An exercize in thermal efficiency... at it's infancy. Pretty remarkable and still impressive results, check out the build details on the site link. The guy that owns it is crazy as a loon, though... he's offered it for sale several times for as much as $1M and as low as $250,000. It's been bid up to $50K on eBay, but most likely by the seller or a friend. Currently priced at a mere $425,000.
