Nitinol, Memory Alloy, Solid State Thermal Engines

[BWParticipant @bw]

I just stumbled across these concepts today.

Looks fascinating and may be of interest to some of you.

The basic ideas have neen around since the 1930s the heat engine aspect doesn't seem to be commercially developed/exploited yet.

Google will find lots of interesting things if you have a look
