A solar power plant having a means for collecting solar heat and a means for applying the heat so collected to a selected portion of a plurality of expansile-contractile members movably mounted between two wheels set at a desired angle on to the other, said wheels being rotatably mounted upon a frame. Heating or cooling a member causes either expansion or contraction of the member with a resultant linear force being developed between corresponding points on said wheels; said linear force being translated into rotational force as the wheels rotate in such direction as to relieve the linear force. Successive heating and cooling of said members enables continuous rotation of the wheels and a resultant work output. A power take-off unit is provided.
