<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal engine having superior efficiency of power in which working fluid is heated and vaporized, the energy of vaporized steam is taken out as mechanical energy, and thereafter steam is condensed and returned. <P>SOLUTION: A working fluid 14 supplied from a liquid storing section 111 is vaporized by heat supplied from an outside heat source 3 in a vaporizing section 112 and an energy of steam generated in the vaporizing section 112 is converted to a mechanical energy and taken out in an output section 12. The steam passing through an output part 12 is condensed in a condensing section 13 and the condensed working fluid 14 is returned to the liquid storing section 111. The working fluid 14 in the liquid storing section 111 is sucked by the capillary force of a cylindrical member 16 for introducing the working fluid formed into a cylindrical shape and is guided to the vaporizing section 112. The liquid storing section 111 is formed outside of the cylindrical member 16 for introducing the working fluid and the vaporizing section 112 is formed inside of the cylindrical member 16 for introducing the working fluid. A member 20 for vaporizing the working fluid sucking the working fluid 14 reaching the vaporizing section 112 side of the cylindrical member 16 for introducing the working fluid by capillary force weaker than the capillary force of the cylindrical member 16 for introducing the working fluid and vaporizing the same with the supplied heat from the outside heat source 3 is arranged in the vaporizing section 112 side site. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
