Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, system, and method for thermal power generation, excellent in conversion efficiency from thermal energy to electric energy. SOLUTION: There are provided a heat absorbing window 12 which is so provided to a part of an outer frame member 11 whose interior is vacuum or filled with inert gas as exposed outside and transfers heat from outside to the inside of the outer frame member, an electron releasing member 2 which releases electrons heated by the thermal energy transmitted to the inside of the outer frame member through the heat absorbing window, an electron accelerating member 4 which accelerates electrons released from the electron releasing member 2, an insulating member 41 which electrically isolates an electron collecting member from the electron accelerating member, and the electron collecting member 3 which is disposed inside the outer frame member and collects electrons accelerated by the electron accelerating member after released from the electron releasing member. With the electron collecting member as a negative pole while the electron releasing member as a positive pole, electrons are shifted from the electron collecting member for power generation.
