Engine insulation to conserve heat.
I couldn't find any wiki post on this.
I'm by no means a expert, but as far as I have understod it, the engine is a heat engine, that excerts work based on differance of heat.
Would it be possible to gain efficiency, by insulating the engine (and/or engine compartment), and using colder intake of air, to get a higher differance between the hottest and coldest?
