    摘要: A heat-driven engine includes a thermally conductive path into the engine, from a heat source and a working medium of a thermostrictive material, having a first temperature of transformation, positioned adjacent to the thermally conductive path. Also, a heat pump of phase change material is positioned adjacent to the working medium and an actuator is controlled to apply stimulus to the heat pump, causing a phase change and an associated release of thermal energy, to drive the working medium above its low-to-high temperature of transformation and controlled to alternatingly remove the stimulus from the heat pump, causing the phase change to reverse, and an associated intake of thermal energy, to drive the working medium below its high-to-low temperature of transformation. Also, heat flow through the thermally conductive path maintains the working medium at a temperature range permitting the heat pump to drive the working medium temperature, in the manner noted.

    摘要: A heat energy conversion apparatus having a heat exchanger into which a heating fluid is introduced and an inlet and an outlet for a gaseous second fluid that is to be heated and pressurized by heat transfer from the heating fluid. The heat exchanger outlet is connected to the inlet of a gas motor, and the heat exchanger inlet is connected to the outlet of a gas pump driven by the gas motor. The gas motor removes the heated gaseous second fluid from the heat exchanger at a higher volumetric flow rate than the pump delivers the gaseous second fluid in its unheated state into the heat exchanger.

    摘要: An improved two stroke, reciprocating, internal combustion engine, with multiple cylinders, each closed by a cylinder head and containing a power piston which is connected to a power output shaft. Each cylinder has means for the intake of working fluid and a cooler for the compressed air. It also contains a displacer that moves between the cylinder head and the power piston. This displacer contains one way flow valving, a means for the exhausting of the working fluid from the cylinder, a movable alternating flow heat exchanger used as a regenerator, a heat shield, and a means to bypass the regenerator. The linkage from the power output shaft to move the displacer contains a spring and damper arrangement that allows the compression and expansion ratios to be varied.

    摘要: An expansion engine incorporates various structural features in which all cold seals are stationary, and only warm seals move. Moving parts which are subject to cryogenic temperatures are designed with gas bearings, while tight tolerances and material choices inhibit wear and steady state heat loss. Numerous other features include structural design to relieve stresses, combined fabrication of key parts, initial bias of the inlet and outlet valves which contract on cooldown to desired alignment, and a gas-purged upper seal housing, eliminate various sources of expansion engine failure and heat loss during operation and result in high reliability and thermal efficiency.
