摘要： A six-stroke cycle engine burns an air-fuel charge for a first power stroke, the exhaust gases being directed to a heat regenerator located in a vapor heating chamber. A second power stroke is produced by injecting fluid directly into the heat regenerator, for generating a second power stroke with the expanded vapor, using the same engine reciprocating mechanism.

摘要： A room temperature heat engine, wherein only one pipe structure for connecting a high pressure part to a low pressure part, which is a fatal structural defect of the room temperature heat engine for decorative toys (water drinking bird, peace bird) which merely produces a weak and small mechanical energy, is improved so as to produce much powerful mechanical energy for practical use of the engine, no energy source being required because the energy used for power generation is a beat obtained from the atmospheric temperature, the high and low temperature parts are connected to each other through at least two pipes, the high temperature and low temperature parts are formed in a stationary large-sized structure, two pipes are used exclusively for a gas-only pipe and a liquid-only pipe, and a turbine wheel is installed in the fluid-only pipe so as to turn the waterwheel under a fluid flow from the low temperature part for power generation.

摘要： A method for optimally operating co-generation of electricity and heat in which the district heating power range is divided to a lower range and a higher range is characterized in that base load electricity and regulation electricity are produced with a steam turbine operating like a condensing turbine; the lower heating power range (B) is produced mainly by heat pumps using the energy of the exhaust steam of the turbine as an energy source; peak-load power and wintertime regulation electricity are produced with a peak-load engine; and the higher heating power range (A3, A4) is produced partially by heat pumps using said energy as the energy source and partially by the exhaust gas heat of said peak-load engine. Both the electricity and the heat are produced with a remarkably higher fuel utilization rate and significantly more electricity in relation to heat is produced than with conventional district heating power plants. The invention concerns also an optimally operating district heating power plant realizing the above method. At the initial stage of the operation of the district heating power plant, the district heating load being partial, a bigger amount of electricity may be produced of a fuel unit than at the final stage of the operation with a full district heating load. Extra peak power at short notice may be produced with the peak-load engine with a better fuel utilization rate than with the previously known solutions.

摘要： A system generates energy using the difference in elevation between an upper elevation (e.g., at the top of a mountain) and a lower one (e.g., at or near the bottom of the mountain.) The system includes a compressor located at the upper location which supplies compressed gas through a conduit to a mixing chamber at the lower elevation. A plurality of turbine-generator sets are located at different elevations along the conduit for extracting energy from the compressed gas. A control unit connected to the conduit supplies pulses of the compressed gas to the mixing chamber for mixing with mercury to produce a mercury-gas mixture. An injector injects pulses of the mercury-gas mixture into a turbine so as to impact against the turbine blades and drive the turbine.

摘要： A method and apparatus for converting natural heat energy into another form of energy is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) exposing one end of a superconductor body to a source of natural heat energy; (b) inserting another end of the superconductor body into a tank of a steam boiler that holds water therein such that the natural heat energy is transmitted by the superconductor body to the water held in the tank of the steam boiler so as to convert the water into steam; (c) providing the steam from the steam boiler to a steam turbine to produce a mechanical rotary motion; and (d) converting the mechanical rotary motion into electrical energy via use of an electric power generator that is coupled to the steam turbine.

摘要： An apparatus for converting thermal energy to mechanical motion including a frame mounted onto an axle above a heat source. A flow circuit including at least three elongate chambers connected by fluid conduits is mounted onto the frame, and one-way valves provided in the flow circuit permit one-way fluid flow within the flow circuit. The heat source heats a motive fluid contained within the chambers beyond its boiling point, which increases the vapor pressure within the heated chamber, thereby forcing fluid out of the chamber and into the chamber immediately downstream in the flow circuit. The increased weight of the downstream chamber creates a torque about the axle, rotating the frame in an upstream direction.
