We know that car engines lose a lot of energy in the form of heat. We also know that grilling -- especially with charcoal -- releases harmful pollution into the atmosphere. When you put these two problems together in a room full of the world's brightest and most inventive minds, you get the Exhaustburger! Sounds appetizing right?

Reclaim the heat lost through your car's tailpipe and use it to cook a good ol' fashioned hamburger. The device plugs straight into your tailpipe, collecting the heat to cook your meat, as the exhaust fumes pass right through. The clamshell design supposedly keeps your patty safe from the hazardous gases, but I'm not sure your cheeseburger won't end up with a little of that flavorful smoggy goodness.

The Exhaustburger was submitted into Designboom's 'Dining in 2015' design competition, which sought out futuristic kitchen and cooking tools. The Iranian team that came up with the Exhaustburger might have just changed the way we grill forever -- just imagine what you could do with dual exhaust!
