It even says in the article 40 watts. I’m not going to say this affects literally nothing, but it is not a significant enough amount of power to meaningfully affect the locomotion of a car. It might make more sense in much more scaled up helicopters and planes where fuel economy is a far bigger problem. But thermoelectric has never been a very potent method.

Fools logic was meaning this type of technology doesn’t have a purpose when it definitely does and that is how your post came off lack of context I guess, it is the internet.
While it won’t power the locomotion of the car it will help to power accessories even on a 40w basis even more so over trips and somewhat lengthy drives.
Your post lacked any of your clarifications so it comes off as you simply think this is an ignorant waste of time concept as a whole. Energy recovery is a useful premise.
But making micro machines to do it, or retrofitting old cars with this wouldnt help much but manufacturing newer more effecient vehicles isn’t a viable strategy like the guy explains above you. There’s other uses besides moving a vehicle. There’s other fields and applications this could be used for having nothing to do with configuration. All I was saying was that this tech has viability.
