FIELD: engines and pumps.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive industry. Electric power generator (1) exploits the heat of off-gas formed in ICE operation and comprises generator (3) with off-gas inlet pipe (4) and exhaust pipe (5). This device has heat exchange section (6) with heat exchanger (10) incorporating thermoelectric element (11) and cooler (12) locked with the latter. Heat exchange section (6) has multiple off-gas passages (9) directed across inlet pipe (4) and communicated with several heat exchangers (10). At least one part of the latter incorporates, at least, one thermoelectric element (11) and at least one cooler (12). Off-gas passages (9) and thermoelectric elements (11) are directed radially. Invention covers also the vehicle incorporating aforesaid electric power generator.
EFFECT: higher rate of heat power conversion into electric power.
