Description

EXISTING PROBLEMS

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 depletable, 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, pollution or wars.

In addition, many motors known to us work with large energy losses, which can usually be traced back to the high temperatures required for the operation of the motor (except: electric motor). Above all, however, the existing state of the art has not yet managed to use temperature differences and the associated volume changes of substances efficiently enough. Green energies go in the right direction of getting energy from pure nature, but there is a problem that these methods hardly meet the energy needs of mankind.

SOLUTION TO EXISTING PROBLEMS

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

2. 2. Erdwärme in Kombination mit der Lufttemperatur
3. 3. Grundwasser in Kombination mit der Luftwärme
4. 4. Meerestiefenwasser in Kombination mit dem Meeresoberflächenwasser
5. 5. Heiße Naturquellen in Kombination mit Flusswasser
6. 6. Konzentrierte Sonnenstrahlung und die damit einhergehende Wärme in Kombination mit der Umgebungstemperatur.

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

1. 1. The combination of the ambient temperature in summer days with an existing flow in the area
2. 2. Geothermal energy in combination with air temperature
3. 3. Groundwater in combination with air heat
4. 4. Deep sea water combined with sea 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 reaching a temperature difference and thus the operation of the engine.

HOW THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE MOTOR WORKS

The temperature difference engine uses the pressure difference from two different tanks (T1, T2) and the resulting expansion. The best substance for achieving large expansions or volume changes and thus also pressure changes are known to be gases. This is evident in the use of these in similar cases in the 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, at the same temperature, to create an equilibrium. For the operation of the engine, one of the tanks, for example T1, is basically 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. Simultaneously, the valves at points A1-6 and A2-7 must be open to release the inflow from E1-6 and E2-7. Externally supplied heated liquids or other flowable material, which through a spiral (3) (or other known heat exchanger systems) in the tank (example T1), efficiently adds a higher temperature to the entire tank. With the increased temperature in a tank, the gas present in a tank is also heated, which results in an increase in volume of the gas and thus also an increase in pressure. The other tank (example T2) cools down at the same moment. The cooling takes place by the same principle mentioned above. This cold liquid runs through a spiral (or other such systems) just like the warm liquid (or any other flowable substance). This cools the gas in the tank (T2) and thus reduces the pressure by reducing the volume of the gas. The resulting pressure difference causes the piston (K1, K2) to move. With propane, for example, small temperature differences are sufficient to achieve a large increase in pressure and, as described above, ultimately kinetic energy to be generated by the crankshaft (2). In addition to the crankshaft, electricity can be produced immediately by a linear generator (consisting of 8,9,10). In addition, all methods known in the prior art for converting 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 tank, which was previously heated and expanded, is cooled down again by the valve system. Again, the tank, which was previously cooled, is heated. As a result, the pistons and with them the crankshaft and ultimately the engine move. In the temperature difference engine, it is important to adjust the heating and cooling system in the tank so that there is rapid heat or cold flow and the heat or cold conductivity of the coils (3) inside the tank is high.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION

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