Abstract
The invention describes an apparatus for generating electric power including a sealed assembly including at least two chambers, a communication duct connecting the two chambers, at least one energy conversion device and a working medium contained in at least one of the chambers. The apparatus is configured to transform energy of the working medium travelling through the communication duct into electric power.

1-24. (canceled)
An apparatus for generation of electric power comprising:
- a sealed assembly including at least two chambers and a communication duct, wherein the communication duct is arranged to provide fluid communication between said two chambers;
- a working medium in a liquid state contained in at least one of said chambers;
- wherein a vacuum condition is provided in the assembly, so that the boiling temperature of said liquid working medium in the assembly is lower than the boiling temperature of the same liquid at ambient pressure;
- wherein the volume of said liquid working medium is less than the inner capacity of the whole assembly;
- wherein the apparatus is configured in such a way that heating the liquid working medium contained in a first chamber of the assembly induces a transfer of the working medium, either in liquid state or in a vapor state, from said first chamber to a second chamber of the assembly, through a communication duct between said first chamber and second chamber;
- the apparatus further comprising at least one energy conversion device (6) arranged in at least one of said chambers and/or in the communication duct and configured to transform energy of the working medium travelling through the apparatus into an electric power output,
- wherein said energy conversion device includes at least one magnetic element, said at least one magnetic element being arranged to enter into direct contact with the working medium, and
- wherein said assembly includes more than two chambers forming a sequence of chambers, and wherein the working medium is transferred through the chambers by means of a plurality of transfer steps, each step being a transfer from a first chamber to a second chamber next to the first chamber in the sequence, the transfer of the working medium being operated as a result of heating any of the chambers of the apparatus, wherein the sequence of chambers forms a closed circuit and the process is performed cyclically while the working medium traverses the closed-circuit sequence of chambers.
