Description

EXISTING ISSUES

There are many different types of engines in the world. These convert chemical, mechanical, electrical or other energies into other energies that can be used in certain cases. External resources are required to operate these engines. For example, oil, gas, coal and other such degradable, consumable resources, which in most cases also have to be extracted, transported, refined and stored at great expense, which in turn leads to additional energy costs, resource consumption, environmental pollution or wars.

In addition, many motors we know of work with large energy losses, which can usually be attributed to the high temperatures required to operate the motor (with the exception of electric motors). Above all, however, according to the existing state of the art, it has not yet been possible to use temperature differences and the associated volume changes of substances efficiently enough. Green energies are moving in the right direction to obtain energy from pure nature, but the problem is that these methods are difficult to meet humanity's energy needs.

SOLVING EXISTING PROBLEMS

Basically, the temperature difference motor converts the temperature difference present in the environment

2. 2. Erdwärme in Kombination mit der Lufttemperatur

Temperature differences into kinetic energy. These temperature differences and therefore energies can come from air, water or earth. But also artificially generated by an attached heat pump, which uses the surplus. This use of excess energy from heat pumps can be of great importance in many cases. The energies are therefore converted directly on site into mechanical or kinetic energy. Examples of usage of temperature differences include:

1. 1. The combination of the ambient temperature in summer days with an existing river in the area
2. 2. Geothermal energy in combination with air temperature
3. 3. Groundwater in combination with air heat
4. 4. Ocean deep water in combination with the ocean surface water
5. 5. Hot natural springs combined with river water
6. 6. Concentrated solar radiation and the associated heat in combination with the ambient temperature.

And many other usage examples for achieving a temperature difference and thus the operation of the engine.

HOW THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL MOTOR WORKS

The temperature difference motor uses the pressure difference from two different tanks (T1, T2) and the resulting expansion. The best material for achieving large expansions or volume changes and thus also pressure changes is known to be gases. This becomes apparent when using these in similar cases in the known prior art.
Two tanks (T1, T2) that are spatially separated from each other by two pistons (K1, K2) and a crankshaft (2) or a linear electric generator (composed of 8,9,10) between the pistons ( ), are filled with gas (e.g. propane). When manufacturing the tanks, both tanks must be filled with the same gas pressure and at the same temperature to create equilibrium. To operate the engine, one of the tanks, for example T1, is heated through the open valve at point E1-6, while at the same time the other tank, for example T2, cools down through the open valve at point E2-7. Synchronously, the valves at points A1-6 and A2-7 must be open to release the inflow from E1-6 and E2-7. Through externally supplied heated liquids or other flowable material, which efficiently adds a higher temperature to the entire tank through a spiral (3) (or other known heat exchanger systems) in the tank (for example T1). With the increased temperature in a tank, the existing gas in a tank is also heated, which results in an increase in the volume of the gas and thus an increase in pressure. The other tank (for example T2) cools down at the same moment. Cooling occurs by the same principle mentioned above. This cold liquid, like the warm liquid (or other flowable substance), passes through a spiral (or other such systems). This cools the gas in the tank (T2) and thus reduces the pressure by reducing the volume of the gas. The resulting pressure difference leads to the movement of the piston (K1, K2). With propane, for example, small temperature differences are sufficient to achieve a large increase in pressure and, as described above, to ultimately generate kinetic energy through the crankshaft (2). Next to the crank wave, electricity can be produced immediately by a linear generator (consisting of 8,9,10). In addition, all methods known from the prior art to convert a linear movement into a rotation. The heating and cooling phases are controlled with valves (6,7), which are coupled to the crankshaft and can optionally also be controlled electrically. The valve system cools down the tank, which was previously heated and expanded. The tank, which was previously cooled, is heated again. This causes the pistons and with them the crankshaft and ultimately the engine to move. In the temperature difference motor, it is important to adapt the heating-cooling system in the tank so that there is a rapid flow of heat or cold and the heat or cold conductivity of the spirals (3) within the tank is high.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION

Useful natural energy sources can be found throughout the world, such as air, water, geothermal energy, the oceans, rivers and many others. All of these energy sources have infinite energy by our human standards. The temperature difference motor converts this energy into kinetic energy in order to operate machines or produce electrical power. The temperature difference motor gives you the chance of a very environmentally friendly and resource-saving energy source. The temperature differences required for engine operation can be found in large parts of the world. The world's dependence on energy resources can thus be almost completely eliminated.
