The revolution energy converter project

The Revolution Energy Converter is like an active heat exchanger which transforms a part of the heat to pressure pulses of a desired frequency.
Theoretically it can be compared to a Stirling engine so as to one alternately heat and cool a closed working volume and convert the pressure / volume changes to work.
The revolution energy converter excels with electromechanical control and comparatively much larger areas for heat transfer that can benefit from lower temperature differences and can be built for higher output power than a conventional Stirling engine.

The concept is in its early stages with wide applications in the energy field. Together with the Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Sweden, we have planned a feasibility study and a lab-module. The energy converter provides new geometries for heat transfer and fluid mechanics seeking new methods of calculation. More research and knowledge is needed in order to understand the mechanisms of heat transfer. Being able to optimize for lower temperature differences may also result in new transfer of primary energy. Project mgr at LTH is Prof. Bengt Sundén, execution doc Lei Wang and research engineer Martin Carlsson. The project is searching for co-funding.
