Abstract

In today's modern world, we are shaken by sophisticated and powerful technology. We can see around us there are many tools we often use in everyday life that we are not aware of the sophistication. These tools are designed to help people in their lives more effective. Technology helps to save time, to provide comfort to humans and more. In line with that, over the last 180 years, thermoelectric generators have been created and since then many people have tried and discovered the advantages of using this thermoelectric generator.From this project, the objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of thermoelectric generator (TEG) that had been placed on car. The method was experimentally studied by using waste heat energy produced by the exhaust’s car. A 1.5 national sedan car was used in this study where the TEG prototype that had been built was been placed at the exhaust pipe after the exhaust manifold. Then the temperature at cold and hot side of TEG, voltage and current were measured based on the rpm of the car. From the analysis and observation, the current and voltage produced were increased as the temperature difference increased.
