  • Bimetallic strips bend due to the uneven expansion of two bonded metals. In this video, we are taking a look at making what I call bimaterial strips. Aluminum glued to paper will behave the same way as bimetallic strips and can be used to making a light bulb blink on and off. The frequency of blinking can vary according to the type of bulbs used, the amount of heat they produce, the construction of the strips and how close the strips are to the heat source. Generally, the time needed to blink on and off can ranges about 20 to 30 seconds.

    Many hygrometers also use bi-material coils, where one side is affected by airborne moisture and expands and contracts depending on moisture absorption / evaporation.

    I don't like when people get distracted with minor details and loose the hole objective. Forget about the adhesive , please, discard it's reaction, and pay attention to this beautifull theacher i would have love to be a student of any class he teaches in. Love you Bruce!.

    Another example would be the turn signal flasher for a car. But instead of heat from a bulb, its current flowing through the bi-matalic strip that makes it bow, making and breaking the circuit. However, some newer car use timers, especially cars with LED tailights, because of the low current usage.

  • @capodad2u
    @capodad2u Před 7 lety

    Bruce, as another of your "fans" mentioned this is another demonstration of "free energy" (gosh I hate that misnomer) as is your solar motor. I think you could adapt this bi - material method to a similar type of thermal acoustic motor. Not piston powered like a Stirling engine think more like the rubber band spoked wheel or over balanced wheel, cool on one side warm on the other, the curling of the materials could effectively shift the weight to one side of the center of rotation. What's hot and cold naturally? Many things, sun and shade, evaporation, condensation are a couple of simple ones people forget. "Energy" is all around us and (apparently it peaks in children, lol) inside all of us. Many common consumer packaging products are bi-material. But of course as we all know ALL energy is "free".... It's the collecting and distribution off for which we pay.

    • @YeanyScience
      @YeanyScience  Před 7 lety

      LOL, yes, I know any time I use the term "free energy" I am in for a host of complaints or comments. . I hadn't thought of using a solid for the expansion properties but it sound like a good idea. I want to give that some thought, Thanks capawackio

    • @YeanyScience
      @YeanyScience  Před 7 lety +2

      I can get these to work for a few days, haven't tried for any longer time. If I were using it for something like you suggest, I'd probably use an old bimetallic strip out of a thermostat. WIth the ones I made, I think the moisture might be a problem with the paper

    • @scottlund4562
      @scottlund4562 Před 7 lety

      Bruce Yeany I appreciate the feedback Bruce, and for that application of opening a vent and being durable I would definitely go bimetal as per the beginning of your video. There are beeswax pistons out there, but I like this thought and I know there are some old thermostats in the loft of the shop Thanks Again!.

    A great idea to turn very complex phenomena into easily visualized examples.
    Hopefully, 1 student in 1,000 will become intrigued enough with the result to become interested in the complex calculations that justify the results. That student will learn
    and this alone justifies the effort made by Mr Yeany.
    Good Thinking Sir.
    The other 999 students will be mystified , 10 of them will be satisfied with an scientific (boring?) explanations ; 989 will NOT comprehend, the explanation will be B-O-R-I-N_G,
    989 won't give a sh*t anyway.

    Hey Bruce! I've been thinking about motion toys like your 2d sand hourglass frames and solar motors. I'm playing with bamboo and water ideas (kinetic fountains) ooh that sounds cool when I phrase it like that. The idea I have in mind right now is to do a long term 'this path, that path' type of water drip distribution system with shishi-odoshi, or dear scarers, the clack water bamboo pivot fill up till it tips-thing-trick, along with thin strips of bamboo that alternatingly get soaked in water and bend or dry and restiffen, and as water drips into different paths that are always changing randomly (kind of like double pendulums do, but maybe with the design of a loose pyramid / pachinko type layout
    reminds me of the champagne pouring trick, the cup that runneth ov-a
    shishi pachinko odoshi inari
    Bruce if you have any access to bamboo sticks with a decent diameter, cut to a length you can comfortably swing around, and drill (burn actually works well), and maybe remove a couple nodes to make longer air columns inside the stick, it makes a really pleasing song stick or dream reed OOH I like that name too! thank you bruce you're so easy to talk to you know that?? gosh are you a genius or something how do you do it. Thanks for the help. but that stick is so much fun to swing around and try to hit different notes with, a little whipple of the wrist and you can get trills, smooth swings with the right clip to get wind are really satisfying, you can make fast space ship sound by going back and forth, or long space ship sounds by spinning in a circle smoothly. I make staff flutes sometimes and this is an easy variation, my mom's random holes in sticks even sound good, and they're always so unique, the sounds they make! from George Lucas to Jean Luc to mars rover the variations are endless!
    lol like wtf does it only make spaceship sounds kid??? why???? haha love you bruce

      @Sol-x Před 8 lety +1

      this was the foundation of memory wire that Bruce Yeany just demonstrate for us laymen . and yes we have been using memory wire for the last 60 years in the commercial sectors. look to the old heat thermostat during the time mercury thermostats were used in the public sectors of home heating.
      and even after 60 years? those thermostats still work with perfect timing of memory using heat factors despite the degree of oxidation,
      . here could be a fun experiment. get and old thermostat, remove the mercury bulb. use what is left over to turn your lights on during the evening hours by an electrical contact and they will turn off during the day light hours where the temperature will change. that is memory wire using the physics of thermal dynamics. to day? we call them coffee pots. the same memory wires
      i might add memory wire was invented by tesla. i was curious so i looked up his patents. but only for i was looking for his ray gun he gave to government and found that he always included in his physics the memory of heat in his wires. the ray gun he invented can be found in most any home on the planet now. it is called the megatron. found in any micro wave oven. or any radiant tower such as a cell tower. with out memory wire we would not have instant communications today. nor silicate computer chips. thus the name silicon valley in California was later created for its understanding of using silicate instead of metals. silicates changed the face of Tesla's discovery's to crystalline uses involving polymers. a much cheaper and available compound then metals. and yet held a greater perfect degree of persesiton when heat was presented. thus in 1968 in the public sector the first video game called "PONG" was invented to the mass publicly.
      whom am i? i never graduate from high school. lower learning was a lie. and college perpetuated that lie. even though i had to pay them 260,000 dollars for there lies. and never was given a degree.
