Though for usage in cars would imply some kind of small/portable vacuum storage tanks and a way to put the heat to work (most likely initially through a steam engine and eventually directly to electricity via advanced thermocouples[0]) [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/1308.5935&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1308.5935/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
