Air Temp Nitinol

That is an interesting application. Rather than the entire housing you might be able to use a hydraulic ram.

Mmm I can't figure it. May you draw a scheme? Thanks

OK i Scored a broken thermobile and have had a bit of a Eureka moment . I made a Nitinol Wire loop that is sensitive to air temperature . i warmed the brass pulley to body temperature then  moved from room to room in my house which is about 75-77f depending where you are and got my Annealed air temp loop on the thermobile to spin with just the air temp change . Video is uploading now .Link in a few.

I do not know about any other wires other than the guy selling the 40 foot roll Nitinol Wire but i Annealed this wire just before the color changed and got My best results . the wire is light blue at this stage . it is very sensitive to air that is 75-98.6f  I call this Air temp nitinol because it only need body temp and air to react and create motion on pulleys .Now that i have a working model i am putting the finishing touches on my 6 pulley air temp Nitinol  motor and calling it the ATM (Air Temp Motor) .Remember that this wire was supposed to react to 125f if annealed with very high heat as described in Nitinol Annealing pdfs everywhere on the Internet . what they don't tell you is if you don't use high heat you get a highly reactive tuned Nitinol in the range i am working in . I already have another design in mind . It will be a Triangle with three  brass heat points and three air cooling points along the line segments  . Nitinol seems to like brass and brass transfers and holds warmth very well.
A note About the antique Vintage TherMobile . They are not manufactured since the 80's and are Very rare . I was already offered 200 dollars for mine after i fixed it and do not want to sell it . These may be worth more . They do have an expensive alternative the Heatmobile purchased here http://www.grand-illusions.com/acatalog/Heatmobile.html

Hi Gadget,

That is excellent, very little temperature change.

Another idea is the difference in temperature between the ground floor and attic. If you ever walked into the attic in the summer time you'll know the huge difference. Take a stove pipe and mount two pulleys into the ends of the pipe with your wire. Attached is a cutaway view.
