Interesting, but not my main focus. I would like to see this type of
solution to function with TLUDs as the heat source. Then count me in.

running a warship.
We're a lot better at understanding how things go boom than we were
100 years ago. And materials science has improved enormously.
Running a steam engine at low temperatures and pressures imposes some
thermodynamic limitations on efficiency and exhaust temperatures but
in some situations this may not be an issue.
What would be useful is an analysis around what's available
commercially now in this space and what might be available with a bit
of R&D.
But I think it's far to say that steam is definitely not sexy in the
renewable energy world :) I've mentioned it a few times as a viable
option in some circumstances. Generally leads to a sort of blank
incomprehension
