Magnetic Heat Engine Curie Effect

Curie Point Magnetic Heat Engine How it works

The heat engine uses a principle of magnetism discovered by Pierre Curie. He studied the effects of temperature on magnetism. Ferromagnetism covers the field of normal magnetism that people typically associate with magnets. All normal magnets and the materials that are attracted to magnets are ferromagnetic materials. Pierre Curie discovered that ferromagnetic materials have a critical temperature at which the material loses its ferromagnetic behavior. This is known as its Curie Point.
As an example, a piece of iron (Fe) at room temperature is strongly attracted to a magnet. Heat the iron to a temperature of 770 C, which is its Curie Point, it loses its ferromagnetism behavior and it is no longer attracted to a magnet. If we let the iron cool, it regains its ferromagnetic behavior and is attracted to the magnet again.

I wonder, does a metal loose magnetism permenantly after it's been heated enough times? I suspect it might, wondering how long it would run for if the heat stayed on.

[RainstormGB]

the magnets loose their power if u heat them up above say 70c but the metal will always work i have made a new part for it a gas burner no more messy candles

it would work will solar :) just gotto heat the metal up some metal have a lower curie point Europium is the best i think with less than 100c curie point

Do people think your mad? when you go to work on mondays. "Oh Hi how was your weekend ?"

"Great i built a Magnetic Heat Engine ?"

People think i'm of my head when i try an explain things, that i have discovered on the net.

@xadart What do you think candles are made with? Paraffin. The chemical formula is C20H42. It's made from fossil fuel. The alternative is bee's wax.

What a great little experiment :)

[Raycheetah]

That little stub of candle gets up to 770 C? I'd never have guessed!

Of course, the next problem (aside from a reliable heat source) would be mechanical resistance for whatever sort of mechanism you wanted to use this with. =^[.]^=

[alikokos]

maybe you can use that in a rube goldberg machine type experiment

The truth is bizarre to those with the mainstream mindset. Good video btw rainstorm, I like to see stuff like this, just further goes to show that we don't require fossil fuels.
