Abstract: An installation and a method for the production of energy which utilize a source of heat or natural thermic differences are described. A first container contains a fluid in the liquid state and is capable of transmitting the heat to the fluid, a second container being used for holding the fluid after completion of the thermodynamic cycle and after it has returned to the liquid state, the second container being at a temperature lower than the temperature which prevails in the first container. Conduit means for connecting the first and second container are provided. The fluid has a low boiling point and is capable of undergoing a change from the liquid to gaseous state. A turbine or equivalent device is provided to utilize the kinetic energy of the fluid and transform this energy into mechanical energy; the fluid is converted from the liquid to the gaseous state upon entry into this device and returns to the liquid state in the interior of the second container.
