Electricity from Car exhaust pipe
a new material called thallium-doped lead telluride which has been designed to convert car engine exhaust heat into electricity will bring us one step closer to a green energy. The research team from Ohio State University created the new material that could also be used to help power generators and heat pumps.
“The material does all the work. It produces electrical power just like conventional heat engines — steam engines, gas or diesel engines — that are coupled to electrical generators, but it uses electrons as the working fluids instead of water or gases, and makes electricity directly,” Heremans said in a statement on the OSU web site. Moving forward with their research, Heremans and his team hope to further increase the efficiency rating of the new material.
