http://cgi.ebay.com:80/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item30208302087&ssPageName­ME:L:LCA:US:1123
It's a really good deal @ $10.

    --Yeah if it *stays* at $10.- Doesn't look like there's any more
than the one lot tho..

Re: Cheap Muscle Wire



Let me know how much you want and I'll put it on Ebay. I have about 3 miles
available.

This begs an explanation; I can't begin to imagine.

Re: Cheap Muscle Wire



Hi Daniel.  My project is:
http://www.pacificsites.com/~snyder/Motor/high_efficiency_power_conversion.htm
I am having difficulty with machining and am working on it. I bought over 7
miles. The stuff on ebay is the least useful to me. The stuff I'm not
selling has a smaller diameter and heats/cools faster. Any help/suggestions
are welcome.

Re: Cheap Muscle Wire

    --Aha! Looks to me like a variation on the venerable Stirling
engine. That means not a lot of torque, but a sealed system; i.e. all you
need is an adequate delta-T between hot end and cold end. For Stirlings this
number can be as low as, IIRC, 70degF . If you can narrow the delta-T
further you might have something.
