Utilizing exhaust gas from cars to generate electricity

The increasing number of cars worldwide has caused environmental pollution due to increasing emissions.

The scientific community of many countries is still trying to find a way to solve this problem.

Recently, scientists from Purdue University and US General Motors have cooperated to invent a thermoelectric generator that produces electricity by taking advantage of the temperature difference.

This thermoelectric generator can convert heat from car exhaust into electricity.

According to scientists, thermoelectric conversion technology can not only provide electricity for the vehicle, but also can be used in recycling household devices, generators and applications in battery production. New generation solar energy.

The National Science Foundation and the US Department of Energy spent $ 1.4 million on this research project.
