摘要： A thermal energy is converted into a mechanical energy by a thermal converter (21) including a phase change material whose phase changes between solid and liquid by a temperature change, so that good thermal conductivity can be secured within a normal operating temperature range since the phase change material of the thermal converter (21) does not become a gas and sufficient mechanical energy can be obtained in decreasing an ambient temperature, thereby enhancing conversion efficiency thereof. Further, since an inside of a case (22) is not required to be at a high pressure, the case (22) can be easily manufactured and a compressing means such as a strong spring is not required, thus reducing a size of whole device (1).
