      How does a Clean Heat Engine create Energy?
 
 

 

Dr. Johnson's Clean Engine® works by syphoning mechanical movement or energy from the process of normal temperature stabilization or equalization. When hot, the Muscle Wire® contracts, or shortens, pulling downward on the two upper pulleys. (a)

The lower upper pulley has a mechanical advantage so it overpowers the higher pulley and rotates toward the hot side. (b) This forces the upper pulley to move toward the cold side. The bottom pulley ensures that the left and right side forces are equal. (c)

The clean engine's unbalanced force causes the wire and pulleys to accelerate until they spin fast enough to generate sufficient drag to balance the unequal tension.
