Of course for use in the car, anti-freeze would be used, not straight water!

I have heard that paraffin can hold more heat energy, but I would hold off on experimenting with that. I am just trying to play with some basics here. I already know the car is designed to run antifreeze through the heater core, so modifying a heating system based on that is pretty straight forward.
