Patent ID: 6938422

Claim:
An ambient energy fuel mechanical and electric power generating system comprising: a) a closed working fluid cycle that absorbs energy from an ambient energy source including air in the environment, in a heat absorption process using refrigerant as a working fluid, and transfers said energy to a power extracting means of a predetermined capacity for generating electricity, said power extracting means including an energy storing means; b) means for absorbing energy Qa from said ambient energy from the environment, and for transferring a predetermined amount of energy from the ambient energy reservoir to the refrigerant; c) means for compressing said refrigerant by an energy Qc for increasing the pressure of the refrigerant to a predetermined pressure, for connecting and maintaining the pressure difference between said energy absorbing/transferring means and the compressing means; d) a working fluid reservoir, insulated to prevent energy loss, for connecting said compressing means to said energy extracting means; e) means for controlling the predetermined pressure difference between high and low pressure portions of the cycle; f) said power extracting means extracting an amount of energy greater than 105% of the compressing energy Qc after the cycle is operated so that the refrigerant is circulated from said high pressure portion to said low pressure portion of the cycle.
