Hydraulic fluid generator

The method for utilization of thermal energy from a fluid comprising:

• pumping fluid containing thermal energy into a container having a heat exchanger therein with a working fluid which flows into and out of said heat exchanger and in an isolated part of the heat exchanger;
• discontinuing the flow of fluid containing thermal energy to said container and pumping a second fluid having a different amount of thermal energy to the same container;
• causing the working fluid to be introduced into a hydraulic motor;
• causing said hydraulic motor to operate by reason of the introduction of the working fluid therein;
• and
• utilizing the operation of said hydraulic motor to provide mechanical energy.

An apparatus for converting thermal energy to mechanical energy comprising

• a container for fluid having an inlet and an outlet;
• means connected to the inlet to provide alternately a first fluid having one degree of thermal energy and a second fluid having a second degree of thermal energy;
• means connected to the outlet to discharge alternately the fluid contained in the first degree of thermal energy and the fluid having the second degree of thermal energy;
• heat exchange means containing a working fluid contained within said container;
• means connecting with said heat exchange means to supply said working fluid into said heat exchange means;
• means connected to said heat exchange unit to exhaust said working fluid out of said heat exchange means;
• means connected to said exhaust means to transfer said exhausted fluid to a mechanical device;
• and
• means connected to said mechanical device to remove said working fluid when the same has been utilized.
