ABSTRACT:
A power generator utilizing the full volumetric expansion of water upon its change from the liquid phase to the solid phase (ice). The generator includes a chamber having heat transmitting, fluid impervious, flexible walls. The chamber is filled with water. A pressure-containing housing has an internal cavity in which the chamber is located in spaced relation to the housing. The space between the housing and the flexible walls of the chamber is filled with a fluid which is circulated through the cavity. A conduit connected to the housing provides flow communication between the cavity and means for utilizing moving fluid, such as a fluid driven motor. The phase of the water in the chamber is changed from liquid to solid so that the water expands in volume. Expansion of the water expands the flexible walls of the chamber to displace a proportional amount of fluid from the housing through the conduit, the moving displaced fluid serving as a power medium to drive the motor to do work.
