Patent ReferencesAutomotive system Thermo-electric power plant with asymmetric exhaust system Patent #: 5857336 InventorApplicationNo. 525795 filed on 03/15/2000US Classes:60/597, FLUID MOTOR MEANS DRIVEN BY WASTE HEAT OR BY EXHAUST ENERGY FROM INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE60/624Fluid motor means is a turbine with output means mechanically interconnected with internal combustion engine outputExaminersPrimary: Nguyen, HoangAttorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassF02G 001/00AbstractA manifold alternator generator including a turbine located proximal to a flow of exhaust gases in an internal combustion engine where the exhaust gases energize the turbine and produce rotation of an output shaft. The output shaft is connected to a rotor that is engaged with a generator such that the rotation of the turbine and output shaft generates electrical power. The manifold alternator generator may be used in combination with electromagnetic valve actuators and a flywheel alternator/starter. A processor may be used to optimize the performance of the manifold alternator generator and other system components.Other References
