摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a device for converting heat energy into mechanical energy comprising a first (4) and a second (6) bistable area passing from a first stable state to a second stable state by means of a thermal effect or mechanical action, said areas (4, 6) being mechanically coupled such that the passage from one state to the other of one area (4, 6) by means of a thermal effect causes the other area (6,4) to pass from one state to the other, each area (4, 6) having a blistering temperature and an unblistering temperature, the blistering temperature being higher than the unblistering temperature. Said device is intended to be placed in contact with an environment (SC) having at least one given temperature, such that the temperature of the environment (SC) is lower than the blistering temperature of the first area (4) and is higher than the blistering temperature (Tc6) of the second area (6).</p> |
