I think a Victorian-era-style model rocket would be the perfect vehicle (pardon the pun) for this type of propulsion... someone could dive into a whole new sub-genre in model rocket design! Steampunk is huge...
Hmmmm...
I have only very recently heard of the Steampunk genre (modern devices that use Victorian Age technology). This Google page (see: http://www.google.com/search?sclien...K=Google+Search ) lists a book and a web site devoted to steam rocket design, and has numerous images of various steam rockets.
