Patent Granted Thermoacoustics is based on the interactions between temperature, density and pressure variations on the acoustic longitudinal wave. Thermoacoustic devices can readily be driven using solar energy or waste heat and they can be controlled using proportional control. They can use heat available at low temperatures which makes it ideal to regeneration using waste heat from engines, and suitable for solar energy applications. The components included in thermoacoustic engines are usually very simple compared to conventional engines. The device can easily be controlled and maintained.
