Russian engineers suggest a technique for making electric current from car emissions.
Improved thermogenerator, which is a special exhaust tip, helps reducing carbon dioxide concentration in exhaust gases and cutting fuel consumption.
The device will generate electric current due to temperature difference – 30 degrees of difference between exhaust pipe and cooing element are enough for electrons to start flowing. Electricity will move to car accumulator and other electronic devices of a car.
Generator power output can reach 750 Watt, which is comparable to common car accumulators, developers say. When tip’s efficiency coefficient becomes high enough, scientists claim that no accumulators would be required in cars.
Estimated costs of this device will not exceed 300 rubles ($10), when serial production starts.
