A crank circular slider mechanism that includes a multi-row reciprocating motion part and a one-row reciprocating part. The multi-row reciprocating motion part has a guiding part divided by a longitudinal groove into two rows parallel to each other, each of which has a hole for a circular slider. The one-row reciprocating motion part has a guiding part which can be inserted into the longitudinal groove of the multi-row reciprocating motion part along the thickness direction, so as to vertically traverse the multi-row reciprocating motion part. The guiding part of the one-row reciprocating motion part includes a hole receiving a middle circular slider. Two circular sliders are mounted in the same phase; the middle circular slider is sandwiched therebetween and is located with a 180 degree phase difference compared to them. Adjacent circular sliders are secured to each other.

A cryogenic refrigerator includes a Scotch yoke mechanism including a Scotch yoke and a bearing movably engaged with the Scotch yoke, and a displacer caused to reciprocate in a cylinder by the Scotch yoke mechanism, so that a refrigerant gas inside an expansion space formed in the cylinder is expanded by the reciprocation of the displacer to generate cold temperatures. The Scotch yoke includes a concave part at a position corresponding to a top dead center of the displacer.

Embodiments are directed to a power system for generating mechanical energy from input electrical energy. The system includes a liquid tank configured to house fluid and communicate with a fluid compressor and an evaporator, a fluid compressor configured to compress the fluid to a higher-pressure state, a fluid pump configured to receive fluid from the condenser and convert kinetic energy from the fluid to mechanical energy, and a suction fan configured to blow air between the evaporator and condenser. The evaporator changes the fluid's state from a liquid to a gas. The condenser changes the fluid's state from a gas to a liquid. The system includes an accumulator tank to hold the fluid from the condenser, a piping network that communicates the fluid between the components, an enclosure that houses the components of the power system, and a power supply that delivers electricity to the fluid compressor and electric components.
