<p>A heat-engine, to operate by means of a heat source liquid of low thermal gradient (10-12oC) contained within the tank (1) providing the input energy needed to increase the temperature of a specific working fluid, contained within clusters (4) of the rotating copperpipe system (2), to its critical point. Optimum expansion at that temperature causes some of the working fluid to be expelled from the clusters and directed onto the turbine (9), via the governing cylinder (5), the directional valves (6), and through the tubular axle compartment (3), thereby converting the given heat energy into usable mechanical energy. The descending clusters emit the previously absorbed heat to the upper layers of the source liquid, whilst the expelled working fluid returns to the bottom cluster from the turbine housing.</p> |
