Abstract

The invention relates to a method for converting thermal energy into a non-thermal energy form. In order to achieve a conversion without using caloric energy sources, according to the invention a region (2) comprising a temperature gradient having a cold first position (P1) and a warm second position (P2) is used to cool down an environment to obtain non-thermal energy. The invention further relates to a system (1) for converting thermal energy into a non-thermal energy form. In order to carry out a conversion in a limited space, according to the invention a device (3) for forming a temperature gradient in a region (2) between a first position (P1) and a second position (P2) and a device (4) for converting thermal energy into a non-thermal energy form using the temperature gradient are provided. The invention further relates to a use of such a system (1).
