ABSTRACT:
The motion produced by a temperature change in a bimetallic element is used as a source of mechanical work energy in a way similar to the way that the bimetallic strip operates in a thermostat but in this thermal engine an array of massive bimetallic strips is repeatedly, alternately heated and cooled by a draft of air which draws first heated air and then cooled air over the bimetallic elements to thereby provide a continuous reciprocating action. In the principal embodiment the required draft is provided by a solar heated convection column which by means of valving draws air first from a solar collector and then from a cooling duct.
