Abstract:  With efforts targeted to harness energy from various sources, we are tending to get diverted from the available sources and hence reap maximum energy from the extant sources. Automobile exhaust- being one of them.Pyro-electricity helps us reap out some amount of energy from vehicular exhaust and helps in generating a few µW of energy which can be directed towards charging of batteries while you ride your vehicle. It is a convenient and a smart way to employ Pyro-electricity to charge batteries on a go. Especially when charging ports might not be available easily during travelling this will provide a better solution in these cases. In this paper we suggest the application of the already established concepts of pyro-electricity for energy scavenging form waste automobile gases using fundamentals of micro-heat engine principles.
