Abstract :Gases occurred at the end of combustion based on fossil fuels are thrown by means of chimney through the atmosphere because of negative pressure. The height of chimneys and temperature of the combusting gases seem as significant  parameters in the case of thrown gases. Recovery heat energy thrown from the chimneys is aimed using the Method of Thermoelectric Converter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TEC); in terms of electrical energy in this work. For this purpose, a model based on a thermoelectric converting system was thought and a related prototype was developed. In the model, the energy converting system was mounted just on the chimney in order not to affect flow of the gases. It was concerned that the energy thrown from the chimney as a lost energy would be recovered by a converting system in terms of electrical energy in some quantity. The experimental data based on the prototype was obtained related to the waste energy recovery.
