This is another example of people being sold technology because it sounds good.

A much simpler and safer option is the hybrid steam engine. In this a normal four stroke engine is modified to take a few drops of water at stroke five which flashes to steam and provides a power stroke. It also acts as a heat sink, reducing the reliance on a radiator.
