蒸汽汽车, 蒸汽动力车
a vehicle powered by a steam engine, typically fueled by burning combustible material
A steam car is a vehicle powered by steam instead of an engine that uses gasoline. It works by heating water to create steam, which then moves the car. These cars were popular in the 1800s and early 1900s, before gasoline-powered cars took over. Steam cars were known for being smooth to drive and having a lot of power right from the start. However, they were eventually replaced by cars with gasoline engines because they were faster and more practical.
