I am still a bit confused as to how this article actually fufills the title’s promise of “5 ways to reclaim engine heat…” All that was posted here is a bit of research which seems quite ineffective at the moment.

Green energy is definitely the best solution in most cases. Technology like solar energy, wind power, fuel cells, zaps electric vehicles, EV hybrids, etc have come so far recently. Green energy even costs way less than oil and gas in many cases.

Reducing heat does make a significant improvement in engine efficiency. For combustable engines, you can use an engine flush to remove sludge and varnish and keep the engine clean by using good air, gas and oil filter. That along with a good synthetic oil can greatly reduce engine temperatures that will help with fuel mileage and engine protection.

OK, one can try to improve on a crappy process (IC) or use a less crappy process to begin with (Electric). But hey, if we would replace the IC engine with an electro engine, we would not need to service the car anymore, that would actually cause less cost, but also be bad for the economy.

It’s very hard to see how the expense of this technology could be justified if PHEVs can be made to work. If a PHEV IC engine is used 20-30% of the time, then the efficiency improvements therein are likewise diminished by 70-80%.
