Future Electric Vehicle Range Extended Using Thermoelectrics.
Electric Vehicles have a small range due to limitations
in battery technology, the idea of generating electricity using the Seebeck effect seems novel, but Thermoelectrics may reign supreme in the distant future as humans seek to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

  • I admire anyone who is trying to fix this whole "energy problem", but I don't think you're getting all your facts straight.  Thermoelectrics may be cool, but are not as efficient as other methods of generating power. Further, your energy chain is too long:

    Nuclear->Electrolysis->Boiler-­>Thermoelectric Element

    It would be better to use:

    Nuclear->Eletrolysis->Hydrogen Fuel Cell

    Better still would be:

    Nuclear->New and improved batteries

    Even Better?

    Small Nuclear generator for cars.
