running vehicle alternator by using exhaust gas stream

Abstract

The emitted exhaust gas from an engine is a lost power, it can be used to generate electrical power for a vehicle, upon demand, the exhaust gas can power a turbine which in turn will drive an alternator to generate electricity for the vehicles electrical loads , and consequently reduce the load on the engine. The basic principle of the system is to utilize the high pressure of the exhaust gases that is directed through a nozzle which increases the velocity of these gases. This high gas velocity is impinging the turbin rotor which rotates at high speed, this rotor is connected to alternator shaft via a V-belt which used to transmit the power of the running turbine to the alternator. The turbine shaft and the V-bilt are designed to transmit a maximum power produced from the VGT turbocharger without any problems . The power produced from the turbine is measured at different engine speeds. This power is not enough to run the alternator and to produce needed electric current to supply all vehicle electric loads. The power produced can be used as assistant to the power source in the vehicle.
