If you care to do the number crunching yourself, you will find that it is a lot of waste energy. Maybe it can be made use of. But I don't know how. Evidently you don't either. So, we are at an impasse.

No impasse at all, you are claiming that I know with certainty ( a gross misrepresentation of fact ) I am claiming an opinion of firm belief of fact, but its still an opinion. I think most people know for a fact that heat can be converted to electricity and other forms of energy. One only has to refer to the original posted article in this thread to see the research being done with waste heat and sound and electricity, to name just one approach of several. It's really common sense to make use of this significant waste heat and as such I won't be elaborating upon the obvious, suffice to repeat, there is plenty of indication out there for those that choose to look, that waste heat will in all reasonable likelihood, be better utilized in future and improve the overall efficiency of motor vehicles and potentially other heat engine technology. I have absolutely no doubt about it.
