<div class="htmlview paragraph">By using the stress-strain curves associated with Nitinol, both at T<sub>O</sub> (over its martensitic transition) and T<sub>U</sub> (under its martensitic transition), the principle of working mechanism for Nitinol Thermobile engine is analyzed.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Semiempirical calculation of the thermobile engine-efficiency show the efficiency to be dependent on the amount of strain imposed. An improved Thermobile engine which may prove ultimately suited for commercial application is introduced.</div>
