Nowadays in automobile field many new innovating concepts are being developed. We are using the power from vehicle exhaust to generate the electricity which can be stored in battery for the later consumption. In this project, we are demonstrating a concept of generating power in a stationary single cylinder diesel engine by the usage of turbines. Here we are placing a turbine in the path of exhaust in the silencer. An engine is also placed in the chassis of the vehicle. The turbine is connected to a dynamo, which is used to generate power. Depending upon the airflow the turbine will start rotating, and then the dynamo will also start to rotate. A dynamo is a device which is used to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The generated power is stored to the battery. It can be stored in the battery after rectification. The rectified voltage can be inverted and can be used in various forms of utilities.

INTRODUCTION In recent years the scientific and public awareness on environmental and energy issues has brought in major interests to the research of advanced technologies particularly in highly efficient internal combustion engines. Viewing from the socioeconomic perspective, as the level of energy consumption is directly proportional to the economic development and total number of population in a country, the growing rate of population in the world today indicates that the energy demand is likely to increase. Substantial thermal energy is available from the exhaust gas in modern automotive engines. Two-thirds of the energy from combustion in a vehicle is lost as waste heat, of which 40% is in the form of hot exhaust gas. The latest developments and technologies on waste heat recovery of exhaust gas from internal combustion engines (ICE). These include thermoelectric generators (TEG), Organic Rankin cycle (ORC), six-stroke cycle IC engine and new developments on turbocharger technology. Being one of the promising new devices for an automotive waste heat recovery, thermoelectric generators (TEG) will become one of the most important and outstanding devices in the future. A thermoelectric power generator is a solid state device that provides direct energy conversion from thermal energy (heat) due to a temperature gradient into electrical energy based on “See beck effect”. The thermoelectric power cycle, charge carriers (electrons) serving as the working fluid, follows the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and intimately resembles the power cycle of a conventional heat engine. One potential solution is the usage of the exhaust waste heat of combustion engines. This is possible by the waste heat recovery using thermoelectric generator. Thermoelectric generator converts the temperature gradient into useful voltage that can used for providing power for auxiliary systems such as air conditioner and minor car electronics. Even it can reduce the size of the alternator that consumes shaft power. If approximately 6% of exhaust heat could be converted into electrical power, it will save approximately same quantity of driving energy. It will be possible to reduce fuel also. For example, the heat of the car's exhaust can be used to warm the engine coolant to keep the engine running warm, even when the motor has been turned off for a significant length of time. A vehicle's exhaust can actually be used to generate electricity. Although these technologies can be used in any car, truck or SUV with an internal combustion engine, they're particularly important to hybrid vehicles, which need to produce maximum fuel efficiency.
