Novel Electrothermodynamic Power Generation

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: To investigate how exhaust heat from automobiles can be converted to renewable energy, an innovative electrothermodynamic cycle is presented, which is based on temporal temperature variations, the pyroelectric effect, instead of spatial temperature gradient, and the Seebeck effect. A generating mechanism is investigated using operando time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Practical energy and true energy breakeven are achieved via real engine dynamometer experiments.
