ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A thermal energy converting assembly including a support housing rotatably supporting a central hub with a plurality of temperature sensitive metal alloy strips extend- ing radially from the hub for coacting with a cam which sinus- oidally strains the strips during one phase and allows the unstraining of the strops during a second phase. The strips are made of a material which undergoes a thermoelastic, marten- sitic phase transformation whereby in a relatively cold condition it takes less energy to strain the strips than is produced from the strips as they become unstrained when subsequently subjected to a hotter condition In the first embodiment the strips are strained by torsional twisting as a result of lever arm attached to the ends of the strips and reacting with the cam whereas in the second embodiment the strips are strained by bending as push rods are associated with the distal ends of the strips and have rollers thereon for coacting with the cam.
