Abstract

In the working of internal combustion engines, lot of heat energy is dissipated in the form of exhaust gases. This paper involves the conversion of waste heat in to useful electric power by using thermo electric power generator. Thermo electric generators (TEGS) are currently a topic of interest in the field of energy harvesting for automobiles. In applying TEGS to the outside of the exhaust tailpipe of a vehicle, the difference in temperature between the hot exhaust gases and the automobile coolant can be used to generate a small amount of electrical power to be used in the vehicle. The amount of power is anticipated to be a few hundred watts based on the temperatures expected and the properties of the materials for the TEG.
