ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A prime mover or motor having one or more compartments in which pressure variations are produced by transporting molecules into and/or out of the compartment by means of an electrolytic membrane. Devices for converting the pressure changes to mech- anical motion without adversely affecting the sealed condition of the compartment. The mechanical motion produced by the appar- atus of the invention is typically reciprocating linear motion and means are disclosed for converting such motion into a pumping function a rocking function or a rotating function. Disposed within the compartments is an electrochemically active material that can exist in the gaseous phase and that can enter into an oxidation/reduction reaction in order to form ions that move across an electrolytic membrane so as to increase or decrease pressure in a compartment in response to application of a voltage gradient of proper duration and polarity across the membrane. Hydrogen and oxygen are materials for use in the apparatus.
