These Fluid Displacement Thermal Actuators designed by [Andrew Benson] are a delightful and profoundly different approach to the Power Harvesting Challenge portion of The Hackaday Prize.

Using a thermal actuator element, the bypass valve continuously senses the temperature of the water until a safe temperature is achieved. The bypass valve then closes, and water is routing to the ...

The LCE is hereby designed as a thermal bimorph actuator, using a distinct thermal expansion coefficient between the LCE and PDMS sides to create a highly controllable deformation and thus motion.
