Cover Story: A promising route for ensuring long-term energy and environmental security is by reducing the current rate of fossil-fuel consumption and of the release of associated emissions to the environment. This can be achieved to a significant extent by waste-heat recovery and conversion to useful work with suitable technologies, including conventional organic Rankine cycles (ORCs), but also more innovative concepts such as thermofluidic oscillator devices known as Up-THERM, NIFTE and others. While ORCs are an established technology, thermofluidic oscillators also show promise due to their lower specific costs per unit power. View here
