To provide a thermal photovoltaic generation method, which is excellent in system performance and also simple and low in cost, and a device for that method.
A thermal photovoltaic generation method, wherein a luminous body layer is made to emit light with heat of combustion and generation is conducted by a photoelectric conversion element using the light, is a method wherein an inner cylinder 2, which consists of a porous heat accumulating material and at the same time, is formed of a luminous body layer on the inner surface thereof, is housed in an outer cylinder 1, which is provided with a feed opening 1a for a fuel F and the air A for combustion and an exhaust vent 1b for combustion exhaust gas and a consists of a heat-resistant thermal insulating material, and with the inner cylinder 2 rotated centering around a major axis within the outer cylinder 1, the fuel F and the air A for combustion are fed through the feed opening 1a into the inner cylinder 2 and after the fuel F is made to burn on the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 2, the gas G is exhausted via the rotating inner cylinder 2 and preheating of the inner cylinder 2 is conducted using this gas G.
