A heat to kinetic energy converter comprises a vessel including two chambers 'A' and 'B', where each chamber contains a gas and a liquid moveable from one chamber to the other, such that thermal expansion of the gas in a first chamber causes liquid to be moved to a second chamber, the resulting liquid mass imbalance causing the vessel to turn about an axis. The converter may use solar heat, or any other source of heat. In use, liquid is uplifted by the gas expanding in the first chamber which forces the liquid into the second elevated chamber, where the imbalance caused by the weight of the liquid on the rotary structure induces rotary movement. The vessel may be made from a transparent material to allow heat to penetrate the structure. Preferably, the gas comprises a mixture of air and gas 'AG' and the liquid is water. The rotary movement of the converter may be transmitted to an axel to drive an electrical generator or other equipment or machinery. |
