DEVICE FOR CONVERSION OF HEAT ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL AND/OR MECHANICAL, HEAT PIPE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC H01L35/00 H02N2/00 H02N10/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: device for conversion of heat energy into electrical and/or mechanical comprises one or more thermoelectric and/or thermomagnetic energy converters comprising a heat-sensitive ferromagnetic element, one or more permanent magnets, one or more heat pipes for heating and/or cooling of one or more thermoelectric converters and/or thermomagnetic energy converters. Heat-sensitive ferromagnetic element, which is part of thermomagnetic energy converter, has the ability to move between heat pipes when changing its magnetic properties or contains one or more permanent magnets moving inside heat pipes when changing magnetic properties of heat-sensitive ferromagnetic element.

EFFECT: invention relates to conversion of heat energy to electric and/or mechanical using devices based on thermoelectric and thermomagnetic method of converting thermal energy.
