Use the seebeck effect to replace the battery.

Heat from the engine + use the cars' hood as a heat sink!

then while you drive, the cool air will cool the top of your hood and thus create electricity.

Peltiers are relitively light weight and the whole thing could be done for about $200.

I'm already baking this... But share your thought with me pls.

Thx

       I suggest that you re-name this idea - as your sub-title acknowledges, it's the Seebeck effect that you're using; the Peltier effect generates a thermal differential from an applied voltage.
