A quick question: We all seem to be fixated on "excess energy". What if one of the many innovative (or potentially innovative) ideas were to result in an engine (a fairly simple engine) of some sort that ***didn't*** produce excess energy, but did have an overall efficiency of, say, three times that of the most efficient internal combustion engine? Wouldn't that be worth pursuing from a practical standpoint?
Absolutely, I have an engineer friend who says that he can do just that by injecting water. However, water or steam densification of the charge going into an ICE has been exhaustively studied. The efficiency does increase, but it's no where doubled, let alone 300%.
