For a uni project one of my concepts is to use thermo couple generators like these http://www.thermoelectricgenerator.co.uk/TEGinstallationandspecifications01.pdf on the exhaust to generate electricity to replace the alternator. The problem is i can't figure out how much current and voltage is required. The system will be in use on a huqurvana 610 e powered formula student car with a varley redtop 8 battery that is 12v 8Ah. The mains charger designed for the battery is 12v 2.7A so do i just match that or will it need more as its being drained at the same time? If that is all it needs itd only take 2 of those modules connected in series assuming the temp difference was 300C wouldn't it? Sorry I am useless at electronics.
Thanks
