Abstract

A new drive system using a shape memory alloy(SMA) wire is introduced. A SMA heat engine of the system is drived by the shape recovery force of SMA wire. Two mechanism, a reversal rotation system and SMA wire winding of the engine is developed newly. Finally it is applied to mobile displays and a car..
