ABSTRACT:
Magnetic heat engines directly converting heat to electricity, using emf induced by demagnetization. Generated power manifests as negative resistance, and almost any kind and shape of magnetic medium can be used. Electromagnetic engines are also tolerant to non-uniform heating, inherently non-contact and non-mechanical, easy to model and design, and operable at high frequencies. The engines are suitable for augmenting local heating, refrigeration without fluid refrigerants, efficient cooling of cryogenic components, synchronous cooling of digital circuits, completely solid-state power generation, and improvement of power plant efficiency and control.
