Abstract: This paper gives an overview on the use of thermoelectric materials to generate electricity through the waste heat of the exhaust gases of a vehicle.Various thermoelectric modules will be attached to the end of the exhaust of the vehicle.The exhaust pipe will act as the hot end.Fins will be used to provide a cold end for the module.By using Seebeck effect of thermoelectricity, a voltage difference will be generated which will be used to charge batteries.The batteries will be automatically charged when the vehicle runs and then, that power, generated free of cost, can be utilized further.
