Abstract: An energy-recovery device comprises an engine, an immersion chamber, a drive, and a power module. The engine comprises a core comprising a core element that comprises working material, the core element comprising a fixed first end and a second end that is connected to the drive. The immersion chamber houses the engine and is configured to be sequentially filled with fluid to expand and contract the core element. The power module applies a controlled stress to the core element during at least one of a heating phase and a cooling phase of a power cycle carried out by the engine.

Abstract: A hydrostatic power unit (2) comprises a variable displacement machine with a continuously variable displacement volume and is operated as a pump and motor and is in a drive connection with an internal combustion engine (3). When operated as a pump, the power unit sucks hydraulic fluid out of a tank (9) and delivers into a delivery side (P), and, when operated as a motor, functions as a hydraulic starter to start the internal combustion engine (3). When operated as a motor, the power unit is supplied with hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic accumulator (30). The displacement volume of the power unit (2) is set by a displacement volume control device (60) actuated by a positioning piston device (61) supplied with hydraulic fluid from a charging pressure circuit (23). The power unit (2) includes a supplemental positioning piston device (80) in an operative connection with the displacement volume control device (60) and which is actuated directly by the pressure present in the hydraulic accumulator (30). By means of a connection of the supplemental positioning piston device (80) with the hydraulic accumulator, the power unit (2) can be adjusted to increase the displacement volume to start the internal combustion engine (3).
