Abstract: A reciprocating thermal engine which converts heat energy into rotational mechanical motion by expansion and contraction of bimetallic elements. The bimetallic elements are cantilevered between a hot plate and a cold plate, and the bimetallic elements reciprocate due to alternate heating and cooling. This reciprocating motion is converted to rotational motion by means of cam followers acting on cam surfaces.

Abstract: A spaced wall container having an inner wall for containment of fuels, cryogenic liquids, and the like spaced from, and connected to, an outer structure by a plurality of tension members to create steady-state stabilizing forces on the outer structure by utilization of the radial and tangential stiffness of the pressurized inner wall. The tension members are spring-biased to ensure tension loading under all conditions. Insulation material is mounted on the tension members between the inner wall and outer structure. Protection against fluid leakage into the insulation material is afforded by a shield interposed between the inner wall and the insulation. The outer structure forms a protective enclosure for the inner wall container in addition to forming the external wall of a Dewar flask when the void between the spaced walls is evacuated.
