Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a generator for an internal combustion engine. The generator for an internal combustion engine includes: a heat protector configured to cover an exhaust manifold in which exhaust gas flows to absorb heat energy emitted from the exhaust manifold; and a thermoelectric module configured to be disposed on the heat protector to generate electric energy from heat energy absorbed by the heat protector.
