Abstract

In vehicles system, there are many types of energy flow from fuel as a chemical energy to the exhaust system as a thermal energy. Without realized, there have a lots of wasted energy been occurs when the engine starts running. In fact, there only 15 percent of the energy from the fuel from tank gets used to move car down the road or run useful accessories. The rest of the energy is lost to engine, idling, accessories, driveline, aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance and overcoming inertia or braking. Such as in exhaust system, the temperature at the exhaust manifold can reach around 900°C and this heat will lose to the atmosphere. Therefore, the recovery system must be created to solve this problem. One of the systems is "Turbo System" which uses the energy losses from the exhaust gas by converting to electrical energy. In this system, the energy that flows to the exhaust will rotate the turbine. The turbine will drive the additional alternator, which functions to produce current by converting from the mechanical energy to electrical energy. The current produced can be stored into the battery and will be used as an additional power for running the electrical or electronic devices in vehicle.
