Prototyping a thermal walker that can walk on a hot horizontal surface with a simple gait

Abstract This article reports on a newly designed thermal walker that can walk on a hot horizontal surface without any motor or battery. The walker converts heat energy from the hot surface into mechanical motion by using bimetal sheets. The prototype developed in the previous study successfully dem...
