Most fuel in gas-powered vehicles is wasted as heat, but a new study reveals a way to convert this lost energy into ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost ...

Gas-powered engines waste a lot of energy. In fact, only about a quarter of the fuel’s energy is used to power the vehicle, while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. This wasted heat could be an ...

Have you ever wondered how much potential energy from fuel is lost in gas-powered vehicles? Surprisingly, traditional ...

A team of researchers from the Pennsylvania State University, USA has developed a prototype thermoelectric generator system ...

Scientists presented a prototype thermoelectric generator system capable of converting the exhaust heat from combustion engines to electricity. A study from researchers from Pennsylvania State ...

A compact thermoelectric generator built by researchers at Pennsylvania State University can convert exhaust heat from cars, ...

TheWall Street Journal reports that the problem is with "weak actuators-control mechanisms" in the exhaust ... heat-recovery systems that can end up leaking engine coolant, which will then force ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel's potential energy while the rest is lost ...

Heat-recovery systems, called thermoelectric systems ... their system produced up to 56 W for car-like exhaust speeds and 146 W for helicopter-like exhaust speeds, or the equivalent of five ...
