An adiabatic compressor C delivers air - or any other practically perfect gas - through a heat exchanger 2, 3 where it gives up its compression heat, into a reservoir 4, from which it actuates a motor D, recovering its elastic energy by isothermal pressure reduction at ambient temperature T0. The cycle obtained, in the form of a curved triangle, has the property of taking heat from the cold source with a performance coefficient which is greater than the inverse of the Carnot efficiency between the two extreme temperatures T and T0. It then becomes possible to couple this heat pump to a prime mover, of which it constitutes the hot source, and to obtain the conversion into mechanical energy of the internal heat of a natural element taking the place of the cold source. <IMAGE>
