Abstract
In the pressure oscillation generator, self-excited vibration is generated in a work transfer tubeby heating a heat input sectionand also a resonatoris resonated, and when a work is inputted into a heat exchanger, the work is amplified by the heat exchanger, and is transferred to the heat transfer tubeand is then outputted to an output section. Because of the configuration, an outputted work can be amplified to a work larger than the inputted work, so that, by using a portion of the outputted work as energy for driving the cylinder, the pressure oscillation generatorcan continuously be driven only by heating and without using electric energy generated by a large scale solar system or the like, which enables substantial size reduction of the pressure oscillation generator
