Calories into energy?
Uhnn... You can eat a big X-burguer and then run (cooper) 10 miles.
Ok, serious speaking, there was a "solar panel that worked at night". No kidding, it had micro antennas that captured radiant heat and converted into electricity.
In theory you could use it in the lower area of the car, pointed to the ground, to captured the radiant heat of the hot road and convert into electricity.

Not with that attitude!
If I, or perhaps someone smarter, could figure it out, you wouldn't need a radiator!
Or an AC unit!
Or a refrigerator!
In theory, you could keep an entire room, building, city, or glacier a pre-determined temperature.
Of course, what would you do with all of that energy?
Bit mining! :P
