For example, the combustion engine of a car is, even now, terribly inefficient &#8211; so much energy is lost as waste heat rather than being used for mechanical work.<\/p>\n<p>Another example is the incandescent light bulb, currently being phased out in many countries. Around 90% of the electricity consumed by an incandescent light bulb is emitted as heat.<\/p>\n<p>New technology is also being developed at Oregon State University to capture and use waste heat from cars and diesel generators. The &#8220;thermally activated cooling system&#8221; prototype is converting 80 percent of every kilowatt of waste heat into a kilowatt of cooling capability. With air-conditioning systems in vehicles stealing from a vehicle&#8217;s power (and therefore gas), such a system might not only help address the heat issue, but crude oil consumption as well.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about Oregon State University&#8217;s efforts in <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/oregonstate.edu\/ua\/ncs\/archives\/2011\/jun\/prototype-demonstrates-success-advanced-new-energy-technology\" target=\"_blank\">putting waste heat to work here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenlivingtips.com\/blogs\/608\/Putting-Waste-Heat-To-Use.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read about Putting Waste Heat to Use at Green Living Tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Green Living Tips When we think of waste, what usually springs to mind is tangible waste &#8211; but one of the biggest waste products of our society is heat.
