this is payback for ultrasonic cutter isn't it. you beat me by 2 days to a wax motor video... I mean what're the odds??! I'm checking my garage for wire taps.

I use similar wax motors to open vents in my greenhouse when the temperature gets too high. Passive; no electricity.
-
Damn! I didn't realise you'd already done the full wax motor exploration and chopping in half. On a plus note that means It was all a nice surprise when I opened mine. (Videos coming up soon.) The technology reminds me of that electrolytic automatic grease unit you took apart. Little energy, lots of force.

"It grew about 2mm" That one hits a bit too close to home.

So the angle of the dangle is directly proportional to the heat of the meat?

I am going to use this to push my 32 year old son out of the house, slowly but steady.

"This thing's gonna need some more champagne and caviar to get into her. It's a fancy uptown rig." LMAO

Wow. Amazing how sane the comments are in here. You guys rock.

I had 3 double Bourbons and this all made so much more sense.

Sitting besides my fiances hospital bed, waiting for her to wake up, your videos really lighten my day! Thank you Uncle Bumblefuck!

GM used this type of device in early 90's 4wd pickups to engage the front axle. As a result, in the dead of winter when it's 20 below, they had a tendency to let you down lol. Eventually they released a refit kit with an electric solenoid. An early fix for offroaders was to remove the wax hookamadook and attach an old school choke cable into the fork in the axle

So my Cockford Ollie "FU" mug arrived. Took it to work and the boss said he better not see it again! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

If we knew the volume of paraffin in the cylinder and factored it with the bore X stoke of the actuator piston we get the ratio of expansion. That can be used to make an actuator with a very accurate stoke without the need for hardstops or feedback. Pack an old hydraulic cylinder full of it and with a little trial and error you have an automatic damper for the woodstove at the hunt camp.

Been thinking of the same sort of thing for solar. There's got to be some way to get them to face the sun with passive action. Plants do it.
