<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat engine applying a magnetic characteristic of a metal temperature-sensitive magnetic material.SOLUTION: In a heat engine, metal temperature-sensitive magnet material thin plates having a predetermined dimension are arranged at proper intervals in a circular shape to form a magnetic material rotor 1 which is supported by a rotation body 6, a magnet 2 is fixed to a proper pedestal base in the vicinity of a circumferential surface or a lateral face of the magnetic material rotor 1 to make a magnetic field, the magnetic material rotor 1 is passed through the magnetic field while keeping temperature of the magnetic material rotor 1 under a Curie temperature of the metal temperature-sensitive magnetic material thin plate by using cooling means 3, and then a predetermined region of the magnetic material rotor 1 in the magnetic field is heated to a temperature that is the Curie temperature of the metal temperature-sensitive magnetic material thin plate or more by using heating means 4 to obtain rotational movement. The heated region of the magnetic material rotor 1 is cooled below the Curie temperature after being separated from the magnetic field.</p> |
