An installation and a method for the production of energy which utilize a source of heat or natural thermic differences are described. A first container contains a fluid in the liquid state and is capable of transmitting the heat to the fluid, a second container being used for holding the fluid after completion of the thermodynamic cycle and after it has returned to the liquid state, the second container being at a temperature lower than the temperature which prevails in the first container. Conduit means for connecting the first and second container are provided. The fluid has a low boiling point and is capable of undergoing a change from the liquid to gaseous state. A turbine or equivalent device is provided to utilize the kinetic energy of the fluid and transform this energy into mechanical energy; the fluid is converted from the liquid to the gaseous state upon entry into this device and returns to the liquid state in the interior of the second container. The operation may be reversed with the second container being exposed to the source of heat.
