  • System and method for energy conversion
    Patent number: 10683852
    Abstract: According to an aspect of some embodiments of the present invention there is provided a method for converting energy. The method comprises receiving energy from an external source, using the received energy for inducing a mass exchange process to release thermodynamic energy, and converting the thermodynamic energy directly into electrical energy at sufficient amount for performing work therewith. In some embodiments of the present invention, a portion of the released energy is converted to a pressure wave, and the mechanical energy constituted by the pressure wave is converted to non-mechanical energy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 25, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2020
    Assignee: Technion Research & Development Foundation Limited
    Inventors: Yehuda Agnon, Guy Ramon, Carlos Dosoretz

  • System and method for energy conversion by pressure wave and/or phase-exchange
    Patent number: 9562522
    Abstract: System and method for converting energy; the system comprising: an acoustic resonator; a phase-exchange device configured for forming across a section of said resonator a concentration gradient of a first substance in a gaseous medium contained by said resonator, to thereby generate a pressure wave within said resonator; and a conversion device for converting mechanical energy constituted by said pressure wave to non-mechanical energy.
