Abstract
A support member is used to mount a heat motor and at least one electrical resistance heating element for actuating said heat motor. The support member is made of a thermally conductive material with cylindrical openings which receive the motor and heating element(s). Heat from the resistance element actuates the motor by heat conductance through the support.
