Abstract
The main aim of this project is to maximize the use of waste heat energy. The objective of this project is to detect higher heat emitting objects or surfaces and extract wasted heat energy from that very particular area and convert it into useful energy, such as electrical energy. Like a radar system, the autonomous vehicle keeps rotating until it locks under a threshold value of temperature. The servo motors help the robot to rotate 360 degrees. It uses non-contact thermometer sensor to detect the presence of heat emitting objects or surfaces. The robot will keep moving towards the object, until it reaches the pre-set highest temperature. Once it reaches its destination, with the help of thermoelectric generations, it absorbs heat from that very particular area or radius and converts the unwanted wasted heat energy into electrical energy.
