FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat-to-mechanical energy automotive converter (1). Proposed device comprises working medium to be converted into steam by heat source (3) in vehicle (1) and to be expanded by turbine (13) to generated mechanical power. Device comprises control unit (31) to receive the data indicating the vehicle braking moment and, if necessary, the appliance for connection of vehicle cooling system (21, 39) to vehicle power transmission (2, 5-9). Control unit (31) receives the data indicating the vehicle (1) need in extra motive force and allows the application of cooled coolant to this end.
EFFECT: efficient conversion.
