How about stirling engines?
If they can power a sub why not a small car? =

Heat is one of the most abundant energy sources. I have even read that =
heat can be stored in a bottle via steam and methane throught a =
catalist. The heat can then be used by running the stored gas throught =
another catalist. The water and mathane are unchanged.

One device has only a 30% efficiency (http://www.lanl.gov/mst/engine/=20
This is not that bad for a device with no moving parts other than =
perhaps a generator.

The pentagon has a solar version that can generate enough power to run =
the place. The size is not all that big. This same type could be used =
in a car. Ill look for the URL.

It seems that stirling engines could be verry useful.
