    摘要: A steam engine has a fluid container, a heating device and a cooling device provided at the fluid container for heating and cooling working fluid filled in the fluid container, so that a part of the working fluid is heated and vaporized to move the liquid-phase working fluid in one direction. When the vaporized steam is cooled and liquidized, the pressure of the working fluid in the fluid container is decreased, to thereby move the liquid-phase working fluid in the backward direction. Kinetic energy is thereby generated by using the back and forth movement of the working fluid. The heating device has multiple through-holes, through which the working fluid flows and heated by a heating surface (an inner surface of the through-holes) of the heating device, wherein a diameter “d” of the through-hole is made almost equal to or smaller than a depth of heat penetration “δ”, which is determined by the following formula: δ=√{square root over (2a/ω)} wherein “a” is a heat diffusivity of the working fluid, and “ω” is an angular frequency of the working fluid during the working fluid is periodically moved back and forth.

    摘要: In a steam engine 1, an inner wall face 22a of a connecting tube portion 22 is entirely formed out of a water repellent finish face 22b. Accordingly, when liquid located in a portion close to a heater 30 in a vertical direction extending tube 12 is heated, boiled and liquefied, a liquid level of the liquid in the vertical direction extending tube 12 is pushed down from a top dead center Lu to a bottom dead center Lb. At this time, a quantity of liquid drops attached onto the inner wall face 22a of the connecting tube portion 22 can be reduced as compared with a case in which the entire inner wall face 22a of the connecting tube portion 22 is not formed out of a water repellent finish face 22b.

    摘要: A steam engine has a pipe shaped fluid container, a heating and cooling devices respectively provided at a heating and cooling portions of the fluid container, and an output device connected to the fluid container, so that the output device is operated by the fluid pressure change in the fluid container, to generate an electric power. In such a steam engine, the fluid pressure in the fluid container is adjusted such that the fluid pressure does not exceed a saturated vapor pressure at the operating temperature. As a result, unnecessary condensation and liquefaction of the steam due to the increased pressure higher than the saturated vapor pressure can be prevented, to improve performance of the steam engine.
