NEW FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISM FOR AN ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICE

Abstract

This report summarizes the theoretical and experimental studies conducted on a hot gas motor, a fundamentally new mechanism, as an energy conversion device. In the theoretical study, the relationship of the working components was determined and optimized for maximum conversion of fluid potential and kinetic energy into useful mechanical work. A test model of the hot gas motor was fabricated and a limited series of test runs was conducted, using both cold and hot gas. This report also presents a design discussion, a vector analysis, and test data of this novel motor.
