Embodiment Construction

[0041] figure 1 A schematic diagram of an engine 100 configured to extract energy from a heat source is shown, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The engine 100 includes a support 102, a shaft 104 rotatably coupled to the support 102, a plurality of containers 106 arranged around the shaft 104, a plurality of pipes 108 connecting the plurality of containers 106 together, a plurality of A valve 110, and a cylinder 112 to which the pipe 108 is secured. A cylinder 112 is secured to the shaft 104 and allows the wheel-like arrangement of the container 106 and conduit 108 to rotate in the first direction R. As shown in FIG. Shroud 113 surrounds the arrangement of vessel 106 and conduit 108 . The engine 100 includes a controller 150 that controls the operation of the engine 100 .

[0042] The support 102 is a frame or similar rigid structure secured to the base, eg a concrete channel 114 . The support 102 holds the engine above a heat source 116 , in this case...

Abstract

An engine is configured to generate power by extracting energy from a low temperature or pressure differential. A plurality of movable masses (e.g., fluid contained in and movable between vessels) is coupled to and arranged about a shaft. When subject to a pressure differential, mass moves to a higher vessel thereby increasing its potential energy and producing a gravitational moment that encourages rotation of the plurality of masses in the first direction. The pressure differential can be created by an increase in pressure that can be generated by exposing a substance (e.g., a volatile material) to heat.

Description

[0001] References to related applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 486,273, filed May 14, 2011, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments described herein relate to energy extraction from low temperature differential sources, and more particularly, to systems, devices, and methods for generating energy from low temperature differential sources. Background technique [0004] It is often inefficient or impractical to extract energy from low-temperature differential sources (eg, through solar, geothermal, or industrial processes) and convert this energy to rotational or other forms of energy. [0005] Many attempts have been made to provide devices that more practically perform energy extraction. For example, Gould (US Patent No. 4,570,444) describes a solar motor with a wheel-shaped rotor with a rim divided into hollow compartments. The rotor is designed to ...
