Abstract :
The authors considered the possibility of the conversion of ordinary temperature thermal energy into mechanical form. This conversion system makes the environment free from thermal, chemical and radioactive pollution problems. Although thermal energy conversion efficiency is less than several times that of conventional steam turbines the fuel itself will be obtained virtually free and unlimited.
