Hi ASH, very good finding, it's strange that no one replied !
This morning I got this video in my subscription list :
Nitinol - The Mystery Metal from 1970 (Also See Info in Vid Description) - YouTube
Just stunning !!!!!!!!!!!
In the 70's NASA and DOE studied this titanium-nickel alloy.
We see several models in the video, and interviews of officials.
At that time they estimated the cost at 600 USD per kW installed. Cheaper than nuclear and solar, solar was at 10k USD per kW at that time.

This one is very visual concept, and if the alloy is easy to make ... then it could be the easiest and cheapest energy source, coupled with solar water heater.

This is a very heavy proof of the suppression of cheap and easy energy source !!!!
Who wants to die ? Let's build a nitinol generator and show it on TV. ahahaha
A video to save for your grand-children, as a beautiful tell ...
excellent work Ash, as usual !

more info

I found this video was on overunitycom youtube channel since 1 year ...
and a few more links and docs BELOW the video here Nitinol - A New Free Energy System - YouTube

Notice what the CNN reporter says at the end of the video, while showing some of the hundreds papers published already at that time :
"At least in one laboratory in the US, were published details about a kind of super-nitinol. A nitinol vastly more powerful than the material we have been looking at. Well, however what that may be, it seems clear that nitinol story has just began. CNN news network, Science reports."

NO COMMENT >>> I'll put this NITINOL stuff in pole position on my list of free-energy devices !!!

Thanks man now more work for us to do! Jokes love you man , thank you , i think its time for a course on this and some tests later. Very good finds i know Stefan has this stuff and knew about it a long time ago. Some of it was classified, by whom and for what . Why dont they talk about it in the renewable energy sector, exactly.

JT thanks for that we are making a new energy suppression video production, but it wil have the best DYI with it.

Ash, I wish I was millionaire ! I would build your research center and put 20 brave guys as you on a payroll, and we would rock the world !
Time for a revolution, isn't it ?
I wish I was a millionaire ! Any one reading here ?
cheers

I too just saw the video and am blown away by the potential of this alloy. It seems incredible that a thread has not been started before now. This stuff has been around in large amounts wince the 70's.

I china you can by this stuff in wire, rod stock, springs (large & small), plate, foil etc. A lot of potential for motors to be designed, especially when used in conjunction with vortex tubes for hot & cold supply. I'm working on a concept atm and should be ready for small tests soonish.

Cheers,

Steve

CNN wheel

Man, after watching several times, this wheel looks much easier to build than I thought

[Jules Tresor]

They says nitinol wire stretches with a force of 55tons per sq.inch
1 sq.inch = 645 sq.mm (Converion table & fectors)

So a 1sq.mm wire has a force of 85kg !?

1sq.mm wire = 17 AWG (AWG to square mm Wire Gauge Conversion)

Quote source <BASE TARGET="_parent"> <title>Article 12-Getting Warmer: The Nitinol Engine

#12 from R&D Innovator Volume 1, Number 4 November 1992

Getting Warmer: The Nitinol Engine
by Ridgway Banks

Mr. Banks, an independent machinist and inventor in Point Richmond, California, develops novel heat engines using a peculiar alloy called nitinol. He has taught junior high school music and science, published chamber music, and worked as a technical associate for Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
...
I now use air as the cooling medium (heat sink), deforming nitinol wires in pure linear tension (rather than the coil or loop configuration) and letting them shrink back to their original length in solar-heated water. This uses energy much more efficiently, even if it does not make a machine that runs "like clockwork." End quote.

Hi,

I have attached the basic concept I'll be testing first. The description is in the image, but essentially it does away with the need to use hot water or air.

Cheers,

Steve

Good work finding that pdf.
