Patent ID: 8408000

Claim:
A pendular thermodynamic conversion device comprising a main chamber closed at one end, a piston slidably mounted in the main chamber, a second sealed chamber, a flywheel rotatably mounted in the second chamber, a conduit connecting the main chamber and the second chamber, a flexible connector secured to the flywheel and to the piston and extending through the conduit, at least one heat exchanger, a heat source, the at least one heat exchanger being in communication with the heat source, and conduits connecting the at least one heat exchanger and the one end of the main chamber for circulating a medium to and from the main chamber as the piston slides in the main chamber so as to pass the medium heated by the heat source from the at least one heat exchanger to the main chamber and to pass the medium cooled in the main chamber from the main chamber to the at least one heat exchanger.
