That energy isn't waste energy, it is used to move the car. Running that sort of setup would put an extra load on the engine; it would take more torque to turn the drive shaft in that case. You'd use more fuel to produce that torque, therefore cutting down on your MPG. This would be like adding an extra alternator onto the engine, though it would be turning the whole time the car is moving.
I don't really understand the water/metal thing, but I don't really have to. It sounds intriguing, even if you're "just" using it to keep your battery topped up. Or perhaps a number of batteries.
