| 20120102948 | POWER GENERATION AND SPACE CONDITIONING USING A THERMODYNAMIC ENGINE DRIVEN THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL HEATING AND COOLING - A thermodynamic engine is configured to convert heat provided in the form of a temperature difference to a nonheat form of energy. Heat is directed through a heating loop in thermal contact with a first side of the thermodynamic engine. A second side of the thermodynamic engine is coupled to an environmental cooling loop in thermal contact with an environmental cooling device. The thermodynamic engine is operated to dispense heat from the second side of the thermodynamic engine through the environmental cooling loop into the environmental cooling device. Operation of the thermodynamic engine thereby generates the nonheat form of energy from the temperature difference established between the first side and the second side of the thermodynamic engine. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20090038307 | DIRECT CONTACT THERMAL EXCHANGE HEAT ENGINE OR HEAT PUMP - Systems and methods for operating a thermodynamic engine are disclosed. The systems and methods may effect cyclic motion of a working fluid between hot and cold regions of a thermodynamic engine and inject a dispersible material into the working fluid at the hot or cold region during a heat-addition or heat-rejection process. The system and methods may also evacuate the dispersible material from the hot or cold region. | 02-12-2009 |
