Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010034780A2] A heat engine (1000) comprises a first volume (100) designed to be alternately heated and cooled, a second volume (200) designed to be alternately heated and cooled, a working medium (10) contained in the first and second volume (100, 200), and a fluid conduit (400) via which the first volume (100) and the second volume (200) are interconnected. A machine (300) that can be operated using the working medium is connected to the fluid conduit (400) between the first volume and the second volume (200). The heat engine (1000) is designed such that the working medium (10) is heated in the first volume (100) while being cooled in the second volume (200) in a first state, and the working medium (10) is cooled in the first volume (100) while being heated in the second volume (200) in a second state.
