Freeze water to get heat under your automobile
Dr LeRoy D Weld of Coe college explains that freezing water under a car engine releases heat. A bucket formed ten pounds of ice overnight, yielding 1440 BTU, enough to raise a gallon of water from freezing to boiling and help prevent radiator freezing. The heat equals a 40 watt lamp for 10 1/2 hours.
