PROJECTS: Self-Ventilating
By using solar energy, a thermobimetal system can be smartly designed to block the sun. This strategy is especially useful when trying to prevent solar heat gain and glare to enter a building, while using no energy and needing no controls.
Thermobimetal can also be used to rotate levers and ring bells. By positioning thermobimetal on one side of the lever, the curl caused by the sun can change the balance. The lever arm can move to hit a hollow globe to make sounds.
