Of which, both sound and heat are largely a result of friction (and a tiny bit of arcing). You could feasibly trap some of the heat by some kind of exchanger and feasibly use some of the air pressure from the noise to drive a diaphragm but all you will ultimately do is create yet more losses downstream in processing that kinetic energy. Newton had this figured out centuries ago - Every action has an EQUAL and opposite reaction. So whilst I applaud you for a drive in efficiency I’d suggest spending your time working on lubricants and bearings rather than this?
You are contradicting yourself. Every action does not have an equal and opposite reaction. There is some loss in every action.
 
There is some loss in every action.
There you go there is loss. Now every aspect of science even so called settled science is and should always be challenged. The challenge here is how to efficiently recover those losses while not spending more time/money/energy than it would to just "accept" those losses.

Edit to add - the total energy output including losses proves Rockingit and some other mad scientist from a while back are indeed correct "every action......."
