    Screw 60 seconds: steam car goes from 0 to 200 mph in 2.5

    Bit of a speed demon? This steam powered car has all of the acceleration you need. It has a high pressure tank fixed to its back, packed at 500 pounds per square inch. It super-heats its payload to almost 500° Fahrenheit (or 250° Celsius) and releases it in a powerful burst of steam with a force equivalent to 15,000 horsepower. — Kevin Hall
