Most fuel in gas-powered vehicles is wasted as heat, but a new study reveals a way to convert this lost energy into ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost ...

To be effective, a heat pipe must be composed of material with high thermal conductivity, usually copper or copper alloy. The fluid inside must have the correct vapor pressure, viscosity and thermal ...

Combustion engines only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a ...

A team of researchers from the Pennsylvania State University, USA has developed a prototype thermoelectric generator system ...

Researchers design and test a waste-heat recovery system, illustrated here, that attaches to a car tailpipe and converts heat from exhaust into energy. The fanned grooves on the outside of the pipe ...
