Thermopneumatic Actuators

Thermopneumatic Actuators is a type of thermal actuator that operates by harnessing the expansion of a heated gas or vapor within a confined chamber to generate mechanical motion, distinguishing it from other thermal actuators through its reliance on pneumatic pressure changes induced by thermal energy.
