Introduction
The purpose of this project is to research, model, build and test materials that retain permanent magnetism at high temperatures.
- Do a literature and product search for materials that are solid and permanent magnets at 1400 K and preferably up to 1700 K and model prospective materials
- Test selected materials
- Build and test an electromagnetically actuated high-temperature device

Objectives
To create an electromagnetically actuated device capable of:
- Heating the Phase Change Materials(PCM) to its melting point (1000K - 1700K).
- Creating an energy density of at least 1MWh/m^3 and a power density of 250kW/m^3 in the PCM.
- Efficiency greater than 90%
