Abstract
A gravity-heat engine 300 comprises a plurality of radial spokes 32 forming a wheel 30, each spoke 32 comprising a weighted piston 110a, a head of the piston being slidingly received within a piston chamber; and a working fluid 10 arranged to expand when heated. The gravity-heat engine 300 is arranged such that the weighted piston 110 is caused to move along the radial spoke 32 in a first direction in response to heating of the working fluid 10. The force may be transferred indirectly, by use of an intermediate hydraulic fluid 20.

A gravity-heat engine comprising:
- a plurality of radial spokes forming a wheel, each spoke comprising a weighted piston, a head of the piston being slidingly received within a piston chamber;
- and
- a working fluid arranged to expand when heated;
- and
- a hydraulic fluid located within the piston chamber and separated from the working fluid,
- and wherein the gravity-heat engine is arranged such that the hydraulic fluid is moved by the expansion of the separate working fluid so as to cause the weighted piston to move along the radial spoke in a first direction in response to heating of the working fluid.
