Abstract

The present invention relates to a thermodynamic device comprising: a vessel, wherein the vessel houses a displacer means, the displacer means being pivotable about an axis of the vessel, the displacer means further comprising a resilient bias means couplings to the vessel and a first electric means, wherein the first electric means controls the movement of the displacer means. Preferably wherein there are two displacer means, coupled by a resonant tube and a power means comprising a turbine, coupled to the displacer means and positioned within the resonant airflow. Further preferably the displacer means are vanes. Also preferably wherein the vessel is cylindrical and may be pressurised and also wherein the displacer means may be driven, or drives an output, using an integral or otherwise, magnet and coil assembly.
