A Stirling cycle machine. The machine includes at least one rocking drive mechanism which includes: a rocking beam having a rocker pivot, at least one cylinder and at least one piston. The piston is housed within a respective cylinder and is capable of substantially linearly reciprocating within the respective cylinder. Also, the drive mechanism includes at least one coupling assembly having a proximal end and a distal end. The linear motion of the piston is converted to rotary motion of the rocking beam. Also, a crankcase housing the rocking beam and housing a first portion of the coupling assembly is included. The machine also includes a working space housing the at least one cylinder, the at least one piston and a second portion of the coupling assembly. An airlock is included between the workspace and the crankcase and a seal is included for sealing the workspace from the airlock and crankcase. A burner and burner control system is also included for heating the machine and controlling ignition and combustion in the burner.

This invention is a technological motor that increases, in each its period, the pressure of the gas that it compresses within the pressure volumes (BH) with the principle of communicating vessels, through the feature action—reaction of the mechanical system upon the acceleration of this system whose engine housing (MK) is the compressed gas tank. And this mechanic system is a motor which converts the potential energy in the compressed gases into kinetic energy without subjecting to chemical reaction. During these operations, the volume of the compressed gas in the engine housing (MK) does not change and it is not related to the mass volume of this motor, which is in direct proportion to the compressed gas pressure of the energy it produces. The motor with zero emission that is known for these features will be used in air, sea, land and space vehicles or charging their systems of these vehicles, which work with electrical energy, as the energy producer of the heating, cooling and lighting equipment.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a linear-to-rotary apparatus that includes a linear actuator having an actuator housing including a piston chamber, a piston shaft disposed in the piston chamber, and a rotor apparatus. The rotor apparatus includes a rotary joint defining a rotational axis, a rotor arm extending radially from the rotary joint and configured to at least partially pivot about the rotary joint, and a torque linkage pivotably connected to the rotor arm. The torque linkage is also attached to an end of the piston shaft of the piston at a pivot connection joint, where the pivot connection joint defines a pivot axis that is substantially perpendicular to the translation axis of the piston shaft.
