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 to another useful form of energy, such as electricity or mechanical work using a thermodynamic cycle in which a working fluid medium may be expanded in a constant pressure environment to move a storage medium comprising another fluid, slurry or mass to a higher potential energy level, from which the storage medium may be released through a generator or the like to produce another form of energy.
