Study on the Output Power Characteristics of the Shape Memory Alloy Engine (3rd Report)

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to verify the validity of the rotation mechanism theory of the SMA engine by experiment. The main results obtained by this research are as follows . We manufactured the equipment for the experiment to measure simultaneously rotation speed and torque, and obtained a maximum output power 1 .2W. We compared the experiment values of the rotation speed and the torque with the theoretical values , and partially verified the validity of the theory.We drew up the empirical formula which predicts the maximum output power of the SMA engine.
