As reviewed in the Thermoelectric Materials section, Clean Currents harnesses a lot of energy lost in the Internal Combustion Engine. However, due to current technology, Clean Currents does not convert enough energy to power the drivetrain of a vehicle. Rather, Clean Currents utilizes this energy to power electrical components of the car. Below, are three examples to where harnessed lost energy is used to power.
1: Car External LightsThis includes the headlights and brake lights. Clean Currents can harness enough energy to power a majority of the types of lights. Clean Currents can't support some headlights and most high beam lights however.

2: DashboardAnother electrical component is the dashboard. Clean Currents can power the dashboard lights only when the engine is active. Clean Currents also provides energy to power both the air conditioning and the audio systems.

3: External FeaturesClean Currents can consistently provide ample energy to power windshield wipers and other low-power external features cars may have. Like many of the other features, the engine must be running for Clean Currents to power the external features.

4: Car BatteryIn the case where there is energy that is left over, the rest of the electricity will be used to power the car's battery. For this reason, Clean Currents can replace the alternator in an automobile. The alternator has the same job and can be removed.
