The invention relates to a heat engine for producing an electrical current or mechanical output by actuating a piston (2, 20) by means of hot gas, said gas being under pressure in a cylinder chamber (11, 12; 101, 102, 103) of a cylinder (1; 10) and heat being externally applied to the gas by means of a heat supply, said heat being applied to the hot gas by injecting or spraying a hot and particularly liquid or condensable heat transfer medium into each cylinder chamber. Said used heat transfer medium is collected in a base region of the cylinder chamber and is drained into a collection chamber. |
