Convert Unwanted Exhaust Heat into Useful Energy Posted: 13 Jun 2011 03:02 AM PDT   Image From   We have heard of a lot of approaches where the heat and unwanted stuffs from vehicles and factories are converted to useful energy. But, there has not been a well defined system till now that is able to convert all these wasted heat into useful energy with high efficiency rates. The earlier attempts were able to produce efficiency rates only from 15 to 20%. A new prototype has been developed by the engineers at the Oregon State University called the "Thermally Activated Cooling System" that can not only capture and convert a part of the heat for cooling purposes but can also produce electricity out of them. With this technology, all types of low to medium grade wasted heat that comes out of exhaust pipes of millions of factories and also from generators, automobiles can be converted into useful energy. Some of the main advantages of this method when compared to other methods are given below. It requires very less initial and managing costs Capable of producing a higher efficiency rate than the conventional ones. Can be used for a wide sense of applications according to the energy needs. When compared to the conventional system, this...
