With the amount of heat pooring out of any ICE vehicle after 15 minutes -- a simple design of copper tubing, small turbine and and alternator -- could save a fair amount of gas.

If you have a short commute -- steam will never work except for recharging.
I think the solar collector idea has merit for recharging during work ours too --much more so than solar panels.

I'd build one -- but my two prototypes severly limit any project time.

Right or Wrong ? Does more IR than UV pass through the atmosphere?
