Heat wasting needs to be rooted out and stomped on! Actually, there's a great deal of heat wasted through the engine block. They should really find a way to avoid absorbing the heat generated inside the cylinder, by lining it with some highly non-conductive material. That heat and mechanical energy saved would be used by the piston, turbochargers and whatever exhaust-heat converting gizmo they're thinking of. Btw, some interesting links below regarding thermoelectric junk: http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2008/07/material-may-help-autos-turn-heat-into-electricity-53145 http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13545-nanomaterial-turns-radiation-directly-into-electricity.html?feedId=energy-fuels_rss20 Well, interesting to me, anyway.

Waisted energy has gone waisted for far too long. This seems like the most logical way to use exhaust gas heat. Oh oh... BMW is pioneering again... what will the masses say? “I firmly believe that when you look at this technology in 20 years, this will be the key issue that will replace everything else,”

I believe that! Waisted energy has gone waisted for far too long. This seems like the most logical way to use exhaust gas heat.
