Air Temp Nitinol

[Mark69]

Hi gadget,  I think the nitinol motor is the best chance to get an overunity device working at a  price to afford.  I am glad to see someone giving it a go.  I would be interested in building one of these as well.  Please keep us updated on your progress.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Gadget,
Thanks for bring our attention to the availability of air temp Nitinol. Here's a link for a company that I've had good service for purchasing from that sells the low temp wire: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Air-Temp-Nitinol-SHAPE-MEMORY-Wire-magic-tricks-robotics-5-feet-/251012885447?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7188abc7


If I was working with Nitinol I'd work on a linear drive instead of rotary, you can now get highly efficient linear generators that operate on as little as a 0.5 in stroke.

I also think this is the best chance for ou for anyone .After all all the components in a sterling engine are in this wire . If you really want to play get a ready made Nitinol engine from here . this is the cheapest place i have found and have ordered one for the long nitinol  spring . Be sure to put in the coupon code for your discount http://www.scientificsonline.com/nitinol-heat-engine.html  Edmond Scientific Co.  and here is the Model running http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrsx6f4HrSE  One  minior problem with this design is the slipage on the pulleys . this guy has a much better design using a Nitinol chain and sprockets called the VT1 . grab the pdf while its unrestricted http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-02102001-172947/unrestricted/ETD.pdf

and the original inventor video  of the just released Video making Nitinol widely known this year . (Why haven't we heard of this before) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoezR5pyweU  this stuff was developed in 1962 .. Maybe because this stuff was top secret and already discovered in 1942 ? (Roswell Crash) Remember the discription of the shiny metal that sprung back when wadded up.

Who makes the nitinol products mentioned?

[gadgetmall]

http://www.kelloggsresearchlabs.com/  makes the low temp nitinol and some demo toys . you can contact them in the USA @ info@kelloggsresearchlabs.com What is interesting is they make the Nitinol in various activation temps by various amounts of Nickle and Titanium . Air temp Nitinol has 4 times more density and metal than standard high tempature nitinol . They also have Body Temp nitinol for demonstrating transformation at 98.6 . they can design any form or shape of Nitinol for the right price and from searching they are the cheapest manufacture willing to sell by the foot ...other Manufactures want Minium ordered of 700 dollars etc..
