A heated solid metal object 1 which may be made of iron or aluminium or copper may have an internal chamber 2 with an inlet 3 and an outlet 4 to enable a working fluid 5 to pass through and be heated in the chamber. The heated fluid then flows through the outlet and can then drive a turbine 6 to power an electrical generator 7 and the expanded fluid can then be used as a low grade heat source for cryogenic generators or be used to heat buildings 8. The fluid may be heated electrically 9 along with the solid object 10. The fluid may flow to the solid object by means of a pump 11. The solid object and the fluid store may be insulated. The fluid may be water. |
