A hybrid internal combustion engine/electrical motor ground vehicle propulsion system is disclosed wherein a fluid is first heated in an internal combustion engine cylinder water jacket and then converted to its gaseous phase in a double walled manifold enshrouding the internal combustion engine exhaust manifold. The gas then turns a turbine, exits to a condenser where the gas is condensed into liquid, and then the fluid is returned to a radiator to await the next cycle. The turbine is rotatably connected to a generator which produces electrical energy when the turbine turns. This electrical energy is used to charge a bank of batteries. The bank of batteries is used to supply an electrical motor which may be used as a complementary or alternate source of propulsion for a ground vehicle.
