About 30 percents of the energy produced by a gasoline engine is used to move a car, and nearly 70 percent is lost through waste heat. A thermoelectric generator module can harvest some of this waste heat. Thermoelectric power generation voltage and current according to the temperature change at high temperature part of thermoelectric module is increased. The reason is that the Bi-Te based thermoelectric module which is to recover waste heat of exhaust gas is increased according to high temperature. The maximum power of 5.1 Watt at 230℃ was generated at energy harvesting system using exhaust gas from internal combustion engine. Thermal power module temperature difference between both ends of the high temperature and low temperature section increases the maximum output power increases. The key factor of Thermoelectric power generation performance is the temperature difference between the both ends.
