Some experiments and considerations on the behavior of thermomagnetic motors

Abstract

The construction details and the operation mechanism of a thermomagnetic motor made of temperature sensitive magnetic material are described in this paper. Because of the lack of a temperature sensitive magnetic material having suitable characteristics, the output and the efficiency of this motor are of extremely low value. As a results of these considerations and experiments the authors find it is not only useful for the development of energy conversion in electrical engineering to clarify the mechanism of such an energy converter, but also suggestive and serviceable to the development of new control devices.
