Can we use the heat to boil water to turn a turbine? Or would the water never cool enough to be used again?
What about using the heat to create pressure and then releasing the pressure to help move the fly wheel?

This is Watt idea. The steam machine. Is OK, it works. In fact, the first car was like this. The problem is the performance, or efficiency. The percentage of energy you transform in work from the combustible energy.
If you are making a big machine such as a power plant, this is the best idea. Have best efficiency. If the machine is little, the best is two times gasoline engine. Like little motorbikes, is the power is a little bigger, is better 4 times gasoline, bigger, diesel, for example little ships. And only in a very big machine the steam machine is better
