I did and no one has a definite answer that is plausible in physical terms,hence the question.You cant use radiators because there is no medium to convey the heat and you cant transfer heat into other wavelenghts without producing even more heat so microwave radiators and alike are too out of question.Then you could circulate water in a heatpipe and when the water is hot just dump the water, but that is more than likely out of question for a car.
Thermal radiation occurs through a vacuum or any transparent medium (solid or fluid). It is the transfer of energy by means of photons in electromagnetic waves governed by the same laws.
Thermal radiation is energy emitted by matter as electromagnetic waves, due to the pool of thermal energy in all matter with a temperature above absolute zero. Thermal radiation propagates without the presence of matter through the vacuum of space.[14]
Black-body radiation is the thermal electromagnetic radiation within or surrounding a body in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment, or emitted by a black body (an opaque and non-reflective body). It has a specific spectrum and intensity that depends only on the body's temperature, which is assumed for the sake of calculations and theory to be uniform and constant.
You do not understand that you cant make EM radiation from heat by changing wavelength without generating more heat do you.You cant make photons without heat why do you think lamps generate heat?Wikipedia copypasta just shows you have no idea what you are talking about.We're not talking about RTG's but a system collecting heat then gettign rid of said heat from a closed system like a space shuttle.If your copypasta would work in real world physics why the fuck did the space shuttles use the water method,hm?Because they had so much spare lifting weight that couple hundred litres of water didnt matter?

Please come on! You can't get it any more simpler.
