 ABSTRACT

The invention of shape memory alloys spurred a period of intense interest in the
area of heat engines in the late 70's and early 80's. It was believed that these engines could

use heat from low temperature sources such as solar heated water, geothermal hot water and

rejected heat from conventional engines as a significant source of power. Theinterest has

since dwindled, largely because small prototype devices developed in the laboratory could

not be scaled up to produce significant power. It is believed that the scaled-up designs failed

because they were dependent on friction as the driving mechanism, which led to large

energy losses and slip. This thesis proposes a new chainand sprocket driving mechanism

that is independent of friction and should therefore allow for large-scale power generation.

Key words: shape memory alloys ,SMA developers.
