Usage: as a toy "perpetuum mobile", which freely floats in a vessel with water and constantly rotates, requiring only periodic refilling of water. The engine is designed for operation in room conditions and has a variable speed of rotation from 1 to 3 revolutions per minute, depending on the temperature of water, air and humidity. The engine can be used as a training model for demonstrating the laws of physics, in particular, the law of conservation of energy. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: The engine body is preferably in the form of a cylindrical shape that encloses the chambers. The body is provided with areas contacting by heat transfer with the chambers, which ensures the flow of the thermodynamic process along the movement inside the chambers of the ether. On the outside of the engine housing there are protrusions that create torque.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the light industry producing toys and souvenirs, and can be used in school as a visual aid in physics.

A thermal engine is known , containing sealed chambers symmetrically and pairwise disposed around the geometric axis of rotation of the engine, and filled with volatile heat transfer media, for example, ether, and channels for connecting each pair of symmetrically located chambers [1]

This engine is the closest analogue of the proposed invention in terms of technical essence. However, the known engine is quite complex in design.

The technical result achieved in the claimed invention consists in simplifying the design.

In order to obtain this technical result in a thermal engine containing hermetic chambers symmetrically and pairwise disposed around the hermetic axis of rotation of the engine and filled with volatile heat transfer media such as ether and channels for connecting each pair of symmetrically located chambers, it has a waterproof enclosing chamber, Cylindrical shape, the inner walls of which are in contact with the chambers, and the protrusions on the outer side of the body for generating a torque.

The engine body can be made in the form of a free floating body.

In connection with the presence of several cameras, the engine has a rather complex design.

The purpose of the invention is to simplify the design of the engine, for which the known heat engine containing hermetic chambers filled with ether is provided with a watertight enclosing body, for example a cylindrical body whose walls are inwardly in contact with the chambers and have protrusions on the outside to create a torque due to the torque applied thereto Buoyancy force of water. This ensures the operation of the engine only on two chambers, in the prototype, the minimum number of chambers is four.

Execution of the body in the form of a free floating body further simplifies the engine, since it releases it from the bearings and the support.

The invention is explained in the drawings, in which FIG. 1a shows a two-chamber floating engine with lug-like protrusions, side view, FIG. 1b is the same, front view, FIG. 2 an embodiment of the protrusions due to the ovality of the housing, FIG. 3 a, b , in the circuit, explaining the operation of the engine.

The thermal motor contains hermetic chambers 1, which are connected in pairs by channel 2 and are symmetrically arranged around the geometric axis of rotation of the engine. Chambers 1 are filled with a volatile heat carrier, for example, ether. The engine is provided with a watertight enclosing chamber 3, the walls of which are in contact with the chambers to provide heat transfer. Case 3 is given in most embodiments of the cylindrical shape, but the shape of the ellipsoid of revolution, the ball, the polyhedral prism, etc., can also be used.

The wettability of the housing is achieved by a known method, for example, by winding it with hygroscopic paper. The engine can be mounted in bearings on any stand, which does not require a graphic explanation, or is made in the form of a freely floating body ( Figure 1 ), which is more effective.

On the side surfaces of the motor casing, there are protrusions 4 made in the form of overlays ( Figure 1 ) or formed by the oval body ( Figure 2 ).

The engine is designed to work in room conditions, in the temperature range from about 18 ° C to 30 ° C. Under these conditions, the surface of the upper chamber, which is in the air, is 1-2 degrees colder by evaporation than the surface of the lower chamber in the water. To increase the temperature difference between the chambers, which accelerates the rotation of the engine, the water can be heated. Accordingly, the temperature difference in the vapor pressure of the ether in the lower chamber becomes larger than in the upper chamber, and the liquid ether from the lower chamber is squeezed out into the upper chamber.

At the initial moment shown in FIG. 1 and 3a , the chambers are displaced relative to the vertical axis in the direction of rotation, so the ether merges into the right part of the upper chamber, creating its own weight G , the torque turning the motor clockwise. If there were no protrusions, after a leakage of approximately half the mass of the ether into the upper chamber, the two-chamber engine took a "dead" position, as shown in Fig. 3c . In this position, the chamber temperatures are equalized, and further rotation of the motor becomes impossible. The protrusions, however, delay the rotation of the engine, since they create a braking torque due to the buoyancy force ("Archimedes" force) F I , which, when rotated, increases in comparison with the decreasing force F 2 . This is because when turning clockwise, the depth of the right bulge increases, and the left one decreases. Thus, due to the protrusions, it is possible to pump more ether into the upper chamber, the weight of which G 1 is sufficient to overcome the force F 1 and the force C 2 from the weight of the ether residues in the former lower chamber that moves upward.

After crossing the vertical axis by the lower projection ( see Fig.3b), the "Archimedean" force F 3 creates a torque that facilitates the rotation. Under the action of two forces G 1 and F 3, the engine quickly completes the rotation to 180 ° , taking up the position of FIG. 3a , and the cycle is repeated.

According to the invention, an effective sample is produced, the rotation speed of which is 1-8 rpm depending on the environmental conditions (water, air and humidity).
