Re: [Vo]:Compressed spring - what happens to the stored energy at different temperatures?

For my own edification I continued to think about the issue of potential energy gain and loss and I realise it depends on the interatomic forces within the spring. Cooling the compressed spring reduces the vibrations of the atoms in the spring, and allows the interatomic forces to strengthen

I do not think that this thought experiment works with springs. That is because spring energy is stored into compression of electron orbitals into higher energy levels. This means that compressed spring is more massive due to E=mc². However this is very intriguing thought experiment, because on

wow, so who (or what) killed the nitinol heat engine? and what does SMA mean? This nitinol machine converts heat into mechanical energy. What I am exploring is a sort of anti-heat engine - the destruction of mechanical energy by cold. harry On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 2:24 PM, Jones Beene
