Proposed low-temperature solar engine

Abstract

Engine, proposed for conversion of Sun's heat to motion without need for heat pumps and associated equipment, uses expansion and contraction of aluminum rod to drive tow out-of-phase windlasses. Linear displacement of 0.076 cm in rod will exert sufficient force to drive pumps, generators, and compressors.
