It is arranged simply. The surface of the octagonal drum represent the bimetal plate. With the middle of each bound metal rod heavy enough counterweight. Opposite one of the faces is located a converging lens. The engine works in the following way. The sun’s rays focused by the lens, heat up the strip, causing it to bend; at the same time moves the associated counterweight. The balance of the system thus disturbed, and the drum is rotated 1/8 of a circle, substituting the sun the other his face. The process is repeated.
