    There’s going to be a limit to how much pressure before stalling and/or damaging the engine, but it would inflate, and as the gases cooled, it would deflate somewhat.

    Exhaust jacks are used in 4x4 recovery, so an engine can lift a car, but they seem pretty limited and dangerous and I’ve only seen one used once in my ~25yrs off road.

      Okay hear me out, I know this is funking stupid but what if: We only use a portion of the exhaust and make some sort of system that can feed the gas to when wheels are spinning and monitor the pressure at the same time, then add a lining on the inside of the tires to protect the rubber.
