Abstract
A system and an apparatus expose a trapped gas to light, the gas being one which is dissociated by the light from a molecular state to an excited atomic state and which generates heat on reconversion of the excited atomic gas to its molecular state upon contact with a third body entrapped with the gas, the generated heat being transmitted for use.
