Abstract
The first experimental observation of a thermomechanical effect in a homeotropically planaroriented nematic liquid crystal is reported. The effect consists of the appearance of a hydrodynamic flow induced by a longitudinal temperature gradient. The measured value of the thermomechanical coefficient agrees well with the theoretical estimate.
