For the prevention of environment against global warming and at the same time for the preservation of energy, we are focused on the utilization of unused or waste energy. In this research, we have tested the new type of energy conversion system with thermoacoustic prime mover. The advantages of this prime mover are the simplicity and the flexibility for various heat sources such as an external engine. To enhance the performance of the system, we introduce membrane of natural rubber into the system to cut the DC heat flow inside the resonant tube. In this paper, some discussions on the basic of membrane insertion and effect of it on the performance have been done.
