and produce steam to run a similar steam engine that this guy has done ?

Maybe this small steam engine can be run to power another alternator and the electricity generated can be used to produce hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis in another seperate container ?

There wouldnt be any space in engine compartment but i think the steam engine (and its other related gadgets) can be put to the luggage compartment.

And what about the steam that leaves the steam engine ? should it go to the air or can it be recycled by using another car radiator (maybe placed underneath of the car) to make it condense ?
