We expect a significant increase in energy savings in the long term with the TEG technology used. This energy saving has varied as the temperature difference in the assembly, or the type of conductor, has changed. For example, when the cold face is 6.5 C° with ceramic TEG module, the hot face is 46.5 C°, 1 module with 1.5 volts, 2 modules with 2.5 volts, 4 modules with 4.5 volts, 8 modules with 8.5 volts energy is obtained. This system will be connected to the vehicles, so much more thermal difference will be generated and the energy outcome is much more than expected. In addition to the energy gain, exhaust gas, which is seen as waste in vehicles, was also used. Thanks to the energy provided, the energy used by the vehicle is met and the pressure on the battery is reduced. Therefore, the battery life has been extended. Thanks to the extended battery life, the expenditure on the battery has decreased and economic gains have been achieved. By using the thermal energy of the exhaust gas released into the air, the damage caused by the exhaust gas to nature has been reduced as much as possible.As resources we used some books and we asked our physics theachers to make sure it doesn't fail Here are the resources that we used;
