Abstract
Heat-engines using shape memory alloy (SMA) were expected to be employed as heat-engines driven by low-temperature thermal energy. However, since the product-life cycle of conventional heat-engines using SMA is too short, SMA heat-engines have not been put into practical use. For the purpose of the product life improvement of the SMA engine, we devised and fabricated some SMA heat-engines using the tape-shaped SMA element. This paper reports the description of fabricated SMA heat-engines and output characteristics of these engines.
