Yamaha and Sumitomo demo on-board thermoelectric generator for CO2 reduction

Green Car Congress

The TEG, which is installed in a part of vehicle exhaust system, can reduce CO 2 emissions by reducing alternator load by generating electrical power from unutilized waste exhaust gas and also by early warm-up of engine by heated coolant through the TEG unit at engine start. g/km) by optimizing the vehicle installation of TEG unit.

Five Cool Tech Demos From the ARPA-E Summit

Cars That Think

Chilldyne optimized the cold plate using corkscrew-shaped metal channels, called turbulators, that force water around them “like little tornadoes,” maximizing the heat absorbed, says Harrington. The company plans to install them in old irrigation channels to generate renewable energy and new revenue streams for rural communities.

We drove the 500hp electric Arc Sport and holy heck, this thing rips

Baua Electric

Arc has built the first models of its much-anticipated Arc Sport 500hp electric wake boat, and we got a chance to take it for a quick demo in Long Beach, CA and holy heck, this thing rips. After getting a quick demo ride from Arc, it was time for me to grab the helm and go for a spin.

Generating Power on Earth From the Coldness of Deep Space

Cars That Think

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. In the case of moving water, a turbine harvests the energy in the flow to generate hydroelectricity.
