The cooling water of an engine is at about 100C. Use this to heat a liquid with boiling point <100C and use the 'steam' to drive a turbine to generate electricity which can be stored or used as required. It's much more complex than the original idea but I imagine it could work. However, if no manufacturer is working on this system it does tend to suggest that the gain is not worth the effort.
