Curie Point Heat Engine: when the magnet on the end of the wire heats up to a particular temperature (the Curie point) its magnetic field is temporarily lost until it cools. This engine design uses a second magnet to pull the swinging magnet back into the heat source (in this case a tea light candle flame) once the magnetic field is reestablished. Repetition of this process creates mechanical motion as long as the heat source is fueled. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on where to get m
