    • A device for converting thermal, mechanical and/or electrical energy quantities into other such energy quantities comprises at least one volume (97, 98, 127, 128, 129) comprising a liquid quantity (31, 32, 130, 131, 132, 202) and at least one partial volume (33, 34, 133, 134, 135) with a working medium. The partial volume is bounded by volume delimiting elements and a liquid surface. At least one of the volume delimiting elements or the liquid quantity can change its position relative to other volume delimiting elements or the liquid quantity in such a way as to change the size of the partial volume. The partial volume and the liquid quantity perform a rotational movement so that centrifugal forces act on the liquid quantity. Heat quantities are suppliable to or removable from at least one liquid quantity in that a part of the liquid quantity can flow into and out of the volume from outside the device through openings (49, 50, 52, 149) or in that the at least one liquid quantity is thermally coupled to another liquid quantity by heat exchangers.
      A thermoelectric, thermomechanical or thermal converter with at least one of the devices is provided, with which a Stirling, Ericsson, Vuilleumier, Clausius-Rankine, Joule process or a mixed form of the processes is realized.

    • In an example, an engine includes a thermal expansion unit comprising expansion material that expands in response to a temperature increase of the expansion material and contracts in response to a temperature decrease of the expansion material. The engine includes a structure comprising a heat receiving region, wherein at least a portion of the thermal expansion unit is disposed within the structure. The heat receiving region is configured to transfer thermal energy from a source of thermal energy to the expansion material through a first thermal energy transference path. The transfer of thermal energy to the thermal expansion unit causes expansion of the expansion material within the thermal expansion unit. The expansion of the expansion material causes an increase in length of the thermal expansion unit. The increase in length of the thermal expansion unit causes establishment of a second thermal energy transference path through which thermal energy is transferred from the expansion material to outside the thermal expansion unit.
