Turning the heat given off by my car into electrical fuel for my television and radio when I get back home from work.
The internal combustion engine produces vast quantities of heat that is not required by the engine. There are energy inefficiencies and therfore heat losses (wasted energy) at the engine block, the radiator, the exhaust and all kinds of other places.
If a large truck battery (deep cycle) was fitted to my car, thermoelectric generators places on all hot surfaces on the car engine could be used to turn that heat energy into electricity, which in turn would charge up the deep cycle truck battery in the car. When I get home from work I can then trail a wire frm my car to my house and plug my entertainment system into it. Thus reducing my carbon footprint and turning the heat energy created by my daily commute into power to entertain me.
