Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03026109A2] A power conversion method wherein solar power,thermal power or radiation energy is directly fed to the evaporator of a heat pipe by means of a focusing system or a radiation conductor and is converted into the power of the working gas of the heat pipe as a result of the absorption thereof by the working fluid of said heat pipe. The power of the movement of the gas of the heat pipe is converted into other non-thermal power types, finally into electric power inter alia. Power conversion into other non thermal power types occurs inside the heat tube in a transport zone thereof, whereupon said power is discharged from the inner part of the heat tube in a non thermal form. The solar, thermal power or radiation energy in the evaporator is simultaneously guided to the entire working body i.e. simultaneously guided to the large, broadly developed surface.
