ABSTRACT:
A thermal-mechanical energy converting device including a fixed cylinder, a frame mounted to co-axially rotate about the fixed cylinder, at least one wheel rotatably support on the frame, and endless transmission elements of a material having a memory effect capable in the bending mode of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy when heated from a temperature below its transition temperature to a temperature above its transition temperature. The transmission elements serve to drive the wheel and the frame about the cylinder upon the application of thermal energy to the transmission elements. This is accomplished by supplying the thermal energy to the cylinder. The thermal energy is transferred from the cylinder to the transmission elements over at least a major portion of the circumferential contact therewith.
