The subject of the invention is the method of conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy and a thermo-hydrodynamic converter in which the said conversion occurs, which is the result of combustion of the fuel in the boiler in which generated steam is directed to converter vessels, whereas during continuous operation the steam is reheated and it is repeatedly used in converter units of different pressures.

The method of conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy for power generation consists in that water is heated in the boiler (kp) to obtain steam that is supplied under the pressure of about 100 atm and at the temperature of about 500° C. to the vessel (tk1) from where it forces out the water accumulated in the vessel, which flowing out from the vessel (tk1) drives the water turbine (10) and this water turbine drives the power generator (11), and then the water is supplied to the vessel (tk2) from where it is forced out by the steam supplied from the boiler (kp), which water flowing out from the vessel (tk2) drives the water turbine (10) and this water turbine drives the power generator (11), and then this water is supplied to the vessel (tk3) from where it is forced out by the steam supplied from the boiler (kp), which water flowing out from the vessel (tk3) drives the water turbine (10) and this water turbine drives the power generator (11), and then this water is supplied to the vessel (tk4) from where it is forced out by the steam supplied from the boiler (kp), which water flowing out from the vessel (tk4) drives the water turbine (10) and this water turbine drives the power generator (11), whereby the water returns to the vessel (tk1), and the steam from the vessel (tk4) returns to the boiler (kp) preheating the steam produced there and the working cycle of the vessels (tk1), (tk2), (tk3), (tk4) of the converter is repeated from the beginning.

An air-driven generator for generating electric power from movement of a working fluid. Upper ends of buoyancy conduits are in fluidic communication with an upper end of a gravitational distribution conduit, and a lower end of the gravitational distribution conduit is in fluidic communication with lower ends of the buoyancy conduits. An air injection system injects air into the buoyancy conduits. A closed fluid loop is formed with working fluid flowing from the gravitational distribution conduit driving a fluid turbine system that is interposed between the lower ends of the gravitational distribution conduit and the buoyancy conduits.
