US Air Force Office of Scientific Research Makes Two Awards for Thermoelectric Waste Heat Recovery Technology

Green Car Congress

The US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) has recently made two awards to researchers to support multi-year projects on the development of thermoelectric (TE) waste heat recovery technologies. Such devices can recover some of the energy embedded in waste heat, such as that produced by exhaust gas from an engine.
