Hello, my name is Shaun Durant and I'm looking for a physicist to examine an idea of mine. It's an unusual method for creating the force needed to drive a piston. It only has 3 moving parts and I'd like to know if this idea is feasible before I go any further. It deals with buoyancy, the curie point of nickel and a slightly weakened magnetic field. (A magnets field strength is reduced 5 - 10 percent when heated to its maximum operating temperature). The idea isn't complicated, it should take less than 30 minutes to examine.
Hello Shaun,
As your project is related to magnets, I would like to suggest you perform FEA which will let you know the exact force of repulsion/attraction during the period piston is nearest to farthest.
I will perform FEA for you if you want to.

Kartik Sheladiya
Hello there,
I'm a masters degree holder in aerospace engineering. My major is in fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics. I can help with ur project. Lemme know more about it.
I am an aeronautical engineer by profession, engaged in the field of structural design and analysis with a keen interest in all things clean energy orientated and feel that I would be an ideal candidate for the project you propose. Having successfully studied the topic of Renewal Energy with the Open University here in the UK in the past. Should you consider that I possess the necessary credentials and experience and would be suitable for your current project, then please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss further details.
My kind regards
Peter
Hello,
I'm a German mechanical engineer with considerable experience in fluid mechanics.
Am I understanding correctly that you want to use a combination of buoyancy and magnetic force to move a piston?
If you provide a little more details, then I can tell you whether I can help you. As of now I don't understand the concept completely.
My bid is 50$ since you put that as a minimum. I usually charge 40$/h.
Please feel free to contact me directly.
Best regards
Ben K
