Default Crazy idea but...crazy enough to work?

Narrowband 1-wire o2 sensors can generate 0-1 volts depending on the oxygen content of exhaust gas.

What if you put, say a few hundred of these in an exhaust pipe, would it generate any power worth a crap?

the amprage would be so shitty I dont even think it would matter. You could run your exaust through a boiler tank and have the tank hooked to a steam turbine generator and use a second radiator to disapate the heat generated in the system and loop it back to your boiler. but i think the alternator is more than enough :P

and what purpose are you trying to serve with your hallucination that you're going to install 300 o2 sensors into your car?
