<p>Power plant and processes for converting gas expanding energy sources into useful forms. A piston (13, 13a, 13c, 13d and 13e) containing a magnet (38) and able to free fall within an enclosed cylinder (12, 12a, 12c, 12d and 12e), having a center portion (15) surrounded by an induction coil (19) is repeatedly impelled upwards, thereby inducing an alternating electric current in the coil (19). In a preferred mode, a mixture of fuel and air is ignited beneath the piston (13), and in response to the piston's upward motion, compressed air is pumped into a reservoir (14). In a first alternative mode, fuel is ignited at both ends of the cylinder, in a second, the heat of concentrated solar energy is directed onto a liquid (47) in the bottom of the cylinder (12c), in a third, hydrogen is burned below the piston (13d) to create heat which vaporizes water, and in a fourth, hydrogen is burned at both ends of the cylinder (12e).</p> |
