A system that is used for recuperating, increasing and generating energy that is inherent within a heat source. Any type of heat source can be utilized such as "ambient air" which is preferred, or the like. The system incorporates fluids namely, a liquid refrigerant and hot oil. The unusual new end results are accomplished when the liquid refrigerant and hot oil are mixed together resulting in a physical reaction that produces intense (P.S.I.'s) and highly pressurized foam which in turn provides lubrication and produces usable energy that can be used to power the system and/or transferred to a rotary shaft for work. Also, the system may be easily used for refrigeration or air conditioning purposes.

Having described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. A system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source comprising: a container having an internal compartment that is partitioned forming a first section; a second section; a third section; and a fourth section; said first section containing a heat exchanger component, said second section containing an evaporative cooler component, said third section containing a condenser component, said fourth section containing a physical reaction system and a fan, each said section being in open communication with each other via an air coil arrangement associated with said heat exchanger, a ventilated fluid recycling membrane associated with said evaporative cooler component and an air coil arrangement associated with said condenser component each of which are installed inline within each said component, each said air coil arrangement and said ventilated fluid recycling membrane with said fan in combination allow outside ambient air to be drawn into and throughout each said component and forcibly directed outwardly from within said container via an opening located on said container, said physical reaction system including a housing, said housing being partitioned forming an evaporator expansion high pressure chamber and an accumulator compartment, said accumulator compartment having a motor mounted therein, said evaporator expansion high pressure chamber being in open communication with said motor, said evaporator expansion high pressure chamber having an inlet for receiving a hot oil and a liquid refrigerant therein, upon mixing of said hot oil and said liquid refrigerant within said evaporator expansion high pressure chamber a physical reaction occurs causing expansion in the form of a foam which in turn results in increased pressure/volume, due to said increased pressure/volume said foam is forcibly directed into said motor thus providing a compression force for operating said motor, upon said foam being ejected from within said motor into said accumulator chamber said foam is transformed into a vapor, within said accumulator chamber said vapor is separated allowing said oil to separate back into the original state and accumulate on the bottom of said accumulator, said oil is circulated full-flow via an oil pump from within said accumulator chamber throughout said heat exchanger then into said evaporator expansion high pressure chamber thus completing the oil circulating cycle, said vapor is directed from within said accumulator chamber into said condenser via a vapor delivery conduit, within said condenser said vapor when condensed transforms back into said liquid refrigerant, within said condenser said liquid refrigerant is directed outwardly there from through a liquid refrigerant delivery conduit via a refrigerant pump back into said evaporator expansion high pressure chamber thus completing the refrigerant circulating cycle and said motor having a rotary shaft extending there from for performing work. 2. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 1 wherein said vapor delivery conduit further includes a check valve and a compressor, whereby when said compressor is on said vapor bypasses said check valve and when said compressor is off said vapor is directed into said condenser via said check valve. 3. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 1 wherein said heat exchanger component further includes an oil reservoir for containment of reserve said oil. 4. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 1 wherein said condenser component further includes a liquid refrigerant reservoir for containment of reserve said liquid refrigerant. 5. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 4 wherein said refrigerant reservoir includes a liquid refrigerant return conduit that is interconnected to a refrigerant control valve, said liquid refrigerant delivery conduit is interconnected to said refrigerant control valve, whereby, said refrigerant control valve provides adjustable regulation of how much of said liquid refrigerant is delivered to said evaporator expansion high pressure chamber or how much of said liquid refrigerant is returned via said liquid refrigerant return conduit to said liquid refrigerant reservoir thus allowing for regulating the horse power of said system. 6. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 1 wherein said container includes a drip pan, whereby any accumulating condensed water from either said heat exchanger component or said condenser drips into said drip pan, said any accumulating condensed water within said drip pan is then directed into a water pump that pumps said any accumulating condensed water into said evaporator cooler. 7. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 1 further includes an auxiliary heat source booster and an auxiliary heat source diverter valve, said auxiliary heat source booster having an alternative heat intake; an alternative heat outlet; an oil inlet; and an oil outlet; said auxiliary heat source diverter valve being installed inline between said heat exchanger component and said auxiliary heat source booster, whereby when said auxiliary heat source diverter valve is open said oil is directed full-flow from within said heat exchanger component via said oil inlet into said auxiliary heat source booster for additional heating, thereafter said oil is directed full-flow from within said auxiliary heat source booster via said oil outlet into said evaporator expansion high pressure chamber. 8. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 4 further includes an auxiliary cold source booster and an auxiliary cold source control valve, said auxiliary cold source booster having an alternative cold intake; an alternative cold outlet; a liquid refrigerant/vapor inlet; and a liquid refrigerant outlet; said auxiliary cold source control valve being installed inline between said condenser and said liquid refrigerant reservoir, whereby when said auxiliary cold source control valve is open said liquid refrigerant is directed from within said condenser via said liquid refrigerant/vapor inlet into and throughout said auxiliary cold source booster for additional cooling, thereafter said liquid refrigerant is directed from within said auxiliary cold source booster via said liquid refrigerant outlet into said liquid refrigerant reservoir. 9. The system for recuperating, increasing and generating energy inherent within a heat source of claim 1 wherein said liquid refrigerant is Puron® and said oil is synthetic according to factory recommendations or engineering choice.
