Systems and methods to efficiently utilize thermal energy such as solar energy, geothermal energy, waste-heat energy, bio-mass combustion energy, or other equivalent forms of energy, convert the thermal energy (120) to another useful form of energy, such as electricity or mechanical work using a thermodynamic cycle in which a working fluid medium (126) may be expanded in a constant pressure environment (130) to move a storage medium (129) comprising another fluid, slurry or mass to a higher potential energy level (110), from which the storage medium may be released through a generator (1 12) or the like to produce another form of energy. |
