(57) Abstract :
In one embodiment according to the invention, there is provided a method for generating electrical energy using a thermal cycle of a
working gas. The method comprises using the motion of a piston (503,504) in a cylinder (501), containing the working gas (502)
performing the thermal cycle, to electromagnetically induce current in an electrical circuit coupled to the cylinder; using the electrical
circuit (509,510) to store the electrical energy, produced by the current induced in the electrical circuit, in an electrical storage device;
(437,438) and using the electrical energy stored in the electrical storage device to electromagnetically provide a motive force to the
piston. Cyclically using the electrical circuit to store the electrical energy and using the stored energy to provide a motive force to the
piston effect a net positive average power transfer into the electrical storage device over the course of the thermal cycle.
