本文介绍了低成本热声发电机的构造和初步测试。设计和构造了一种具有环管谐振器配置的行波热声发动机，用于将热量转换为声能。采用市售的低成本扬声器将发动机的声能转换为电能。介绍并详细讨论了初步实验结果。结果表明，使用市售的低成本扬声器作为交流发电机来开发低成本热声发电机是可行的。
This paper describes the construction and preliminary testing of a low-cost thermoacoustic electricity generator. A travelling-wave thermoacoustic engine with a configuration of a looped-tube resonator is designed and constructed to convert heat to acoustic power. A commercially available, low-cost loudspeaker is adopted to convert the engine’s acoustic power to electricity. Preliminary experimental results are presented and discussed in detail. The results show that it is feasible to use commercially available, low-cost loudspeakers as alternators to develop low-cost thermoacoustic generators.
